ABSTRACT:
An electrical switch has at least two fixed contacts and a moving contact lever movable between an ON position making contact with one of the fixed contacts and an OFF position breaking contact with one of the fixed contacts. A rocker pivots in opposite directions between a first position, moving the contact lever into the ON position and a second position, moving the contact lever into the OFF position. A locking member associated with the rocker automatically locks the rocker in each of the first and second positions. The locking member is releasable to unlock the rocker upon manual movement of the locking member in a direction different from directions of movement of the rocker.
