Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1786009A1] The switch has a housing with a detachable cover (22), which is formed so as to fasten a cylinder lock (14) at the cover. An electrical switching unit (42) has an actuator that is operated by operating the lock. A hook (56) is torque-proof connected with the actuator, and a locking plate (58) is provided at the cover inner side. The plate has a projection (62) that extends parallel to the cover. The hook is engaged in locked position behind the projection and the hook is released from the projection, when the actuator is rotated together with the hook around a predetermined angle.
