A normally open contact is similar to a spring loaded switch, found in push buttons, and relays. For a push button, when you push the button, the button head has a piece of metal that makes contact between two external screws, where the wires are attached. For a relay, the concept is the same, but instead of pushing the button yourself, the relay would be turned on and off by an external electronic device.
A push button has a simple switch mechanism, an open or no mechanism. The push buttons are usually made out of a hard material. Push buttons are normally biased switches.
One of the main advantages of a push button over a toggle switch is there is less room for accidental engagements. A toggle switch can easily be turned on or off by accident and a push button has to be intentionally touched to turn it on or off.
You build an electronic device to control a transistor switch that causes a mechanical device to push the switch. Now days we bypass the mechanical switch and the circuit can do the switching.
One can tell if a push button switch is on or off depending on the height of the button. If the button gets lower by pressing it, it is turned on (it was initially off). If the button gets higher by pressing it, it is turned off (it was initially on).

A toggle switch is like a light switch. You flick (or 'toggle') the switch on or off and it stays in that position until you flick it again. You could compare a push button switch to a key on a keyboard. When you press a key momentarily it will display one letter on the screen. If you hold down the key, the same letter will repeat (e.g. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa). Toggle switches can also look like push button switches. Most power buttons on a desktop computer tower is a toggle switch. The reset button on a computer tower is a push button switch.
There are many department stores that have a push button switch available. These include Bloomingdale's, JCPenny, Kohl's, Macy's, Nordstrom and many more.
