Reciprocable magnet switch

Claim 1

A switch for use with a circuit board of dielectric material adapted for such use and wherein said circuit board has conductive strips having circuit-terminal elements; said switch comprising a switch cover and switch member, said switch cover being of dielectric material, said switch cover mounting said switch member for translatory movement therein in circuit closing or opening, said switch member having an electrically non-conductive strip magnet having consecutive, alternating polarities and at least one contact element, said circuit board carrying an electrically non-conductive strip magnet having consecutive, alternating polarities, said switch having respective closed and open positions of engagement of said contact and circuit-terminal elements for circuit closing and of disengagement of said contact and circuit-terminal elements for circuit opening, said contact and circuit-terminal elements remaining always in parallel relationship, said contact and circuit-terminal elements closing square in circuit closing, and said strip magnets being arranged and disposed respecting said respective switch closed and open positions such that said strip magnets have opposite attracting polarities for circuit closing and said strip magnets having the same and repelling polarities for circuit opening.
