Patent ID: 7009128

Claim:
An electrical switch assembly, comprising: a first pair of stationary contacts positioned on a first side of the electrical switch assembly; a second pair of stationary contacts positioned on a second side of the electrical switch assembly; a movable contact member; and a conductive member electrically connecting one contact of the first pair of stationary contacts with one contact of the second pair of stationary contacts; wherein the movable contact member is configured to selectively establish an electrical path between the first pair of stationary contacts in a first position, and wherein the movable contact member is configured to selectively establish an electrical path between the second pair of stationary contacts in a second position; and wherein the movable contact member connects the first pair of stationary contacts with one of the contacts of the second pair of contacts through the conductive member when the movable contact member is in the first position, and wherein the movable contact member connects the second pair of stationary contacts with one of the contacts of the first pair of contacts through the conductive member when the movable contact member is in the second position.
