Switch assembly for an automotive power window

A switch assembly for an automotive power window comprising:

• a housing,
• an actuator having spaced-apart ends, said actuator being pivotally mounted to said housing about a transverse axis extending across an intermediate position between the ends of the actuator, said actuator having a first actuator surface extending from said axis to one end of said actuator and a second actuator surface extending from said axis to the other end of said actuator,
• said actuator being pivotal in a first direction from a rest position to a first position upon depression of said first actuator surface and pivotal in an opposite direction from said rest position to a second position upon depression of said second actuator surface,
• wherein of said first and second actuator surfaces, only said second actuator surface is recessed within said housing in an amount sufficient to prevent actuation of said actuator to said second position by a sphere having a radius greater than 15 millimeters when applied with less than a predefined force.
