Abstract
The present invention is to provide a resilient switch mounted in a housing and comprising a flexible arm including a first seat formed on one end of the flexible arm and a second seat formed on the other end of the flexible arm. After fastening the second seat on a first inner surface of the housing, the pressing member projects out of the housing through an opening on the first inner surface of the housing. A first projection is formed on a second surface of the flexible arm opposite the pressing member and is disposed proximate the second seat. A portion of the first projection opposite the flexible arm is extended to be proximate a second inner surface of the housing opposite the first inner surface of the housing. By utilizing this resilient switch, the first seat moves toward the second inner surface of the housing when a pressing force is exerted upon the pressing member. A portion of the flexible arm from the first projection to the first seat is resiliently deflected with a resilient bouncing force stored therein. Thus, the resilient bouncing force can push the pressing member out of the housing again in response to removing the pressing force exerted upon the pressing member.
