ABSTRACT:
A method of making a control device having an opening therein, at least a pair of abutments on the control device within the opening and having a pair of laterally spaced apart points thereon defining a chord of the opening, and a snap-action member in the opening and operable between a stable configuration and an unstable configuration thereof with the snap action member being engaged only in the unstable configuration thereof the at least abutment means pair. In this method, the snap-action member is formed into the stable configuration thereof from a metallic material having a directed grain structure. The snap-action member is seated on the control device in a preselected assembly position so as to extend at least in part about the opening, and the direction of the grain orientation of the snap-action member is aligned so as to extend generally perpendicularly with respect to the chord of the opening.
