Abstract:
Set of movable contacts for a switch with a set of fixed contacts that comprises at least one pair of fixed contacts arranged a distance apart, comprising at least one contact element (1), a holder body (2) therefor and a resilient element (6), which contact element (1), when the switch is in the closed position, is in contact with a surface of the pair of fixed contacts under mechanical prestress produced by the resilient element (6) and bridges a distance between the free end edges thereof facing one another, in which the holder body (2) has a front and rear face running perpendicularly to the direction of movement thereof and side faces (3) running perpendicularly to said front and rear faces and parallel to the direction of movement, in which a side face (3) is provided with a longitudinal recess (4) continuing to the end faces (5) of the holder body for accommodating the contact element (1) in such a way that the ends thereof protrude beyond the two end faces (5) of the holder body (2), characterised in that the resilient element (6) is arranged such that it encloses the contact element (1) in interaction with the longitudinal recess (4) in the holder (2) and holds the contact element in the longitudinal recess.
