摘要

A control apparatus for a battery pack having two power receptacles coupled to an electric circuit that includes a switch for selectively delivering power to the receptacles. The control apparatus includes (1) a structure for retaining the receptacles a predetermined distance apart; (2) a cover moveable on the retaining structure so as to selectively expose a selected one of the receptacles while simultaneously covering the nonselected one; and (3) a protuberance coupled to the cover for engaging the switch and translating movement of the cover into operable movement of the switch.
