ABSTRACT:
A stackable multi-directional indicator light for displaying the ON/OFF status of a miniature switch such as a limit or stackable switch. The miniature switch includes a switch mechanism for making and breaking an electrical circuit, an actuator for actuating the switch, and a wiring cable for providing the electrical circuit. The multi-directional indicator light includes an indicator light source connected to the switch mechanism, and a cover/lens for displaying light emitted from the indicator light when the switch is in the ON state. The indicator light is mounted in the cover/lens which is made from a light transmissive material. The switch mechanism, indicator light source, and cover/lens are mounted on a base made from a material of suitable strength to provide support and protection. The base and cover/lens provide physical protection for the indicator light and the switch mechanism. The base also includes a passage for retaining the actuator and permitting it to communicate with the switch mechanism.
