Abstract: A multiple-position slide switch having a detent member operative side-wise with respect to the path of movement of the sliding contact carrier of the switch to hold the carrier in a selected position. The detent member which is formed of material, preferably such as moldable plastic, having the power of recovering its initially produced durable or static shape when a deforming force or pressure causing it to be temporarily deformed is removed, is in the form of a flat member having a pair of laterally spaced longitudinally extending flexible struts which embrace therebetween an upwardly projecting knob of the slidable carrier, the inner edges of the struts and the outer surfaces of the carrier knob being complementally shaped to provide coacting surfaces which coact upon deflection of the struts to snap the carrier into its selected position. In one form of the invention, the detent member provides the snap-action movement through the intervention of a pivoted toggle lever acting upon the slidable contact carrier knob, while in another form thereof the snap-action is provided by direct manual manipulation of the slidable contact carrier knob.

Abstract: A slide switch designed for snap action operation thereof having a pivoted rocker arm engaging flexible elements of the insulated slide member of the switch. These flexible elements are formed of material, preferably such as moldable plastic, which has the inherent elastical power of recovering its initially produced durable shape when a deforming force or pressure causing it to be temporarily deformed is removed. The insulated slide member is provided with upwardly projecting lugs which embrace therebetween the pivoted lever arm by which they are outwardly deflected to store up energy for the snap action of the switch. While the free end of the pivoted lever arm is preferably bifurcated to provide it with flexible extremities which are flexed inwardly simultaneously as the slide lugs are outwardly deflected whereby to augment the snap actuating energy stored up by the flexed lugs of the slide member, the lever arm may be formed as a solid member so that the requisite energy is obtained solely by the flexure of the slide lugs.

Abstract translation: 一种设计用于其快动操作的滑动开关，其具有枢转的摇臂，其与开关的绝缘滑动构件的柔性元件接合。 这些柔性元件由优选例如可塑性塑料的材料制成，其具有固有的弹性功能，以便在使其暂时变形的变形力或压力被消除时恢复其初始生产的耐用形状。 绝缘滑动构件设置有向上突出的凸耳，其在它们之间包围枢转的杠杆臂，通过它们向外偏转以便储存能量以用于开关的快速动作。 虽然枢转杠杆臂的自由端优选地分叉以向其提供柔性的四肢，当四个滑动凸耳向外偏转时，它们同时向内弯曲，从而增加由滑动构件的弯曲凸耳所储存的卡扣动作能量，杠杆 臂可以形成为固体构件，使得仅通过滑动凸耳的弯曲获得所需的能量。
