Wiring device for control of circuit continuity

Claim 1

A WIRING DEVICE COMPRISING AN INSULATING HOUSING MEMBER, A PAIR OF ELONGATED CONDUCTIVE MEMBERS POSITIONED END-TO-END IN SAID HOUSING, A PLURALITY OF SPACED TERMINAL MEMBERS MOUNTED IN SAID HOUSING, EACH OF A PAIR OF SAID TERMINAL MEMBERS HAVING A RESILIENT PORTION ENGAGING AN OUTER PORTION OF SAID ELONGATED MEMBERS, RESPECTIVELY, AT LEAST ONE OF SAID TERMINAL MEMBERS HAVING A CONTACT FOR ENGAGEMENT WITH A CONTACT OF AT LEAST ONE OF SAID ELONGATED MEMBERS, ROTATABLE MEANS POSITIONED FOR PIVOTAL MOVEMENT WITHIN SAID HOUSING AND ENGAGING AN INNER PORTION OF EACH OF SAID ELONGATED MEMBERS IN RESPECTIVE OFFSET LATERAL PLANES, SAID TERMINAL RESILIENT PORTIONS IMPOSING FORCES AT LEAST LONGITUDINALLY OF SAID ELONGATED MEMBERS TO URGE SAID ROTATABLE MEANS TOWARD ONE ROTARY POSITION IN WHICH ONE CIRCUIT CONDITION OF SAID CONTACTS IS DEFINED, A RELATIVELY PLANAR ELONGATED ACTUATING MEMBER ENGAGING SAID HOUSING FOR PIVOTAL MOVEMENT RELATIVE THERETO AND HAVING FIRST AND SECOND PORTIONS FOR ACTUATING THE OUTER PORTIONS OF SAID ELONGATED MEMBERS, RESPECTIVELY, SO THAT SAID ROTATABLE MEANS CAN BE PIVOTED INTO SECOND AND THIRD ROTARY POSITIONS, RESPECTIVELY, AND THEREBY DEFINE THE OPPOSITE CIRCUIT CONDITION OF SAID CONTACTS IN ONE OF SAID SECOND AND THIRD POSITIONS, THE LONGITUDINAL FORCES OF SAID TERMINAL RESILIENT PORTIONS CREATING A MOMENT OF FORCE APPLIED TO SAID ROTATABLE MEANS AND CAUSING SAID ROTATABLE MEANS TO ROTATE TO SAID ONE ROTARY POSITION WHEN SAID ACTUATING MEANS ARE RELEASED, MEANS FOR CONNECTING A CONDUCTOR TO SAID TERMINAL MEMBERS, RESPECTIVELY, AND MEANS FOR MOUNTING SAID WIRING DEVICE, WHEREBY THE ELECTRICAL CONTINUITY BETWEEN SAID CONTACTS CAN BE MOMENTARILY CONTROLLED.
