ABSTRACT:
Electric switch apparatus comprises a housing containing first and second pairs of contacts, the separate contacts of each pair being held normally open by resilient means locally deformable to allow separate engagement of either pair. A rocker member pivotably supported in the housing has a pair of legs, one extending toward one contact of each pair and effective to push that contact into engagement with the other contact of the pair against the bias of the resilient means as the rocker member is reciprocated to one of two extreme positions. The housing further contains a pair of spring detents, each comprising a metallic strip having one end fastened to the housing adjacent one of the legs and another end spaced from the housing for engagement with the adjacent leg as it moves away from its associated pair of contacts, to hold the rocker member in the position in which the other leg produces engagement of the other pair of contacts.
