Abstract

1427320 Mechanical switches; indication LUCAS ELECTRICAL CO Ltd 24 April 1973 [6 May 1972] 21233/72 Heading H1N The two-part slidable operating member 2a, 2b of a conventional push-button switch has an externally viewable wall 7 comprising an acrylic lens 8, a coloured and lettered polyester film 9, and three white lenses 10 behind which are internal compartments 4, 5, 6 formed by dividing walls 3 and angled surfaces 16, there being apertures 12, 13, 14 in a side wall 11 of part 2b with corresponding apertures 20 in part 2a. The apertures are staggered and arranged so that when the operating member is mounted within a housing 1 having a snap-fit cover la light from an external source can enter through a window 15 in the wall of the housing adjacent side wall 11 and be reflected along a light path formed by one or some of the compartments to illuminate portions of the end wall 7 according to the position of the operating member and the function of the switch.
