ABSTRACT:
A switch package mounting bracket is provided which securely mounts a switch package to a control console of a domestic appliance. The mounting bracket provides a tripod support which laterally stabilizes the switch package, in addition to preventing inward or outward movement thereof relative to the control console. The switch mounting bracket provides, at one end, a first mounting tab and, at an opposite end, a pair of second mounting tabs. The first mounting tab is generally in-line with the longitudinal center line of the mounting bracket while each of the second mounting tabs are equidistantly spaced outboard of the mounting bracket center line. The second mounting tabs are located inwardly from a terminal edge of the switch package, allowing the overall length of the mounting bracket, and the control console hole necessary to accommodate it, to be reduced. The present invention improves upon known mounting brackets which provide mounting tabs which are relatively outwardly spaced from the ends of the switch package and thereby increase the overall length of the hole required to accommodate the mounting bracket.
