ABSTRACT:
An improved push button assembly including means for facilitating the mounting of the push button assembly to a mounting panel through an opening therein and from the front side thereof. The mounting means is comprised of first and second substantially flat resilient members. Each member has one end thereof fixed to respective opposite sides of the push button housing and another end thereof extending toward the front of the push button and biased away from the plane of the respective adjacent side of the housing. Each of the first and second members has a plurality of fingers forming the other end, wherein the plurality of fingers include a pair of end fingers and additional fingers intermediate the end fingers. The end fingers are bent to apply pressure to the rear of the mounting panel when the push button is fully inserted through the opening in the mounting panel, and the additional fingers are of varying length with respect to one another such that at least one of the additional fingers has its outermost edge abutting against the rear of the mounting panel when the push button is fully inserted through the opening in the mounting panel to lock the push button to the mounting panel, whereby the varying length of the additional fingers enables the push button to be mounted to mounting panels of varying thickness.
