Abstract

Described herein is a device for actuating a double snap-action switch for controlling electrical apparatus of a motor vehicle, said device comprising a pushbutton (4) and a container body, in which there move at least two mobile contacts (10) designed to perform a travel to reach either of two positions of arrest with closing of first and second fixed contacts of a printed circuit (7), said mobile contacts being moved by an elastic-snap-action element on which there acts a pair of rigid bars (17,18) each controlled by a pair of prods (19,20) that act on them in a misaligned way, said prods (19,20) and said rigid bars (17,18) being made of a single piece out of plastic material and with a hinge designed to enable conversion of the rectilinear movement of thrust on the prod into a movement of rotation and translation of the bar.
