Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, configuration and ornamentation of the switch for an electronic device as shown in the drawings; the switch for an electronic device presents a symmetrical generally box-like configuration with generally flat and generally parallel front and rear surfaces, the front surface presents a central generally circular open area therein; the front surface presents a left side edge which has a central straight edge portion with small generally semi-circular depressions at opposite ends thereof which merge into slightly curved edge portions which in turn merge into straight edge portions which are generally parallel to the central straight edge portion; the upper and lower edges of the front surface present small generally semi-circular depressions therein; the switch for an electronic device presents two pair of upper and lower mirror image generally wedge-shaped cut-out areas which merge into the generally circular open area; the open area presents a pair of opposed and recessed flat inwardly extending annular segments with an open area above each annular segment, the annular segments extending between the cut-out areas forming each pair of the upper and lower generally wedge-shaped cut-out areas; the left side surface presents a central narrow annular segment beneath an open area behind the front surface of the switch for an electronic device; opposite ends of the annular segment merge into small block-like areas; the block-like areas merge into generally identical and angled left side upper and lower surface areas each having a generally rectangular opening therein with a member having an angled front surface situated within the openings; the upper and lower right front corners of the switch for an electronic device have slightly curved surfaces which merge into stepped rear corner sections having flat front surfaces with circular areas thereon, the flat front surfaces being recessed and generally parallel to the front surface of the switch for an electronic device; the rear surface of the switch for an electronic device has a plurality of randomly positioned and varied sizes of circular areas thereon; one series of the circular areas are spaced apart, are generally identical in size, and are so positioned as to generally follow the curvature of the annular segment of the left side surface of the switch for an electronic device; the top, bottom and right side surfaces of the switch for an electronic device have small generally identical spaced apart outwardly extending step-like elements adjacent the rear surface of the switch for an electronic device. Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a front view of the design of a switch for an electronic device;Fig. 2 is a rear view thereof;Fig. 3 is a left side view thereof;Fig. 4 is a right side view thereof;Fig. 5 is a top plan view thereof;Fig. 6 is a front perspective view thereof; andFig. 7 is an enlarged sectional view thereof taken along line A-A of Fig. 1 omitting an internal mechanism.The stippled lines in the drawings do not form part of the design.Diagrams of the design are included.
