Abstract

Electrical switches with label access mechanisms. In one aspect, a rocker switch with a translucent cover presents an elongated aperture, or slot, for insertion or removal of a label. In embodiments, the slot is arranged on an upper, or top surface of the cover, or on a side surface of the cover. In embodiments, more than one slot is provided. A hinge is provided on the cover of a rocker assembly, the hinge enabling the cover to rotate relative to the rocker assembly for access, insertion, and removal of interchangeable labels.

IPC Classes  ?

• H01H 23/02 - Tumbler or rocker switches, i.e. switches characterised by being operated by rocking an operating member in the form of a rocker button Details
• H01H 9/16 - Indicators for switching condition, e.g. "on" or "off"

Abstract

An electrical switch with identifying features. Embodiments include an electrical switch that comprises a rocker that is pivotable between a first position and a second position such that the electrical circuit is energized when the rocker is in the first position and deenergized when the rocker is in the second position, a cover arranged within the rocker such that a front surface of the cover is viewable by a user; an interchangeable label arrangeable a rear surface of the cover, a light pipe arrangeable proximate a rear surface of the interchangeable label, and an illuminating element. In embodiments, the electrical switch may include a tactile switch arranged proximate a rear surface of the light pipe, such that the tactile switch can be activated by an application of rearward pressure to the cover.

Abstract

An electrical switch with identifying features. Embodiments include a toggle assembly for an electrical switch that comprises a switch body including a contact mechanism configured to control an electrical circuit. A movement of the toggle assembly from a first position to a second position is mechanically communicated to the contact mechanism. The toggle assembly can also include a user-operable actuator portion elongated between the switch engagement portion and a front end of the toggle assembly enabling a user to pivot the toggle assembly from the first position to the second position. Embodiments include an interchangeable tile removably coupleable to the toggle. The interchangeable tile can comprise an identifier. Embodiments include an illuminating element and a cover.
