Abstract
A switch mechanism has a conductive mobile contact carrier with two lateral branches pivotally engaged with a central hub. The lateral branches of the conductive mobile contact carrier are continuous with its middle branch, each being joined to the latter by a large radius elbow, and the conductive mobile contact carrier bears on the output contacts through its lateral branches. The output contacts are near the central hub so that the lateral branches of the conductive mobile contact carrier are subjected to a local transverse self-cleaning movement when it comes into contact with the output contact. Applications include single-throw and double-throw switches.
