Multiple cantilever spring contact hook switch

A multiple cantilever spring contact switch comprising:

• a base and a top, each having a planar web, the webs spaced apart to define a contact enclosure;
• a rim along one edge of each of said base and top, said rims in opposition;
• clamping surfaces at said rims;
• cantilever spring contact members clamped at one end between said clamping surfaces, said clamping surfaces inclined relative to each other whereby said contact members extend at different inclinations across said enclosure, electrically isolated from each other, said spring contact members and said base and top forming a switch assembly;
• contact positions at free ends of said contact members, one of said contact members extended at said free end beyond said enclosure for actuation thereof;
• means for connecting an electrical conductor to each contact member;
• and
• a pivotal member pivotally mounted on said switch assembly, said pivotal member including a projecting member having an edge positioned in actuating-relationship to said free ends of said extended contact members, and localized means on said pivotal member for contact with an operating member whereby movement of said operating member pivots said pivotal member to actuate said contact members, actuation of said extended contact members changing contact conditions between said contact members.
