Abstract

A switch assembly (108) includes a housing (202), a switch (204), a lock mechanism (206), and an input element (208). The switch (204) is disposed within the housing (202) and configured to translate, along a first axis (212), between a first switch position and a second switch position. The lock mechanism (206) is disposed within the housing (202) and configured to translate, along a second axis (216) that is parallel to the first axis (212), between an unlock position and a lock position. The input element (208) is coupled to the switch (204) and the lock mechanism (206) and is movable relative to the housing (202). The input element (208) is adapted to receive an input force and is configured, upon receipt thereof to selectively and simultaneously move the switch (204) and the lock mechanism (206) between the first and second switch positions and the unlock and lock positions, respectively.
