Abstract
A line switch assembly for a telephone switch has a unitary switch having a base within which are cantilevered contacts and a cap over the base, the cap having cam formations which actuate the contacts on reciprocal movement of the cap. An actuating member rests on the cap and has an extension with a rib which extends up into a recess in the top housing of the telephone set, the recess being one which accepts one of the handset transducers. Pressure on the rib pivots the actuating member and depresses the cap. The switch is a preassembled unit and is normally mounted on a circuit board carrying other components. A reduced number of components and quicker and easier assembly give a relatively high cost reduction.
