Abstract:
1. An electrical switch, comprising: a first conducting bar with a first axis; a second conducting bar with a second axis perpendicular to the first axis of the first conducting bar, and that has an end at a spacing from the first conducting bar; a fixed grounding contact to be electrically connected to the first conducting bar; a switching element free to move along a first axial direction of the first axis between a grounding position in which the first and second conducting bars are separated from each other and a switching position in which the first and second conducting bars are connected to each other, wherein the switching element includes a contact pin parallel to the first axis and located at a distance from the first axis, such that the fixed grounding contact and the contact pin engage in each other through displacement of the switching element along the first axial direction, the grounding and switching positions located on each side of the closed position.
