ABSTRACT:
A switch extender for electrical switches having a front plate slidably coupled to a back plate which in turn is attached to a wall-mounted switch plate. The back plate includes a knock-out portion which allows use of the invention with both toggle switches and rocker switches. A pair of cylindrical bars are positioned within an opening in the front plate. A toggle switch fits within a slot between the bars, and the corners of a rocker switch fit within slots outside of the bars on the front plate. Sliding the front plate relative to the back plate actuates the switch.
