Electrical switching device

A switching device comprising:

• a handle rotatable about a rotation axis, wherein a first end of the handle moves downward from a neutral position in response to the handle being pulled, wherein an opposite second end of the handle moves downward from the neutral position in response to the handle being pressed;
• a first rod adjacent to the first end of the handle, the first rod being movable upward and downward relative to the first end of the handle, wherein the first rod is biased with an elastic force to move upward;
• a first carrier displaceable between first and second positions;
• a second rod adjacent to the second end of the handle, the second rod being movable upward and downward relative to the second end of the handle, wherein the second rod is biased with an elastic force to move upward;
• a second carrier displaceable between first and second positions;
• a first rocker adjacent to the first rod and rotatable about a first swivel axis parallel to the rotation axis of the handle, wherein an end of the first rocker facing away from the first swivel axis is engaged with the first carrier;
• a second rocker adjacent to the second rod and rotatable about a second swivel axis parallel to the rotation axis of the handle, wherein an end of the second rocker facing away from the second swivel axis is engaged with the second carrier;
• wherein the first end of the handle engages and forces the first rod to move downward while the first end of the handle moves downward in response to the handle being pulled, wherein the first rod cooperates with the first rocker such that during downward movement of the first rod the first rod abruptly swivels the first rocker in a first swivel direction about the first swivel axis thereby causing the first rocker to abruptly displace the first carrier from the first position to the second position and such that during upward movement of the first rod the first rod abruptly swivels the first rocker in a second opposite swivel direction about the first swivel axis thereby causing the first rocker to abruptly displace the first carrier back to the second position from the first position.
