Claim:
1. A magnetic switch assembly comprising: a base presenting a lower surface and an opposed upper surface, said base having first and second laterally spaced apart electrodes with an indentation between said electrodes and extending below the upper surface of the base; a cover secured to said base and extending upwardly therefrom, said base and cover cooperatively presenting a housing, said cover having a dielectric tubular section extending upwardly from said base, and an electrically conductive top plate surmounting said tubular section; and a magnetic operating assembly including an electrically conductive component within said housing and shiftable between a first switch position wherein said component is in simultaneous electrical contact with said first and second electrodes, and a second shift position where said component is out of said simultaneous contact, said operating assembly serving to create a magnetic field condition to shift said component to said first switch position when said switch is at one location, and to create a different magnetic field condition to shift said component to said second switch position when said switch is at another location.
