ABSTRACT:
A toggle switch housing has an upwardly open base, a cover bracket secured to the base and a cover for a recessed upper portion of the cover bracket. The cover bracket recessed portion includes an upwardly projecting boss which pivotally receives an actuator, and the upper end of the actuator projects through the cover to define a toggle or bat. The cover may have one or more transparent panels to provide light from one or more miniature lamps mounted in small openings provided for this purpose in the cover bracket in order to provide an indication of circuit condition. The three-part switch housing provides an environmentally sealed space for the switch contacts, and for the electrical connections to the lamp.
