摘要： An electrical switch including an insulative casing having fixed contacts and a plunger element movable within the casing having contacts for slideably engaging the fixed contacts so as to provide a plurality of switching positions. The plunger element has a plurality of oppositely disposed recesses in the sidewalls thereof and includes a spring-like portion positioned in each recess and molded integrally with the plunger element. Each spring-like portion has two independently acting spring elements projecting divergently outward from a back wall of the recess toward front wall portions thereof so as to outwardly bias the sliding contact positioned within each recess. An embodiment is also described in which the sliding contact is either plated or vacuum deposited onto an alternative spring configuration.

摘要： A keyboard switch construction in which contacting surfaces in spaced apposition on resilient, flexible, electrically non-conductive laminae are prevented from making contact in the absence of outside pressure by ribs formed in the material and substantially surrounding the conducting surface on one lamina. The switch construction is used in a control panel arrangement in which pilot and operative components are separately mounted and are associated by printed circuitry carried on a flexible insulating strip which may be physically continuous or may be electrically continuous using a multi-contact connector to interconnect two physically separate halves of the sheet.

摘要： A self-illuminating pushbutton having a light reflective surface carried by a supporting platform slidably moveable within a casing toward and away from a character plate mounted adjacent an aperture at one end of the casing. An elongated resilient element integrally molded at each of two diagonally opposed corners of the supporting platform engages the inner walls of the casing so as to bias the supporting platform and light reflective surface away from the character plate, thereby making the character normally appear non-luminous.
