Default Looking for switch

I am looking for a switch that I saw on some large fans in a manufacturing facility. They are toggle switches that allow the attachment of a pull chain. Pull once-on, pull again-off. They allow for very easy pulling with the chain perpendicular to the switch body. I have tried standard pull chain switches but have found that they do not work well at this angle. Due to space limitations the switch must be mounted this way. If someone can tell me where I can find these switches or if you have used a standard type pull switch with a very light action at 90 deg. I would appreciate the info.

I think what you are looking for is a Levolier switch by McGill.
