ABSTRACT:
A switch device comprising an operating knob adapted to be selectively operated according to an operational amount and permit an automatic restoring condition and an automatic locking condition, a first selector member interlocking with the operating knob for effecting a switching operation of contacts, a second selector member engageable with the first selector member for selectively effecting the automatic restoring condition and the automatic locking condition of the operating knob, a switch wafer provided in opposed relationship to the first and second selector members, a locking member adapted to restrict movement of the second selector member, and a resilient member for biasing the locking member toward the second selector member. With this structure, the automatic locking condition may be maintained without the use of a solenoid, thereby reducing the power consumption and heat generation.
