Abstract
A push-lock switch unit and assembly therefor. The push-lock switch unit utilizes an expanding spring extended between a housing of the switch unit and a movable member which reciprocally moves in the housing. The spring is biased diagonally in relation to the axial direction of the reciprocal movement so that the pushing force applied to the movable member to be pushed into the housing decreases as the movable member moves into the housing, thus enabling the operator to depress the switch with minimum force.
