Abstract
In a tumbler switch, a lever is supported by a bearing in a cylinder in which space is limited. The load on the bearing is to be evenly distributed over portions of walls of the cylinder. The bearing which is used is a ball bearing, the direction of rotation of which is limited to one axis. The bearing includes a ball that has spaced flat end surfaces located in parallel planes. This type of toggle bearing is especially useful when employed in a switch housing.
