ABSTRACT:
A small toggle lever switch with positive position feel is disclosed. A toggle lever is pivotally mounted to a housing and has a shaft extending thereinto. Upper and lower plungers are slidably disposed on the shaft and are biased apart by a compression spring encircling the shaft. The lower plunger is biased downwardly into engagement with a teeter-totter type contactor for actuation thereof. The upper plunger is biased upwardly into engagement with a stationary block having a clearance aperture through which the shaft extends. The block has grooved detents which variously receive a complemental apex of the upper plunger to afford indexing as the toggle lever is pivoted.
