Abstract
A speed change control structure for an electric tool is adapted to be provided near a speed change device of the electric tool and includes at least one speed change forked rod, a speed control push block, an elastic latch member, and an insert hole formed in a housing of the electric tool. The insert hole has two opposed walls each of which is provided with an inner projection. The speed control push block is formed with a through hole for mounting of the elastic latch member. The elastic latch member includes a push button, a bow-shaped packing ring fitted to a rear end of the push button, and a squeeze plate connected to the rear end of the push button, such that the push button and the bow-shaped packing ring are exposed on the surface of the speed control push block, and the squeeze plate is elastically retained and supported between the bow-shaped walls at the inner end of the speed control push block. When the push button is pressed, the squeeze plate is caused to displace so that the bow-shaped walls can elastically slide past the inner projections to allow pushing of the speed control push block, thereby preventing possible accidents caused by inadvertent pressing of the press button or pushing of the push block.
