Claim Text:
1. A switch comprising: a first fixed contact and a second fixed contact in a container in which an insulating gas is filled; a first movable contact provided to be reciprocatingly movable with respect to the first fixed contact and configured to come into contact with and separate from the first fixed contact; a second movable contact provided to be reciprocatingly movable with respect to the second fixed contact and configured to come into contact with and separate from the second fixed contact; and a pin provided in the container and configured to move along an arcuate track, wherein a first groove in which the pin is fit and is movable is formed in the first movable contact, and a second groove in which the pin is fit and is movable is formed in the second movable contact, the first groove includes a linear groove linearly extending substantially perpendicularly to a moving direction of the first movable contact and substantially in parallel to a plane including a moving track of the pin and an arcuate groove that communicates with the linear groove and overlaps the moving track of the pin, the second groove includes a linear groove linearly extending substantially perpendicularly to a moving direction of the second movable contact and an arcuate groove that communicates with the linear groove, wherein when the pin moves on the arcuate track and passes the arcuate groove of the second groove of the second movable contact, the pin passes into the linear groove of the second groove of the second movable contact and into the arcuate groove of the first groove of the first movable contact, whereby the second movable contact reciprocatingly moves, and when the pin moves on the arcuate track and passes the arcuate groove of the first groove of the first movable contact, the pin passes into the linear groove of the first groove of the first movable contact and into the arcuate groove of the second groove of the second movable contact, whereby the first movable contact reciprocatingly moves.
