hmmm, ok, then what are the buttons that only make contact for a moment called?  I thought the buttons you you push and have continuous contact are are pushbuttons.  
HeadRusch:
Those are called "For the Moment that can last a Lifetime" buttons.......

Lets not argue Symantics ;)


IIOIOOIOO:
Never even heard of the type of switch you're talking about, though it sounds sort of similar to a MBB switch, if your result requires shorting of two circuits. For a good quick explanation of a few pieces of switch terminology, go to this url:

and scroll down. Google is your almighty friend.

Can you give an example of what you would use the type of switch you described for?

How about "impulse" buttons?  I'm using mame's internal source MACRO name. *shrug*  Cherry doesn't have "impulse", but its def of momentary is what everyone else is saying.

Pushbutton switches just means you push a button, instead of throw a switch.  You can have "momentary" pushbuttons, and (I think) "impulse" pushbuttons, and pushbuttons without a switch but a place to put one, like the arcade buttons.
