FIG. 2 is the same isometric view of the switch depicted in FIG. 1 as seen extending through a central opening of a wall plate cover, the wall plate cover being shown in environmental lines;

FIG. 3 is a front side plan view of the switch depicted in FIG. 1 (Note: no back side plan view is shown because nothing is claimed about that side of the invention);
