Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to methods and systems for providing a bias mechanism for a momentary toggle switch. A toggle switch may comprise a housing; a plurality of contacts disposed within the housing; an actuating lever coupled to a pivot pin, wherein the actuating lever extends into the housing; an actuator assembly coupled to the actuating lever, configured to actuate a movable contact of the plurality of contacts between a first position and a second position; and a biasing mechanism configured to bias the actuator assembly into the first position, wherein the biasing mechanism comprises a torque spring.

Abstract: A switch assembly (108) includes a housing (202), a switch (204), a lock mechanism (206), and an input element (208). The switch (204) is disposed within the housing (202) and configured to translate, along a first axis (212), between a first switch position and a second switch position. The lock mechanism (206) is disposed within the housing (202) and configured to translate, along a second axis (216) that is parallel to the first axis (212), between an unlock position and a lock position. The input element (208) is coupled to the switch (204) and the lock mechanism (206) and is movable relative to the housing (202). The input element (208) is adapted to receive an input force and is configured, upon receipt thereof to selectively and simultaneously move the switch (204) and the lock mechanism (206) between the first and second switch positions and the unlock and lock positions, respectively.
