Claim 23:
24. A power transfer switch for transferring a load from a connected source to a destination source, comprising:
an abutment member mounted to pivot in a direction of travel between two positions;
said abutment member configured such that during a pivoting motion in said direction, said abutment member acts on and applies force first to a first switch beginning at a first point in the travel of the abutment member, and later to a second switch beginning at a second point in the travel of the abutment ‘member such that said travel between said two positions acts to toggle said first and second switches non-simultaneously;
a latch for selectively engaging said abutment member to restrain said abutment member from moving; and
a bias member selectively applying force on said abutment member in said direction, and wherein engagement of said latch on said abutment member prevents said bias member from causing said abutment member to travel between said two positions, and release of said latch from said abutment member allows said bias member to cause said abutment member to travel between said two positions.
