Abstract
A rocker switch assembly features a rocker switching mechanism and a rocker base housing. The rocker switching mechanism has a switch cover and rocker configured to rock between rocking positions in response to rocking switch forces applied thereon, and provide a rocking switch actuator force. The rocker base housing has a piezo buzzer and rocker switch circuitry, e.g., including contacts/terminals. The piezo buzzer is configured to respond to the rocking switch actuator force, and provide signaling from the piezo buzzer to rocker switch circuitry, based upon the rocking switch actuator force applied.
Claims10
A rocker switch assembly comprising:
- a rocker switching mechanism having an actuator assembly with a switch cover and a rocker, the switch cover and the rocker being configured to rock between ON and OFF rocking positions in response to rocking switch forces applied thereon, and provide a rocking switch actuator force when the switch cover and the rocker is rocked into an ON rocking position, but not when the switch cover and the rocker rocks is rocked into an OFF rocking position;
- a circuitry housing having a rocker switch circuitry with terminals/contacts arranged therein, the rocker switch circuitry configured to respond to the rocking switch actuator force applied on the rocker switch circuitry by the actuator assembly, and provide rocker switch circuitry voltage signaling on the terminals/contacts;
- and
- a piezo buzzer housing having a piezo buzzer arranged therein with wiring coupled to the terminal/contacts of the rocker switch circuitry, the piezo buzzer configured to respond to the rocker switch circuitry voltage signaling, and provide piezo buzzer signaling, based upon the rocker switch circuitry voltage signaling received.
