Abstract
A switch relay with a switching status display is described, in which a display element is in operative connection with a switch contact of the switch relay and displays the switch positions in a clearly recognizable manner. The display element enlarges the display stroke so that contact movement is more readily visible. The principle is based on the elongation of a pointer of the flexing line of, for example, a constructed film hinge. As a result of the display element being constructed as a synthetic part low in mass, the contact dynamics are reduced by only a small extent.

A switch relay having a switch contact for electrically switching two terminals the switch relay comprising:
- a display element being movably mounted in operative connection with the switch contact, the display element is mounted at a flexible connection point to be pivotal between a rest position and a display position in dependence on the position of the switch contact.
