Push-button switch with rocker element - has actuating plunger pivotally mounted on slidable carriage

The rocker switch has its push-button element mounted on one side about a stationary axis, the element being resettable into its original position by a spring force. Underneath the push-button element is mounted a rocker with two end positions, actuated by a plunger between the push-button element and the rocker. The plunger is pivotally mounted on a carriage slidable across the push-button element stroke and at right angles over the rocker. Preferably the carriage is secured to the push-button and slidably guided along its inner side, while affording coupling to a fixed point, concentric to the pivotal point of the rocker. The insert body of the switch and the mounting bracket for the rocker may be provided with securing studs which may be used for guiding the carriage.
