ABSTRACT:
A switch assembly for activation by a shaft or hinge pin of a hinge includes a cam member connected for rotation along with the shaft and an actuating band operably connected to the cam member. The actuating band includes an engagement portion for contact with a first portion of a lever upon rotational movement of the shaft of the hinge and the cam member. The lever is movable to enable a second portion of the lever to contact an electrical switch to in turn make or break contact of a desired electrical circuit formed by the electrical switch. A sealing insert is included to provide a substantially waterproof seal between the hinge shaft and the switch assembly.
