A bistable switch comprising an electrically and magnetically conductive, unilaterally clamped flexible contact member, a freely movable end of which can be alternately brought into contact, by means of a magnetic flux, with one of two electrically and magnetically conductive counter-contacts. After termination of the excitation flux, the contact position is maintained by means of a permanent magnet. The contact member comprises a strip-shaped portion having a high magnetic resistance which is comparatively flexible, and a strip-shaped portion having a low magnetic resistance which is comparatively rigid. The magnetic as well as mechanical properties of such a switch can thus be optimized. |
