  • Patent number: 5380972
    Abstract: A rocker switch includes at least one switch device (105) actuable by a first side (110) of a first end (106) of a spring (107). The spring (107) has a second end (108) opposing the first end (106). First (103) and opposing second (103') support members are positioned on a second side (112) at the ends (106, 108) of the spring (107). A rocker mechanism (101), which has a top portion (121), is pivotable about an axis (109). The rocker mechanism (101) is also coupled to the spring (107) proximate a center position (111). The rocker mechanism (101) is positioned in a nominal position causing contact between the second side (112) of the first end (106) of the spring (107) and the first (103) support member, and causing another contact between the second side (112) of the second end (108) of the spring (107) and the second (103') support member. This positioning centers the rocker mechanism (101).
