Abstract:
An electrical switch assembly comprising:a power source having a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact; an electrically insulative switch housing having a first end and a second end said first end being adjacent to said first electrical contact of said power source, said housing being slideable in a linear fashion in a first linear direction towards said first electrical contact of said power source and a second linear direction opposite said first linear direction; a spring disposed within said switch housing; an electrically conductive plunger having a first contact end and a second contact end, slideably received within said switch housing, said plunger being spring biased by said spring in said first direction wherein said first contact end is in electrical communication with said first electrical contact of said power source; and a switch contact received inside said first end of said switch housing said switch contact having a first contact end and a second contact end, said second contact end in electrical communication with said second electrical contact of said power source; wherein sliding said switch housing in said second linear direction brings said first contact end of said switch contact into electrical communication with said second contact end of said plunger completing an electrical circuit.
