Abstract:
1. A resilient switching device comprising: a casing that is hollow and defines an interior space, the casing forming at least two slots and two recesses; two electrically conductive pieces received in the slots of the casing respectively, a first conductive contact fixed on a first one of the conductive pieces; a resilient contact piece comprising an elastic strip having a turning zone and deflected to a predetermined side normally, one end of the resilient contact piece being fixed to at a second one of the conductive pieces and the other end being provided with a second conductive contact at a position corresponding to the first conductive contact of the first conductive piece; and a depression key forming a gap at a middle part for clamping the resilient contact piece, and two ends of the depression key movably extending through the recesses of the casing; wherein by pushing either end of the depression key to move the resilient contact piece clamped at the gap upwards or downwards, the upper or the lower end face of the gap depress down or prop up the turning zone of the resilient contact piece to selectively result in engagement/disengagement between the first conductive contact and the second conductive contact, thereby selectively effecting “ON” or “OFF” state.
