ABSTRACT:
A limit switch mechanism is disclosed which may be easily moved along a guide channel and actuated by a carriage movable along the guide channel. The limit switch is constructed of only three or four parts for simple and economical manufacture and assembly. The base of the switch is of resilient insulating material to permit the switch base to be snapped onto the guide channel to be resiliently secured in an adjustable position. A bent wire has actuator, actuating, pivot, and retention portions, with the actuating portion actuating the two contacts between closed and open condition. The retention portion retains the bent wire longitudinally of the pivot axis and acts on the guide channel rather than on the base to permit ready assembly of the bent wire onto the base.
