Abstract
An electric switch comprising two parallel blades (1) and (2) between which is placed a battery (3), these two blades being connected by a bending-connecting blade shaped like a V (4). The blade (1) comprises at its end a receptacle (8) connecting one of the poles (10) of the battery (3) to the load (light bulb, motor). The other flexible blade (2) comprises at its end a means (13-14) to make electrical contact with this receptacle (8).
Claims11
An electric switch for electrically connecting a direct-current source such as a cell, a battery, or a storage battery, to a load on a direct-current which is produced from the direct-current source, comprising an insulating, semi-rigid, integral piece of plastic covered with a conducting layer, said integral piece of plastic comprising:
- a first blade provided with a means for making electrical contact between a first pole of the direct-current source and the load, said first blade also being provided with an electrical break to current passage along the length of the first blade;
- a second blade which is parallel to the first blade and is arranged on an opposite side of the direct-current source from the first blade, said second blade being provided with a means to make electrical contact to the load wherein said second blade acts as a flexure member for said means to make electrical contact;
- a means for keeping the direct-current source located between said first and second blades, said keeping means being attached to the first and second blades;
- and
- a connecting blade capable of absorbing shock energy and dimensional variation of said direct-current source, said connecting blade being joined to the bases of said first and second blades while being in electrical contact with a second pole of the direct-current source.
