Switch

1. A movable contact for a rotary switch, comprising:

a first contact configured to contact a stationary contact;

a second contact configured to contact a stationary contact, the first contact and the second contact being arranged at a distance from each other to receive a stationary contact between the first contact and the second contact, wherein:

the first contact is a stationary blade for contacting stationary contacts at both ends of the blade; and

the second contact is a spring element configured to bend when the stationary contact is placed between the first contact and the second contact, and to cause a pressing force to the stationary contact to press the stationary contact against the first contact after the stationary contact has been placed between the first contact and the second contact,

wherein the second contact includes a fastening portion configured to fasten the second contact and the first contact to each other, the first contact and the second contact being aligned with each other along the fastening portion, the fastening portion extending a distance from a middle of the movable contact toward both ends of the movable contact.

2. A movable contact according to claim 1 , wherein the second contact includes a projecting portion which projects away from a plane of the fastening portion.

3. A movable contact according to claim 2 , wherein the projecting portion projects at an angle of about 45 degrees from the plane of the fastening portion.

4. A movable contact according to claim 3 , wherein the projecting portion of the second contact has a smaller width than the first contact.

5. A movable contact according to claim 2 , wherein the projecting portion of the second contact has a smaller width than the first contact.

6. A movable contact according to claim 1 , wherein the second contact comprises a contact surface configured to contact the stationary contact and press the stationary contact against the first contact, the contact surface being aligned substantially parallel with the first contact.

7. A movable contact according to claim 6 , wherein the second contact comprises a guiding surface configured to guide the stationary contact between the contact surface of the second contact and the first contact, the guiding surface projecting away from a plane of a support surface of the second contact.

8. A movable contact according to claim 7 , wherein the guiding surface is the outermost element of the movable contact to tempt a burning arc thereto.

9. A movable contact according to claim 1 , wherein the first contact is manufactured from copper coated with silver.

10. A movable contact according to claim 1 , wherein the first contact has a rounded angle, which is configured to meet the stationary contact.

11. A movable contact according to claim 1 , wherein the second contact is made of a stainless steel plate.

12. A movable contact according to claim 2 , wherein the second contact has a widening at the fastening portion of the second contact, the widening extending wider than a width of the first contact and constituting a wider portion of the second contact, and the wider portion of the second contact is bent such that the wider portion extends along the sides of the first contact on both sides of the first contact,

wherein the fastening portion of the second contact defines the outer surface of the movable contact at the middle of the movable contact for allowing the fastening of the movable contact to a rotary contact in a longitudinal direction.

13. A movable contact according to claim 1 , wherein the second contact comprises a first receiving portion configured to receive the stationary contact at a first end of the movable contact, and a second receiving portion configured to receive the stationary contact at a second end of the movable contact.

14. A movable contact according to claim 13 , wherein the first receiving portion and the second receiving portion are arranged on different sides of the movable contact and are mirror images of each other.

15. A roll of a rotary switch, comprising:

a slot open from a top of the roll for receiving a movable contact according to claim 1 .
