DEFINITION

Classification: 200/252

(under subclass 238) Subject matter, wherein the manner of cooperation or engagement between a fixed contact and a moving contact constitutes sliding or wiping. This type of engagement is characterized in that the relative movement between the contacts, whenever the contacts are approaching each other, does "not" terminate when the surface of one of the contacts touches the surface of the other contact, but rather there is a further movement between the contacts which constitutes a sliding or wiping motion after the initial touch.
