DEFINITION

Classification: 335/109

(under subclass 108) Subject matter wherein the contact actuating structure comprises a movable contact or wiper means movable in more than a single direction whereby the contacts are selectively chosen. The movement may comprise any combination of vertical, rotary, radial or other motions. The two or more directional movements are usually accomplished by means of separate magnet devices each operating separately in response to a given condition in the device.
