Squeeze switch particularly adapted for use with stuffed toys

摘要

The invention relates to a squeeze switch assembly or switch housing which is particularly adapted for inclusion in a stuffed toy that has some type of electrical mechanism within it. A flat layer of resilient material is attached on one surface to a switch plate and on the other surface to a cover plate. The cover plate and the layer of resilient material have an aperture passing through them so that the apertures are coaxial. The cover plate is attached to and seals a container which contains a switch to and optionally the electrical mechanism. A plunger passes through the apertures in the layer of resilient material and the cover plate and slides when the switch plate is moved toward the cover plate so that the sliding action of the plunger actuates the switch thereby energizing the electrical mechanism.
