Bimodal (e.g., single stroke make/break-no make on return):
(under subclass 502) Subject matter wherein the contacts travel in one path upon actuation and includes mechanism to divert the contacts into another path upon their return.
(1) Note. The initial actuating stroke causes a closing and then opening (or vice-versa) of the contacts. The return stroke of the actuator returns the movable contact to its original position, but the mechanism does not permit reactuation.
