Abstract:
A stop-motion switch in a machine tool has two side- by-side plungers depressible independently and together by a projection secured to the worktable. Each plunger carries one of two switch contacts arranged to break contact when the plungers are depressed one relative to the other by more than a predetermined amount, the final signal to stop motion being given by the contacts making contact when the plungers have been depressed successively by the projection. |  |
