DEFINITION

Classification: 200/538

Push/pull rod:

(under subclass 537) Subject matter wherein the solid conductive elements are moved into engagement by a rigid rod actuating member and disengaged when the rigid rod actuating member is moved in the opposite direction.

(1) Note. These switch devices are generally the reverse of a push button switch, being pulled into engagement rather than pushed into engagement. Also included in this subclass are push rods that require a push at one end to actuate and a push at the other end to deactuate.
