Abstract
A switch actuator for an upright vacuum cleaner consists of two elongated rod sections adapted for interconnection by means of a barbed clevis at the end of one of the sections adapted for engaging a receptacle at the end of the other section. One of the sections is maintained within an upper handle portion and the other within a lower handle portion of the vacuum cleaner. As the two handle portions are interconnected, interconnection of the actuator rod sections is automatically effectuated. The actuator rod section maintained in the upper handle portion is also adapted to receive an actuator button which has a connector passing through a slot in the vacuum cleaner handle. The button remains external to the vacuum cleaner handle, while the connector portion thereof extends internally thereof and mates with one of the actuator rod sections.
