Abstract

A switch is disclosed including an operating rocker button and at least one contact element which can be actuated by a radial deflection of the operating rocker button. The contact element can be actuated directly by the operating rocker button, or by the operating rocker button by a transmission element. As such, a locking function is provided via a projection on the transmission element or the operating rocker button, which co-operates with an elastic element.
