A leaf spring system and an electric switch provided with such a leaf spring system.

摘要

A leaf spring system (1), in particular for influencing at least one body operating or comprising one or more contacts of an electric switch, with a chassis and at least one leaf spring (2) which can act on the at least one body. Said leaf spring system (1) comprises a supporting frame (3) for receiving in the frame aperture (4) thereof, supported at one end, the at least one leaf spring (2), while in the frame aperture (4) between the projecting free end (7) of the leaf spring (2) and the edge (8) of the supporting frame (3) - situated opposite that end (7) - the at least one body to be influenced by the spring action can be accomodated. The dimension of said body in the frame aperture (4) being greater than the distance between the said edge (8) of the supporting frame (2) and the free end (7) of the at least one leaf spring (2)when the latter is situated essentially in the plane of the supporting frame (3). Said supporting frame (3) being rigidly supported by the chassis. The invention further relates to leaf spring combinations to be used with and electric switches provided with such a leaf spring system.
