ABSTRACT:
A mechanism is provided for actuating a switch that transmits motion from a first component, which moves along a first path, to a system that is attached to the mechanism. The mechanism includes a second component that moves transverse to the first path and a third component having a switch actuating portion, wherein movement of the first component causes the third component to actuate the switch using motion that is generally along the first path.
