ABSTRACT:
A locking switch apparatus for an electric device inlcudes a trigger button having a pair of spaced flanges cooperating to define a switch-receiving cavity. An electrical switch has a hollow dielectric body with opposed sidewall and bottom surfaces. A lock member has a base and a pair of upstanding posts also forming a switch-receiving cavity. The switch is secured in a stationary position with the locking member and trigger button disposed about the switch for camming action therewith, which includes an unlocked position with the switch de-energized, and an innerlocked position where the switch is constantly energized. By depressing the trigger button, the lock mechanism is free to disengage under the force of a return spring.
