ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a multiple switch assembly including first and second push-push switches positioned side by side. The operating member of the first switch carries a shoulder which cooperates with a peg on the second switch operating member so as to move the second switch along with the first switch when the first switch is moved from a first to a second position. Additionally the second switch carries a resilient strip which during movement of the second switch beyond its second position, is deflected towards and engages the first switch operating member. The resultant movement on the first switch operating member releases it from its detent such that by pushing said second operating member, said first and second switches are returned to their respective first positions. The resilient member acts as an effective interlock element to assist in the retention of the operating members in the depressed position and the automatic return of both operating members to the first position.
