Abstract

A lockable electrical switch assembly 10 comprises an insulated housing 12 containing electrical contacts, an actuator 14 for transferring a manual operating force to close the contacts, and a locking assembly physically engaging the actuator within the housing to automatically lock it when in a predetermined position. The actuator is mounted within the housing and at least part of the locking assembly is remotely operable from the exterior of the housing to unlock the actuator. The locking assembly may comprise an abutment member 16 that is resiliently urged into engagement with a first bearing surface 14a of the actuator to lock it, and a locking detent 18 that is resiliently urged into engagement with a locking surface 17b of the abutment member. The abutment member and detent may be confined to move along perpendicular linear pathways, and may be resiliently urged by coil springs mounted between them and the housing. At least part of the locking detent may be formed of a ferromagnetic material susceptible to a magnetic force. A proximity device for remotely unlocking the switch assembly may be a magnetic key M or use RFID technology, biometric sensors, short range radio technology, or magnetic/electric coupled transponder systems.
