Title:
MEMBRANE SWITCH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001039221
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The membrane switch comprises a key (1) actuating a tilting actuator (2) extending into two legs (8, 9) which act upon protuberances (12, 13) of a conducting membrane (14) associated with an electrical circuit by means of vertical actuators (10, 11). In a first tilting position of the actuator (2), a first leg (8) acts upon a first vertical actuation element (10) that is associated with the protuberance (12) and brings about the connection position. In a second position, a second leg (9) of the actuator (2) acts upon a second vertical actuation element (11) that is associated with another protuberance (13) of the membrane (14) and that brings about the disconnection position. A switch occupying little space and also enabling to visually determine the position of the switch at any time is thus obtained.
