Abstract
A simplified electric switch construction is disclosed. The switch construction comprises at least a pair of confronting first and second terminals each having a bridge portion, a conductive resilient plate having one end shaped as a polygonal pyramid disposed in confronting relation to the bridge portion of the first terminal and an opposite end connected to the bridge portion of the second terminal, a presser for depressing an intermediate portion of the resilient plate to bring the tapered end into contact with the bridge portion of the first terminal, and a driver for depressing the presser. The switch construction may contain a printed-circuit board with an electric circuit thereon.
Claims4
An electric switch construction comprising:
- (a) at least a pair of confronting first and second terminals each having a bridge portion;
- (b) a conductive resilient plate having one end shaped as a pyramid disposed in confronting relation to the bridge portion of said first terminal and an opposite end connected to the bridge portion of said second terminal;
- (c) a presser for depressing an intermediate portion of said resilient plate to bring said pyramid-shaped end into point to point contact with the bridge portion of said first terminal and for causing said pyramid-shaped end to slide across the contacted surface of the bridge portion of said first terminal;
- and
- (d) a driver for depressing said presser.
An electric switch construction comprising:
- (a) a printed-circuit board with an electric circuit thereon;
- (b) at least a pair of first and second terminals connected to said electric circuit on said printed-circuit board, each of said terminals having a bridge portion;
- (c) a conductive resilient plate having one end shaped as a pyramid disposed in confronting relation to the bridge portion of said first terminal and an opposite end connected to the bridge portion of said second terminal;
- (d) a presser for depressing an intermediate portion of said resilient plate to bring said pyramid-shaped end into point-to-point cotact with the bridge portion of said first terminal and for causing said pyrmaid-shaped end to slide across the contacted surface of the bridge portion of said first terminal;
- and
- (e) a driver for depressing said presser.
