DEFINITION

Classification: 337/350

(under subclass 334) Subject matter wherein the contact control means consists of structure comprising a mechanical linkage whereby the movement of a movable contact, or contacts, results from a force applied thereto as a final result of the conversion of a force applied in a first direction to a force applied in a second direction; for example, a linear first motion may be converted to a rotary motion about a fixed origin or pivot as by a toggle linkage.
