I'm trying to design a very simple mechanical switch that toggles it's state and latches.
While there is plenty of information on the net for electrical flip-flops and latches I can't find anything remotely related to mechanical ones. Am I using the wrong terms. While I could possibly tear a part a few switches and figure out what is going on I'd rather have a better formal understanding. Obviously designing a momentary switch i s quite easy but adding the latching mechanism is throwing me for a loop.
Anyone know where I can find more information about this subject?
