Abstract: In a position detecting switch, a first movable contact is disposed in a first receptacle formed in a sliding body and is urged toward a casing member by a first spring so as to engage first and second stationary contacts mounted in the casing member when the sliding body is in a selected position. In order to prevent non-contact due to rotating moment of the first movable contact relative to the stationary contacts one or more features for inhibiting or reducing the relative moment are provided such as: (1) The first and second stationary contacts can be urged toward the first movable contact by fourth and fifth springs. (2) An elastic member or members can be disposed in a clearance between end walls of the sliding body and walls of the first receptacle. (3) The first spring can be restrained to apply its load to a substantially middle portion of the movable contact. (4) A plurality of the first springs can be provided to apply load the movable contact at a plurality of locations in a lengthwise direction.

Abstract: An oil pressure control system for an automatic transmission which is equipped with a clutch including: an oil chamber; a piston adapted to be moved forward by pressure oil fed to the oil chamber; a plurality of friction discs adapted to engage when thrust by the piston; and a check valve assembly adapted to be opened by a centrifugal force, to release the pressure oil from the oil chamber. The control system comprises: an oil passage for feeding and releasing the pressure oil to and from the oil chamber; a limiter for limiting the inflow of the pressure oil into the oil chamber via the oil passage; an idle revolution detector for detecting that the clutch is idly revolving, to output an output signal when it detects the idle revolution; and a command unit made responsive to the output signal of the detector for limiting the inflow of the pressure oil into the clutch via the oil passage.
