  • Patent number: 3996429
    Abstract: A push-button switch has a spring contact plate and a circuit board in superposed position. The spring contact plate has one or more switch positions, each switch position comprising a prestressed domed portion surrounded by a common flat sheet portion. The spring contacts of each prestressed dome portion selectively engage peripheral contact areas on the circuit board followed by the central contact portion engaging subsequently with a further fixed central contact area on the circuit board. Accordingly, plural inputs of electronic logic circuits may be preselected prior to simultaneous activation upon subsequent closure of the central contacts at a given switch position. Release of the push button enables the domed portion to snap back to the stable position.
