Abstract

A switch including a triggering member that is adapted to come to bear on two peripheral fixed contacts to make a first switchpath and that is deformable to make an electrical connection between these two fixed contacts and a central fixed contact to make a second switchpath consecutively to making the first switchpath. The triggering member may occupy an initial high rest position and a final low switching position toward which it is moved by an actuating member against a return force exerted by a spring that is disposed between the support for the contacts and the triggering member.
