Patent ID: 7872203

Claim:
A dual voltage switch, comprising: a cover comprising a base member, a protrusion extending from a surface of the base member and configured to receive a notch of a rotor, a wall member extending from the surface of the base member and defining an interior space of the cover, and a plurality of pockets extending from the wall member, within the interior space of the cover; a plurality of stationary electric contacts each being disposed within one of the pockets of the cover; a rotor coupled to the cover and rotatable around the protrusion of the base member; and two movable contacts coupled to the rotor and configured to be selectively electrically coupled to the stationary electric contacts in at least a first configuration and a second configuration, the first configuration corresponding to an in-series configuration of a transformer associated with the dual voltage switch, the second configuration corresponding to an in-parallel configuration of the transformer.
