Abstract
A method of assembling a switch device with a means for supporting it. The supporting means includes at least one face having a set of bosses thereon, and each boss has a free end and a ledge intermediate the free end and the at least one face. The switch device has an actuating lever with a pair of generally opposite trunnions thereon, and a set of terminals of the switch device each have a deformed end section. In practicing this method, the opposite trunnions of the actuating lever are seated on the ledges of at least some of the bosses. The terminals are associated in preselected positions therefor on a supporting means, and the deformed end sections of the terminals are disposed in overlaying spaced apart relation with at least the ledges on the at least some bosses thereby to capture the opposite trunnions between the at least some bosses and the terminals, respectively.
