Abstract

A switch device using a main switch coupled to a monostable auxiliary switch through a releasable coupling is disclosed. In this device, the auxiliary switch and the main switch are closed in succession by simultaneous movement of their respective contact-holders and are opened in the reverse order by virtue of the presence of the releasable coupling which is released during closing and engaged during opening.
