Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a switch showing our new design;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the design of FIG. 1, the only difference being the pushbutton actuator is shown in black to indicate that the color of the pushbutton acutuator contrasts with the color of remaining portions of the design of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the design shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view thereof;
FIG. 5 is a left side elevational view thereof;
FIG. 6 is a right side elevational view thereof;
FIG. 7 is a top plan view thereof;
FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view thereof;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the design of FIG. 1, the only difference being the elimination of the airgap switch actuator at the bottom of the actuator mounting frame;
FIG. 10 is a front elevational view thereof; and,
FIG. 11 is a bottom plan view thereof, the remaining views of the third embodiment being identical to those of the second embodiment.
The broken line showing of the environment is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
