ABSTRACT:
An electric switch housing comprises a generally downwardly open rectangular dielectric casing which has laterally spaced side walls and opposed end walls integrally connected at their adjacent vertical edges to form four corners. The casing has a top wall, which includes a raised center rib portion having laterally spaced sockets, and is integrally joined with the top edges of the side and end walls. The casing defines an integrally formed upwardly open cavity for receiving an actuator. The actuator has upper shoulder portions received in the laterally spaced sockets, and is pivotally received in the casing. A generally upwardly open rectangular dielectric base is received in the downwardly open casing, defining a switch cavity containing at least two terminals and at least one movable switch contact in the base. A lamp module is provided in the casing and is supported between the base and the casing. The lamp module has at least one clearance opening for receiving the pivotally movable actuator, and defines at least one lamp opening for receiving an electric lamp.
