A toggle-type switch for a portable communications device includes a circuit board to be positioned within a cavity of a portable communications device. In one instance, the circuit board includes a first flank, a second flank disposed opposite the first flank, and a central rib disposed between the first and the second flanks. The circuit board has a non-planar shape, such that the first flank and the second flank are each offset relative to the central rib. The toggle-type switch includes a first electrical contact element coupled to the first flank, a second electrical contact element coupled to the second flank, and a projecting lever located above the central rib and between the first flank and the second flank. The projecting lever has a first leg to engage the first electrical contact element and a second leg to engage the second electrical contact element.

A rocker switch device is provided in which a pair of shaft portions are projectingly provided on mutually opposing faces of extremity portions of a pair of side wall parts of a switch case, the pair of shaft portions being aligned on the same axis as each other, a bearing hole is formed in an operating knob so as to extend therethrough, the pair of shaft portions being rotatably fitted into the bearing hole, a projecting portion is provided on an outside face of the pair of side wall parts, the projecting portion being pressed into contact with the support body to thus prevent rattling of the switch case, and a support pin is fitted into the bearing hole, opposite ends of the support pin abutting against extremities of the pair of shaft portions respectively. Such arrangement prevents switch malfunctioning, and restrains deformation of the side wall parts.

A clip member that attaches to the actuator of a flip switch timer for a toggle switch to allow the flip switch timer to actuate a decorator switch between on and off positions. The clip member may include a connector or fastener including a pair of arms having clips for engaging a slot on the actuator. A lever arm on the switch engages the raised end of a decorator switch when the actuator, and thus the clip member, are moved linearly within the flip switch timer.

A rocker switch device includes an operation knob with a close bottom cylindrical shape configured to be operated, a body including a contact point configured such that current is interruptible by the operation knob and a support portion that projects toward an inside of the operation knob and supports the operation knob in a manner allowing for rocking, and a projection portion that projects from a portion of a surface of the support portion of the body that opposes the operation knob or a portion of a surface of the operation knob that opposes the body toward an opposing member.
