ABSTRACT:
A slide switch designed for snap action operation thereof having a pivoted rocker arm engaging flexible elements of the insulated slide member of the switch. These flexible elements are formed of material, preferably such as moldable plastic, which has the inherent elastical power of recovering its initially produced durable shape when a deforming force or pressure causing it to be temporarily deformed is removed. The insulated slide member is provided with upwardly projecting lugs which embrace therebetween the pivoted lever arm by which they are outwardly deflected to store up energy for the snap action of the switch. While the free end of the pivoted lever arm is preferably bifurcated to provide it with flexible extremities which are flexed inwardly simultaneously as the slide lugs are outwardly deflected whereby to augment the snap actuating energy stored up by the flexed lugs of the slide member, the lever arm may be formed as a solid member so that the requisite energy is obtained solely by the flexure of the slide lugs.
