ABSTRACT:
A heat shrinkable tube-like extension for toggle switch operators. In its preferred embodiment is comprises a length of heat shrink tubing with one end coated with a bondable plastic material. The one end is heated and comprised to form a beaver tail end thereafter the open end is inserted over the end of the handle of a toggle switch. Heat is applied to the end over the handle to shrink it into engagement with the handle. In an alternate embodiment, a flat insert is placed in the open end before heat shrinking. It is then heated to flatten the outer end. The extenders may be color coded and also may include printed or hand lettered switch identification on the extension portion.
