Abstract

Abstract A contact element (2) has an arm portion (2A) present in the opening of a housing (1). A bearing portion (4) has concentric upper concave and lower convex bearing surfaces (4A) and (4B). A pressure member (6) has a receiving slot (8) for gradually receiving the bearing portion (4) as it is rotated toward the closed position. The receiving slot (8) has upper and lower inner surfaces (8A) and (8B) engaging the upper convex and lower straight bearing surfaces (4A) and (4B), respectively. The pressure portion (7) is positioned close to a line including the center of rotation and the end of the lower inner surface (8B).
