Abstract
An electrical switch construction having a one-piece substantially U-shaped flexible member having a cross member and a pair of legs extending from the cross member and defining pivot points that pivotally mount pivot members to the construction. The legs respectively have cam followers intermediate the pivot points thereof and the cross member thereof. A plunger is axially movable between the legs and has a cam that serially engages the cam followers to serially flex the legs and thereby move the pivot points thereof to cause the pivot members to serially pivot as the plunger is axially moved in one direction.
