Disclosed is an adapter for enabling an actuating switch, which has at least one contact section and an actuating section movably accommodating therein an actuator for actuating the contact section and which is so arranged that a first hollow cylindrical portion constituting a part of the actuating section and axially movably accommodating therein the actuator, can be directly mounted in a first hole having a first predetermined inner diameter and previously formed in a panel, to be mounted through the adapter in a second hole having a second predetermined inner diameter and previously formed in the same or another panel. The adapter comprises a first engaging device for engaging with the actuating section and a second engaging device for engaging with the panel through the second hole.

Adapter for mounting switch onto panel

A switching apparatus assembly structure is disclosed in which a plurality of blocks including actuator blocks, contact blocks, a transformer blocks and direct power-supply adapter blocks are previously prepared as independent units which can be coupled together into a releasably interlocked structure, and two or more of desired ones of the above blocks are assembled to construct any desired one of smaller-size switching apparatus assemblies including a push button switch assembly, a selector switch assembly, a push button switch assembly of lockable type, a push button switch assembly with illumination, a selector switch assembly with illumination and a push button switch assembly of lockable type with illumination.
