Abstract

A safety interlock for an overhead projector utilizes only one electrical switch to provide the functions of both a conventional power switch and a safety interlock switch. In an operational mode, the switch responds to a cam surface for actuation. In a safety interlock mode, the switch is allowed to rotate in response to forces generated by the cam surface rather than being actuated.
