Patent ID: 6933632

Claim:
A turning-pivoting commutating rotary switch rotatable in a switching plane and mountable directly on a stator ( 6 ) of a universal motor with brush guides ( 2 ) for reversing the direction of rotation of a universal motor, said switch having two stator contacts ( 3 a , 3 b ) each making contact with a contact rail ( 5 a , 5 b ) running partially peripherally at at least one contact point ( 4 a , 4 b , 4 c ), said at least one contact point ( 4 a , 4 b , 4 c ) is conducting connected to the two diametrically opposing brush guides ( 2 ), wherein a contact rail ( 5 a ) with two contact points ( 4 a , 4 b ) extends at least halfway peripherally and wherein both stator contacts ( 3 a , 3 b ) are arranged on only one side in said switching plane of said stator ( 6 ) and wherein at least one contact point ( 4 a , 4 b , 4 c ) can be arranged rotatably switchable on a contact rail ( 5 a , 5 b ) running partially peripherally.
