Adjustable add-on apparatuses for a switch and associated methods

Abstract

Adjustable add-on apparatuses for switches and associated methods are provided. In some embodiments, a float can actuate a first arm of the apparatus in response to a fluid level. The first arm can then actuate a second arm of the apparatus and, in turn, the second arm can open or close a switch, such as a micro switch. In some embodiments, the switch can be opened or closed through a lever and plunger assembly. Further, in some embodiments, apparatus can include a biasing means to bias the second arm into a first or second position without allowing it to rest in between the positions. Such apparatuses can include a micro switch or be retrofit to one. Methods of opening and closing a micro switch are also provided.
