Abstract

A miniature switch module includes a battery harness attached to a circuit board. A diaphragm or pushbutton type switch and a battery are sandwiched between the retainer and circuit board.

Claims (8)

CLAIMS:
1. A miniature switch and battery module comprising:
a battery harness; and a printed circuit board;
said battery harness and printed circuit board arranged to hold a battery between them; and a momentary switch element in electrical contact with said circuit board and located to be activated by compression against said circuit board, wherein said momentary switch element is located to be in physical contact with one pole of the at least one battery when said battery is placed between said harness and said circuit board and said momentary switch element is located between said battery and said circuit board.
2. A miniature switch and battery module as in claim 1 wherein said momentary switch element comprises a diaphragm type switch element.
3. A miniature switch and battery module as in claim 1 wherein said momentary switch element comprises a push button type switch.
4. A miniature switch and battery module as in claim 1 wherein said momentary switch element comprises a lever arm type switch.
5. A miniature switch and battery module as in claim 1 wherein said momentary switch element comprises a tactile type switch.
6. A miniature switch and battery module as in claim 1 and further including said battery, wherein said battery harness, said printed circuit board, and said momentary switch element are arranged in a stack so that pressure against one of said battery harness, said circuit board and said battery, said momentary switch is activated.
7. A miniature switch and battery module as in claim 1 and further including an electronic device integrated with said module, wherein said electronic device is selected from a light emitting device, a sound emitting device, a timer, a toy, and a game.
8. A method of operating a momentary switch, said method comprising:
stacking a battery harness, a battery, a printed circuit board and said momentary switch;
applying pressure to one or more of said battery harness, battery, printed circuit board, and said momentary switch to operate said momentary switch wherein said momentary switch element is located to be in physical contact with one pole of the at least one battery when said battery is placed between said harness and said circuit board and said momentary switch element is located between said battery and said circuit board.
