ABSTRACT:
A double-throw rocker switch having a selectively shiftable lockout member which when shifted to one lateral position allows depression of only one end of the rocker button and when shifted to the opposite lateral position allows depression of only the other end of the rocker button. This lockout member is secured to the center of a mounting shaft having pushbuttons at its ends and this shaft is mounted to the switch housing for limited lateral sliding movement sufficient to shift the lockout member, this shaft serving also as a pivot pin for the rocker button and the contact actuator. This selective lockout may be used in a tool reversing application where plugging of the motor could be hazardous.
