- the actuating member can be moved from an initial position into actuating positions, in each of which a function of the switch can be triggered.
- the switch is assigned a blocking means which can be switched between a blocking state for blocking the movement of the actuating member and a release state for releasing the movement of the actuating member.
- the locking device in this switch acts as a switch-on lock.
- the actuating member can be moved into the actuating position. In the actuation position, however, no further effect of a locking means is provided, so that the locking means on this switch only has a single functionality.
- the invention has for its object to provide a switch of the type mentioned with locking means of extended functionality.
- first locking means act on the actuating member in its initial position and second locking means in a first actuating position of the actuating member.
- the switch has an actuating element with three switch positions for switching the two locking means. In the first switching position of the actuating element, the first locking means is in the locked state. In the second switch position, the first locking device is in the release state and the second locking device is in the locked state. Finally, in the third switch position, both locking devices are in the release state.
