The switch is accessible through the base member and once turned on is protected by the sliding member. The sliding member includes at least one spring for biasing the sliding member against the base member and provides for continuous contact of said sliding member with the track of said base member. A top member is inserted over the sliding member and the base member to provide the contact points for the spring thereby biasing the sliding member against the recessed track.
