Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A linear switch contact assembly comprising a first-conductor strip, a second-conductor strip, and a nonconductive strip, said strips being superposed in the order mentioned, said nonconductive strip including a main flat portion and a pair of inturned opposing marginal flanges forming acute angles with the main flat portion, extending for a limited distance between said conductor strips and serving to yieldably hold the same in spaced relation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
A linear switch contact assembly comprising a first-conductor strip, a second-conductor strip, and a nonconductive strip, said strips being superposed in the order mentioned, said nonconductive strip including a main flat portion and a pair of inturned opposing marginal flanges forming acute angles with the main flat portion, extending for a limited distance between said conductor strips and serving to yieldably hold the same in spaced relation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
97 words
A linear switch comprising: a. a body formed of nonconductive material having a central cavity therein; b. a lower conductor strip nonmovably positioned at the bottom of said cavity of said body and supported from the lower wall of said body; c. an upper conductor strip positioned within the cavity of said body in a normally spaced relationship with said lower conductor strip; and d. a single pair of yieldable flanges extending between said conductor strips for a limited distance, said flanges engaging said upper conductor strip and forming an acute angle with said lower conductor strip.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
97 words
A linear switch comprising: a. a body formed of nonconductive material having a central cavity therein; b. a lower conductor strip nonmovably positioned at the bottom of said cavity of said body and supported from the lower wall of said body; c. an upper conductor strip positioned within the cavity of said body in a normally spaced relationship with said lower conductor strip; and d. a single pair of yieldable flanges extending between said conductor strips for a limited distance, said flanges engaging said upper conductor strip and forming an acute angle with said lower conductor strip.
