- Each arm 52B, 53B is then here connected to the support portion 51 by a line of lesser thickness 52A, 53A, which forms an elastic hinge. In this way, the two arms 52B, 53B can pivot forwards or backwards relative to the support part 51.
- the elasticity of the hinge however, always makes it possible to automatically recall the two arms 52B, 53B in the plane of the support part 51.
- Each arm has a through opening for fixing a rigid pin 52C, 53C.
- These rigid pins 52C, 53C each have a mushroom shape, with a rod engaged in force in the through opening of the arm 52B, 53B, and a rearwardly facing head to come into contact with the movable blade 30.
- These rigid pins 52C, 53C are made of a material different from that of the rest of the braking accessory 50, which has in particular a better mechanical strength in case of temperature rise. This material is chosen in particular to comply with IEC60669-1 - paragraph 21 .3.
- the rigid pins will be molded in one piece with the braking accessory.
- the two damping portions 52, 53 thus form two wings extending on either side of the support portion 51 so that they are respectively adapted to come into contact with the two end portions.
- movable broom 30 see Figures 5 and 8).
- the shape and the position of the braking accessory 50 are chosen so that, when the mobile blade 30 is in contact with any first of the contact pins 1 1 by its first part d end 32 (in a stable position), the corresponding damping portion 53 of the braking accessory 50 is located at a distance from this first end portion 32 of the movable blade 30, in a position such that it is adapted to be struck by this first end portion 32 when the sweeper 30 tilts to its other stable position.
- the electrical switch 1 is shown in a position in which the control key 40 has swung over more than half of his race. In this position, the nose 63 of the piston 61 has already passed the hard point and it then exerts on the movable blade 30 a force to quickly switch it to its second stable position.
- the support portion and the damping portions form separate pieces.
- the damping portions are immobile with respect to the support portion, and that they are made of a soft and elastically deformable material.
- the movable blade would then sink into one of the damping portions during its tilting.
- the electrical switch is a simple switch (which therefore comprises a contact cap and a single contact pin)
- the braking member has only one damping portion adapted to dampen the impact of the moving broom on the single contact pin. It could of course also have two parts of depreciation to brake the movable broom both when opening and closing the switch.
