Circuit breaker with framed finger area

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switch assembly including a housing.SOLUTION: An escutcheon portion on the front surface of the housing has a raised platform. A transition ramp extends from the platform to a rest area and a finger area is adjacent to the rest area. A perimeter frame encloses the finger area so that the escutcheon portion defines opposing notches aligned with the rest area. A handle has a hub with an axial bore so that a pivot pin inserted through the axial bore rotatably couples the handle to the housing. A finger grip extends from the hub. The finger grip has a surface for selectively abutting against the rest area and a textured portion for manual actuation when a finger is inserted into the finger area.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A
