Abstract Disclosed is a lever switch for switching electric circuits. The switch has a driving lever rotatably secured to a switch frame which accomodates a slider having movable contacts and a click container accomodating a click member. The slider has a driving portion adapted for engagement with a driving projection formed on the driving lever, so that the slider may be driven to bring the movable contacts housed therein into and out of contact with fixed contacts, thereby to switch the electric circuits. The click member is adapted for engagement with a cam portion of the driving lever to allow the clicking motion of the latter. The click container is fixed to the switch frame in such a manner that grooves formed at the sides thereof receive corresponding tongues formed on the switch frame, so that it is unnecessary to spread the walls of the frame away from each other during the insertion of the click container, thereby to facilitate the assembling.
A lever switch comprising: (a) a frame having oppositely facing positioning tongues formed in a rear portion thereof; (b) a slider within said frame, said slider having a driving part; (c) a click container within said frame, said container having a click member therein; (d) a driving lever pivotally secured to said frame, said lever having a driving projection adapted for engagement with said driving part of said slider and a cam portion adapted for engagement with said click member; (e) said click container having grooves formed therein, said grooves corresponding to said tongues whereby said click container may be attached to said frame by inserting said tongues into said grooves.
