Patent ID: 6982391

Claim:
Safety position switch comprising, in a casing: a push rod which responds to movement of an actuator connected to a device to be made safe, in such a way as to become displaced along a main axis in order to assume a rest position and a working position, an electrical device switchable according to the position of the push rod, by means of a lockable transmission mechanism actuated by the push rod, a device ( 20 ) for locking the transmission mechanism, said locking device having a head for locking the transmission mechanism, capable of assuming a locked position and an unlocked position, characterized in that: the transmission mechanism comprises a pivoting lever capable of assuming a locked position and an unlocked position, the pivoting lever has a force applied to the lever from the push rod such that a movement of translation of the push rod generates a rotation of the lever, the pivoting lever is provided with a jamming element that is applicable, in the locked position of the lever and transversely with respect to the main axis, against the locking head.
