Abstract
The invention relates to a timing pulse generating switch assembly, particularly for the monitoring circuit of an oil or gas furnace, having at least one snap switch provided with a contact arm which carries the movable contact. The movable contact arm is fixed with respect to the housing at one end and there is provided a snap system which adjusts the contact arm. The snap system possesses a snap arm which is fixed with respect to the housing at one end and is preferably formed by the contact arm. The snap system includes a snap spring which is articulated to the snap arm and, at its other end, is articulated to a slide that is reciprocatable by a bimetallic member. The switch assembly includes and is influenced by a locking element that is actuated by separate means such as the armature of a relay. The locking element functions to block the movable contact in its rest position as well as in its operating position by using a blocking member which is carried along by the slide.
