Switch actuating device and method of mounting same

A switch actuating device comprising:

• a base plate having a first aperture therethrough,
• a flexible cover mounted onto said base plate so as to cover over said first aperture in said base plate, said cover having a second aperture therethrough said second aperture aligned so as to be coextensive with said first aperture,
• a switch actuator rigidly mounted to said flexible cover so as to be journalled through said first aperture and said second aperture wherein said switch actuator includes a cap and a base, said cap and said base disposed on opposite sides of said cover, said cap and said base mounted to one another so as to sandwich said cover between sad cap and said base,
• wherein said second aperture is formed as a socket means for mating with a corresponding plug means between said cap and said base for inhibiting rotation of said switch actuator relative to said cover in a plane parallel to said cover,
• wherein said plug means includes a spaced apart pair of shafts and wherein said socket means is a corresponding pair of said second apertures, said pair of shafts sized for snug mating journalled through said pair of said second apertures, wherein said pair of shafts mounted in said pair of said second apertures sandwich said cover therebetween to provide a hinge for rotation of said cap in a rocker motion about said hinge.
