Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1087414A1] An electric push button switch particularly for an amusement or gaming machine has a base part (3) with a microswitch (15) and a lamp holder (16) which fits into the bottom of a threaded tube (4) with an enlarged head (5, 6) which is mounted on the outer surface of a machine panel (1). A push button (7) fits within the head (5, 6) and acts on the switch (15) via a slider (8) within the tube (4). The base part (3) fits detachably within the end of the tube (4) by engagement of projections (24) on the base part (3) with holes (25) in the tube (4). The projections (24) are on the end of springy circumferentially extending arms (23) so that the projections can readily snap fit into and pull axially out of the holes (25) whilst ensuring precise circumferential location required to ensure correct operation of the switch (15) by the slider (8). <IMAGE>
