Abstract
A control device has a housing with a chamber therein, and a pair of means is mounted to the housing within the chamber for supporting a first contact and a switch having a resilient switch blade with a second contact engaged with the first contact. The supporting means include at least one deformable section, and a pair of adjusting means are adjustably movable in the housing to affect the deformations of the at least one deformable sections of the supporting means thereby to locate the first contact in an adjusted position defining a force required to break the first and second contacts upon actuation of the switch and to bias the switch blade toward another adjusted position defining another force required to remake the first and second contacts upon the actuation of the switch.
