ABSTRACT:
Complexity and unreliability in a mounting structure for a switch (40) used to sense the position of another object is avoided in a switch and mounting structure that includes a switch body (46) with a movable switch plunger (48) extending from one end (50) of the body (46). The body (46) has an outwardly opening groove (52) and a mounting bracket (44) is adapted to be secured to a desired object (70). The mounting bracket (42) has a base section (98) for mounting purposes and two spaced legs (100,102) extending therefrom. A relatively large hole (76) is in one of the legs (102) and sized to receive the switch body (46) while a relatively small hole (78) is in the other of the legs (100) and sized to slidably receive the plunger (48). A resilient lock ring (44) is located in the groove (52) and in abutment with one of the legs (102) to hold the end (50) in firm abutment with the other of the legs (100) thereby securely mounting the switch body (46).
