A multiple interface safety switch actuating mechanism, operable by actuators on the doors of a cabinet, is provided. The switch actuating mechanism, through abutting contact with a biased shaft activated switch, enables an apparatus, contained within the cabinet, when the doors of the cabinet are closed and disables the apparatus, contained within the cabinet, when a door of the cabinet is open. The switch actuating mechanism is maintained in a first position when both doors are open, in a second position upon the closing of one door and in a third position upon the closing of both doors. Accidental activation of the switch actuating mechanism is prevented by a slotted plate mounted in front of the switch actuating mechanism to preclude other than the door actuators from activating the switch actuating mechanism.
A multiple interface safety switch actuating mechanism, operable by door actuators of a double door cabinet, for moving a normally biased open shaft activated switch mechanism between its positional stations, as the doors of the cabinet are opened and closed, to control activation of an apparatus contained within the cabinet, the switch actuating mechanism comprising:
