A push button assembly having a halo which interfaces with a face plate opening, a halo adapter which interfaces the halo and an electrical switch, and a switch actuator carried by the halo and halo adapter which cooperatively nest to define an actuator housing within which the actuator is movable between first and second axial limits established by the halo and halo adapter, respectively. In a preferred embodiment, the halo also carries a push button identification plate within a single face plate opening.

Push button assembly having an actuator subassembly fixed to the

A push button electrical switch assembly including an actuator biased for resilient reciprocation between predetermined axial limits within a housing. A cover on the housing includes a push button movable between predetermined axial limits. The push button contacts and is biased by the actuator to one of its predetermined axial limits. First electrical contacts are fixed to the housing, and second electrical contacts are carried by the actuator. The second electrical contacts, when urged to a contact-engaging position with the first electrical contacts, pivot against the same bias which biases the actuator, to provide a contact-wiping engagement with the first electrical contacts.
