Connecting flexible switch

In a flexible switch for mounting on an underlying frame, including a plurality of flexible plastic layers, one said layer carrying on one surface a first contact portion and a first conductive lead, means for spacing said contact-carrying layer from a facing surface carrying a second contact portion aligned with said first portion, a flexible tail integral with one said flexible layer and bent downward from said layer at a bend region spaced inward from the edge of said layer, and an insert means for occupying at least a portion of the zone from which said tail is bent downward, said tail carrying on one surface a second conductive lead for electrically connecting said first conductive lead to external circuitry, said second conductive lead being integral with a conductive lead on one said layer, the improvement wherein the flexible layer with which said flexible tail is integral is an upper layer, said tail thereby emanating from above one or more lower layers of said switch and said tail being bent downward through slots in said lower layers.
