Abstract
A switch actuating assembly having an attachable trigger accommodates the implementation of numerous trigger designs and configurations with a single switch assembly. The slide actuator has a head and neck portion which is adapted for locking and mating receipt by a pair of deflectable legs in U-shaped configuration positioned in spaced apart relationship from a pair of flanges. The head of the actuator is engaged in the space between the flanges and the legs, while lips on both the legs and the neck portion provide further interlocking engagement. The positioning of the head within a space between the flange and legs prevents axial movement of the actuator with respect to the trigger assembly, while the interengagement of the lips prevents any vertical movement between the two.
