Patent ID: 7488914

Claim:
A method of controlling a circuit comprising the steps of: a) mounting a contact to a switch actuator for movement back and forth through a switch housing interior by i) providing a rivet and passing said rivet through an opening in a generally planar mounting support such that an enlarged end of the rivet is exposed on one side of the generally planar mounting support and ii) enlarging an opposite end of the rivet to secure said rivet to the mounting support; b) positioning a pair of electrically conductive spaced apart terminals for selectively engaging the exposed ends of the rivet within the housing, wherein one terminal has a first rivet engaging surface on one side of the planar mounting support and a second terminal spaced from the one terminal has a second rivet engaging surface on an opposite side of the planar support; and c) moving the rivet along a travel path to selectively bridge a gap between the first and second rivet engaging surfaces of the spaced apart terminals.
