Abstract
An upper part of an electric switch casing is positioned over a lower part of the casing and is form-locked therewith. Between said parts a first chamber, in which voltage carrying connecting pieces are mounted, is formed between peripheral vertical side walls of the lower part and a vertical partition of the lower part. The width and the height of a first gap between the peripheral vertical side wall of the upper part of the casing and the peripheral vertical side wall of the lower part of the casing as well as of a second gap between the vertical partition projection of the upper part of the casing and the vertical partition of the lower part of the casing are such that the capillary elevation of liquids used in household occurring in said gaps is lower than the height of said gaps the width of said first and second gaps being kept as low as possible. The casing of the invention for the electric household appliance switch characterizes itself in that it can be assembled in a simple way, it occupies little space and a household appliance user is reliably protected against coming in contact with high voltage carrying connecting pieces.
