Claim Text:
1. A rotor for an electric switch, comprising: a rotor housing; a rotatably mounted contact bridge including two movable contacts, the two movable contacts being configured to, by rotation of the rotor, interact with two fixed contacts of an electric switch to close or open a circuit, the rotatably mounted contact bridge being movably mounted in the rotor housing in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the contact bridge in a closed position; a first plate in an interior of the rotor housing, arranged essentially perpendicular to the contact bridge; two pairs of first and second spring pins; and two pairs of first and second springs, first ends of the respective pairs of springs being secured to the first spring pins, wherein the first spring pins lie on the contact bridge and the first plate, and second ends of the respective pairs of springs being secured to the second spring pins, wherein the second spring pins are secured to the first plate, such that, in the closed position of the rotor, a minimum contact pressure of the movable contacts of the contact bridge onto the fixed contacts is guaranteed, the second spring pins being movably mounted in the rotor housing.
