Abstract:
1. An electric slider switch comprising: a switch housing delimiting an internal chamber; a first slider, arranged in said internal chamber and which is guided to slide along a horizontal axis of the switch housing so as to be movably mounted in a first direction between an idle axial position which is defined by a first fixed end stop element of the switch housing, and an active axial position in which it contacts a first electricity conducting means, arranged in the internal chamber, to establish a first electrical switching channel; a first actuator which is connected in axial relationship with the first slider and which extends out of the switch housing to enable the first slider to be actuated in said first direction towards its active axial position; a second slider, arranged in said internal chamber and which is guided to slide along said axis of the switch housing so as to be movably mounted in a second direction, opposite to said first direction, between an idle position which is defined by a second fixed end stop element of the switch housing, and a second active position in which it contacts a second electricity conducting means, arranged in the internal chamber, to establish a second electrical switching channel; a second actuator which is connected in axial relationship with the second slider and which extends out of the switch housing to enable the second slider to be actuated in said second direction towards its active axial position; and a common return spring that is a compression spring that is mounted axially compressed between the first and second sliders and which simultaneously stresses each of the two sliders towards their respective idle axial positions.
