An electric slide switch has at least two contact pins that are secured to a base plate. A contact element supported in sliding fashion is provided for electrically connecting two contact pins. According to the invention, the contact element is situated on a slider that is connected to an actuating component and the actuating component protrudes laterally from the housing. |

A redundant switch includes a housing and an actuator movable in the housing in two opposing translational directions. A slide is movable in the housing in the same two opposing directions as the actuator and is coupled to the actuator by two antagonistic springs with clearance in both directions of movement. The switch also includes a latching track with at least two latching notches, which are spaced from each other along the directions of movement. At least two switch units are arranged one beside the other for simultaneous actuation by the slide. A latching cam is movably guided on the slide perpendicular to its directions of translational movement and is urged towards the latching track by a compression spring. One of the latching notches in cooperation with the latching cam defines a rest position of the slide, in which the slide does not actuate the switch units. Another latching notch in cooperation with the latching cam defines an actuating position of the slide, in which the slide has actuated the switch units. The antagonistic springs force the slide to move into the respective other position, when the latching cam slides over an apex between the latching notches. |

A remotely operable switch actuator for model train having a housing adapted to receive an electrical switch having a toggle, a slider translationally received by the housing and linked to the toggle, and a fulcrum for receiving mid portion of a connecting rod. The fulcrum may be translationally received by the housing, which when moved, alters the throw of the connecting rod. In certain embodiments of the invention, the slider has means for receiving a first end portion of the connecting rod where the second end of the connecting rod may engage a throw bar. In other embodiments, the actuator further includes a lever pivotally received by the housing, and linked at one end to the slider and the other end linkable to the connecting rod at one end thereof. |

An electrical outlet receptacle adapted to be plugged into a conventional wall socket includes a circuit interrupting switch in the form of a bar or rod axially extending from the receptacle housing and being movable between first and second positions. The receptacle includes a pair of blade contacts engageable with the receptacle of a wall socket which blade contacts have a gap situated therein in such a manner as to orthogonally engage in a slidable fashion the axially movable bar. The latter, in turn, carries a pair of contacts adapted to bridge the gap in the switch blades depending upon the axial position of the bar. Thus, in the first position of the bar, the contacts do not bridge the gaps in the blade contacts whereas in the second position of the bar the contacts do bridge the gaps in the blade contacts thereby permitting an appliance plugged into the safety receptacle to draw electrical power from the wall socket. |

A line switch for twin-wire cable comprises a switch housing of one-piece clamshell-type construction, a pair of terminals mounted within the housing, a leaf spring having a pair of movable contact portions within the housing, and an armature for moving the movable contact portions between a closed and an open position. A cover portion and a body portion of the switch housing are hinged together along a common longitudinal edge which serves as a living hinge. The housing has a channel in which an open elongated electrical wire is laid, and a piercing projection integral with a stationary contact portion of the terminals is operative to pierce through and electromechanically engage the open wire when the cover portion is pivoted to close the body portion in an assembled position. Snap-action legs maintain the cover and body portions in the assembled position. |

A redundant switch is provided to secure a stable operation of a redundant switch unit for a short time without requiring the mechanical accuracy. An actuator(12) and a slide(16) move to two opposite translation directions in the housing. The slide is coupled with the actuator by two springs. The slide has an operational incline. A latching track(18) is fixed in the housing. The latching track has two latching notches or more. Two switch units(26a,26b) are fixed in the housing. An operational tapper of each switching unit is engaged with the operational incline of the slide. A latching cam(22) is pressurized to the latching track by the compression spring. |
