Slide and rocker switch assemblies having double cantilevered contactor

A miniature rocker switch comprising a box-like housing comprising a base having an upper surface and a lower surface and upwardly extending walls about the perimeter of said base and a plurality of transversely extending walls forming chambers therein, said base having a plurality of apertures communicating with the upper and lower surfaces of the base at a respective chamber, a plurality of oppositely disposed terminals, each terminal embedded in said base and having a longitudinal portion and at end thereof a dome-shaped terminal head disposed over one of said apertures and another end of the terminal extending outwardly of said housing to form a second portion, a plurality of actuators each having an upward extension, a longitudinal passage at the undersurface therein extending through the actuator, transverse projections each having an arcuate portion extending from a respective side of said actuator, each of said actuators disposed in one of said chambers with the arcuate portion of each of said transverse projections resting upon a transversely extending wall thereof for slideable engagement therewith, a double cantilevered arm comprising a reversely bent first portion integral with a downwardly extending arcuate portion, said reversely bent first portion disposed in said passage to fixedly secure the arm within a respective actuator, and a switch cover having a plurality of apertures for receiving upward extensions therein and a plurality of transverse walls each having a cut-away portion for securing said transverse projections, said transverse projections received in said cut-away portions such that rotation of said actuator produces slideable engagement of said arcuate portions with the respective transversly extending walls to effect slideable engagement and disengagement of said downwardly extending arcuate portion with said oppositely disposed dome-shaped terminal heads.
