Guard for a trigger switch

In combination with a trigger switch of the type having:

• a pistol grip shaped housing;
• a first trigger switch mounted in an upper forward part of the housing;
• a second trigger switch mounted immediately below said first trigger switch;
• a trigger guard for said second trigger switch;
• means for pivotally mounting said trigger guard at one end thereof to said housing above said first switch so that said guard may be moved from a first lower position that protects said second switch from being operated to a second upper position that allows said second switch to be operated;
• and means for biasing said guard towards said first position, the improvement comprising:
• a member fixedly mounted to said housing adjacent said guard and extending between said first and second positions of said guard, said member including an integral projection thereon that extends in a direction towards said guard, said projection adapted to engage said guard when said guard is moved between said first and second positions, said projection being sized to provide enough force between said member and said guard, to prevent said biasing means from returning said guard to said first position unless additional force is supplied to said guard by an operator of said trigger switches.
