HANGING TYPE SWITCH CONSTRUCTION

摘要

A hanging-type switch construction includes an insert carrier which is adapted to carry all of the switching elements and which is adapted to be secured to a bottom portion of a housing which is adapted to carry the push button switch actuating mechanism. The push button mechanism includes a pivotal lever which becomes engaged with the switching lever mechanism of the switching elements. The bottom part also forms a handle. The housing includes an intermediate or central part which is interengaged with the bottom part and which includes a pivotal support which engages around a journal portion of the insert carrier for the switching elements. The top part of the housing also interengages with the central part and it includes an inlet at its top for the connecting cable and it also carries means for clamping this top part to the insert carrier. By making the central part of a plastically deformable material it is possible for the upper part to twist relative to the lower part without destruction of the housing and it is also possible to interconnect several housings by connecting their elastically dependable central parts together.
