ABSTRACT:
An alternate action mechanism having a housing with first and second transverse walls enclosing a snap-acting switch accessible through a hole in the first wall. An actuator includes a plunger disposed in the hole for operating the switch and a guide structure slidable along the exterior surface of the second wall. A cam formed on the second wall cooperates with a follower carried by the guide structure to alternately retain the plunger in and release it from a depressed position upon successive depressions.
