Abstract
A mechanism for manually controlling an electric switching member includes a control button, a guide for guiding the movement of a moving element of the switching member, and a link which moves longitudinally in the direction of travel of the control button and laterally into an abutting position which prevents longitudinal movement of the link. The mechanism further includes an element secured to the control button and configured to contact the link to cause the longitudinal movement of the link, a first spring configured to push the control button into a pulled-out position, a second return spring configured to push the link out of the abutting position, and a cylindrical bushing in which the control button slides.
