Stroke converting mechanism for a switch.

摘要

A stroke converting mechanism for a switch, formed of sheet or plate-like material and having a unitary structure, comprises a frame part or frame parts (155), first and second tongues (151, 152) and a first bend portion (153), to opposite ends of which first bend portion (153) the roots of the tongues are respectively joined, such that the tips of the tongues lie along differently directed lines from the first bend portion (153), and two second bend portions (154), to opposite respective sides of the first bend portion (153), each extending to join at opposite ends thereof the second tongue 152 towards its tip and the or a frame part 155, respectively.
<??>When the frame part or parts 155 are mounted in a switch and force applied to displace the tip of the first tongue 151 generally towards the second tongue 152 the tongues are caused to turn around the first bend portion 153 so that the tip of the second tongue 152 is consequently displaced, and when the tip of the first tongue is released the tongues turn oppositely around the first bend portion so as to return to their original positions.
