Abstract
A method and device for the elastic bending of a support (16) with at least one bendable end (24), intended in particular for a flexible switch (10). To achieve an elastic line of a finite radius of curvature also at the free end of the support, a bending moment diverging from zero is generated in the elastically bendable end (24) of the support (14) by applying a force coupling to an auxiliary lever (28).
