Abstract
In a push-pull type latching control button, in particular a button for operating an electrical component, a main plunger of the control button is associated with an auxiliary plunger through which a shank of a control member can actuate the main plunger. Like the main plunger, the auxiliary plunger is releasably retained by a latching arrangement. An elastic spreader arrangement is provided between the main plunger and the auxiliary plunger. The elastic spreader arrangement also constitutes a return spring arrangement associated with the control member.
