Abstract: A combination pressure switch including a pressure switch moveable between open and closed positions in response to a working pressure of a fluid, the pressure switch including a contact assembly having first and second terminals electrically connected through a current-carrying member movable by the pressure switch, and a manual switch configured to move the current-carrying member independent of the movement of the pressure switch.

Abstract: A diaphragm-actuated pressure differential switch assembly includes a blade spring for switching an electrical circuit. The blade spring comprises a proximal end portion configured for electrically conductive attachment to an electrical terminal, a plurality of flexible tension arms extending from the proximal end portion, a pressure contact region configured to accept transmission of a physical force to bend at least one of the plurality of flexible tension arms, a distal end portion integral with the flexible tension arms, the distal end portion including an electrical contact, and a compression spring integral with the distal end portion extending generally proximally from the distal end portion, the compression spring including a first leg and a second leg. Methods of constructing and using the diaphragm-actuated pressure differential switch assembly and the blade spring are also disclosed.

Abstract: A combination switch including a pressure switch moveable between closed and open positions in response to a working pressure of a fluid, an unloader valve moveable between open and closed positions, a mechanical interconnection between the pressure switch and the unloader valve and operable to move the unloader valve in response to movement of the pressure switch, and a mechanical lever selectively operable to move the pressure switch between the closed and the open position.
