ABSTRACT:
A remotely controlled switch/receptacle assembly has a housing for providing a support which has at least a first section and a second section. A remote actuator has at least one moveable section. A nonlinear motion switch is located in the first section of the housing and has a moveable actuator for making and breaking an electrical connection between at least first and second electrical contacts. A cable connects the moveable section of the remote actuator to the moveable actuator in the nonlinear motion switch. An electrical receptacle is located in the second section of the housing, the receptacle having at least a first electrical prong which has a first end connected to the first electrical contact in the nonlinear motion switch. When the moveable section of the remote actuator is moved, the moveable actuator of the nonlinear motion switch changes from at least one switch position to another switch position, thereby producing a connection or a disconnection between the first and second contacts of the nonlinear motion switch.
