DEFINITION

Classification: 337/408

(under subclass 407) Subject matter wherein the contact control structure includes mechanical means whereby contact opening or closing results from a rectilinear sliding or reciprocating motion of the operating means under the influence of the spring means.

(1) Note. For other reciprocating or rectilinear sliding means used in devices of this class, see the subclasses listed under SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS in subclass 10.
