Button Operated Patents (Class D13/171)
  • Power switch
    Patent number: 9136839
    Abstract: A switch assembly includes a switch cover and a switch base. The switch cover fixedly couples to the switch base with engagement protrusions integrally defined in the switch cover and corresponding apertures defined within the switch base without fasteners or requiring tools. From a disassembled configuration, the cover couples to the switch base by aligning cover protrusions with corresponding base apertures, pressing the cover against the base, sliding the cover in a first engagement direction, and locking the cover protrusions into the apertures by applying a threshold level of engagement force in an engagement direction. From an assembled configuration, the cover de-couples from the switch base by applying a threshold level of disengagement force in disengagement direction oppositely oriented with respect to the engagement direction, thereby unlocking the cover protrusions from the base apertures.
