obtained from the prong 17 through the extension 33, the prong 15, the conductors 12
and 13 and switch 11 when in closed position, the prong 16 and the extension 31 to the
contact element 19. The circuit between the prong 17 and the contact element 19 can
be broken by opening the switch 11. The switch element may be a single pole, single
throw switch of any suitable construction which selectively connects or disconnects the
conductors 12 and 13.
A circuit may be completed between the prong 17 and the contact element 19 by
the toggle member 36 which includes two arms 37 dnd 38 joined by an integral
connecting member 39. The toggle member 36 is movable to an open position wherein
the arm 37 is disposed in alignment with the gap 34 between the extensions 31 and 32
and also to a closed position (Figure 3) wherein the arms 37 and 38 contact the
extensions 30 and 33, respectively, and so complete the circuit between the prong 17
and the contact element 19.
The toggle member 36 is mounted on a bracket 39 for movement about a pivot
40. A finger operable member 41 is also mounted on the bracket 39 for movement
about a pivot 42. The finger operable member has a spur 43 and a spring 44 is
mounted on and between the spur 43 and the spur 45 of the connecting member 39 of
