Abstract
Disclosed is an assembly of ganged push-button switches each movable between a first position and a latching position. The assembly is comprised of a first switch block and a second switch block connected thereto. The operation rod of each push-button switch is formed with a symmetrical cam portion engaging a single latch member common to both blocks of switches so that any switch previously locked into its latched position will be unlatched by the latch member upon actuation of any one of the switches.
