ABSTRACT:
A latching attachment for rocker switches is disclosed which is manually shiftable to selectively allow depression of only one or the other end of the rocker button. The attachment includes an elongated slider member disposed alongside the rocker button and slidable transversely of the pivotal axis. At the distal ends of the attachment there are extended lower interference ear portions which, upon shifting of the attachment, alternately protrude below, and into the path of motion of, a respective end of the rocker button to prevent depression thereof.
