ABSTRACT:
A plastic switch actuator is fitted with a spring so as to impart sliding and rocking motion to a movable contact by virtue of direct engagement between spring and element. The actuator may be slidably or pivotally supported in the switch case and has a depending integral portion received in an opening of the element but it is the spring which keeps the element in contact with the fixed switch contacts. Other embodiments provide for illuminating the rocker in the miniature switch through a resistor also provided in the rocker itself, and switched on and off by movement of the rocker.
