Claim Text:
1. A latching hybrid switch comprising a spring driven latching device for maintaining an engaged state of at least one first contact with one of single throw and dual throw contact of at least one springy element pole, said latching device extended between said at least one pole and one of a base and a body of said hybrid switch comprising a lock link, a bar with indentation path for guiding said lock link and a receptacle for switching over the latching state from latch to release and from release to latch by compression; said hybrid switch further comprising a magnetic coil, an armature and connection terminals for connecting power and at least one of a load and traveler lines and combinations thereof, said armature is actuated for a given time duration by at least one of a pull by said magnetic coil fed with an electric power pulse and a push by one of a plunger attached to and driven by a manual key for reversing said hybrid switch state; said pole is one of attached to and actuated by said armature via said at least one of said pull and said push to simultaneously compress said latching device, each fresh said compress reverses the hybrid switch state by one of engaging and disengaging said single throw contact with said at least one first contact and by one of switching over the engagement of said dual throw contact between said at least one first contact and at least one second contact; at least one of said pole and one of said first and second contact is one of structured to be said springy element comprising one of a spring and springy structure to provide said armature with a partial release when said given time duration is over and said pole is latched for enabling the releasing from said latching state by fresh compression for switching over said hybrid switch state with each fresh compress.
