Combined Fan & Light Switch

Moss5

In 1911, Joseph O. Eaton, brother-in-law Henning O. Taube and Viggo V. Torbensen, incorporated the Torbensen Gear and Axle Co. in Bloomfield, New Jersey. With financial backing from Torbensen's mother, the company was set to manufacture Torbensen's patented internal-gear truck axle.

In my search for screw less switches, I never found Eaton.

Glad for your daughter that you got it sorted.

I'm curious. If it is a single gang switch, how is the power provided to the fan for the over run.

Presumably the fan has a permanent or switched power connection somewhere.

In our 2004 built house, the bathroom and shower rooms have light switches (outside the rooms) with fan switches mounted high above the light switch. That allows us to have the light only or the light plus fan plus overrun.

As is common with all over run types (i.e. delay OFF) the fan has to have a separate power supply because otherwise as soon as the switch is tuned off, the fan loses power and can no loner run.

Interesting, thanks. It isn't a screwless switch but a screwless faceplate - even though it isn't really screwless, the screws are hidden behind a clip-on cover.
