ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a rocker switch for an electrical device, in particular an electronic watch. As adapted for use with a watch, the rocker switch is preferably disposed in a recess in the watchcase and includes a manually-operable actuator bar having a pair of spaced legs projecting through access holes into the watercase to alternately engage a pair of switch contact means when the actuator bar is rocked. Each leg of the actuator bar preferably includes an offset lip engaging the watchcase from the inside to retain the actuator bar in the recess. Resilient washer means is positioned around the legs between the actuator bar and the bottom of the watchcase recess in sealed contact therewith to provide switch sealing means and return-spring means for the actuator bar.
