Abstract:
A lockable rocker switch includes a fixed part, a rotatable part rotating between a first and a second rotation position, a magnetically actuatable locking component movable between a locking position so as to prevent rotation of rotatable part and a release position, so that rotatable part may rotate. The lockable rocker switch further includes a control component movable onto the rotatable part between a control position, for causing a magnetic action urging the locking component towards the release position, and a rest position, stopping the magnetic action.
