Abstract:
The present invention provides a switch that can prevent a locking member from being lost, that allows easy operations of handle locking and unlocking, and that allows more secure handle locking. A switch of the present invention includes a fixed contact point, a moving contact point capable of making contact with the fixed contact point, a handle to move the moving contact point, and a locking lever to lock the handle. The handle is equipped integrally with an overhang portion. The overhang portion is formed with a notched portion. The locking lever is equipped integrally with a projecting portion. The locking lever is pressed upwardly by a spring. When the handle is at a first position, an operation of the handle is locked by engaging the projecting portion to the notched portion. When the handle is at a second position opposite to the first position, an operation of the handle is allowed by letting the projecting portion abut on a lower surface of the overhang portion.
