Abstract
A switch inhibitor provides an obstacle for the switch-toggle, the obstacle having a switch-obstacle position and a switch-release position. The obstacle may be held to the switch-obstacle position by a spring, which may be overcome by applying force to a release mechanism. The switch inhibitor may be permanently or removably attached to the cover plate for the electric-switch.
