Mark,

There is a cool way of doing bathroom lighting if you use HV.

Subject:	[ukha_d] "Breaking" the latch on a pull switch

After the discussion on pull switches for creating a momentary
version for use in a bathroom, I have now obtained a 2 way pull
switch and am attempting to break the latch as suggested by Keith.

The latching mechanism also seems to manage the turning of the switch
contacts so I am not sure how to break it.

The latch/rotator is a wheel which sits on top of the contact
mechanism between lugs. The other part of the latch consists of a
recess also with lugs.

i.e.




The "wheel" ( = spoke)

-0-


The recess (o = lug)

/----\
o  o

o  o
\----/

The contact  (o = lug, O = contact)

/----\
--o  o--
O      O
--o  o--
\----/


So do I break the lugs from the recess, the wheel, or the contact?

Thanks,

Mark.
