ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a slide-operated switch having a pair of separate movable contacts which are normally biased away from a single stationary contact and are pressed against the stationary contact to energize the switch by a pair of ribs on a sliding toggle plate assembly. The ribs each have a relieved portion which when aligned with the respective movable contact, permits same to move away from the fixed contact and open the circuit. If the ribs are mounted on a single toggle plate, the movable contacts are closed and opened alternately or simultaneously depending on whether the relieved portions are aligned or staggered on the respective ribs. Two separate toggle plates can also be used for the independent operation of both switches, and outlet assemblies may be provided above and below the toggle plates. Wires are joined to the various contacts by means of unique screw-operated clamp terminals.
