Abstract

A vacuum actuated switch has a pair of snap action contacts which are actuated in response to the operation of two vacuum motors. One vacuum motor controls the opening and closing of the contacts in a first predetermined range of vacuum. The other vacuum motor extends the range of operation to a second and larger predetermined range of vacuum wherein one limit of the second range is the same as the first range.
