DEFINITION

Classification: 200/433

Contact slides over pivot point:

(under subclass 431) Subject matter wherein the contact is moved with a sliding motion over a pivot point by the actuator which causes the contact to cross over the pivot point with an abrupt snap motion.

(1) Note. Normally the contact is spring biased towards the pivot point by a plunger type element carried by the actuator, however spring biased pivot points and rigid coupling of the contact to the actuator are included.
