7. In a switch operating device, a pair of rockahly supported shafts, gears secured to the ends of said shafts and disposed in mesh with each other, means adapted to normally maintain the shafts in one position, a lever secured on one of the shafts, a switch rod, and means for connecting the rod to one of the gears.

8. In a switch operating; device, a pair of rockably supported shafts, means secured to the shafts and disposed in mesh with each other, means normally maintaining the shafts in one position, means for automatically locking the shafts in said position, means for rocking the shafts to another position when unlocked, a switch rod, and means adapted to connect the rod to one of the gears.

9. In a switch operating device, a pair of rockably supported shafts, gears set eccentrically on the ends of said shafts and disposed in mesh with each other, means normally maintaining the shafts in one position, a lever secured to one of the shafts and provided with a lug having a slot therein, a spring lock secured adjacent the lever and adapted to engage In the slot. a switch rod, and means for connecting the rod to one of the gears.

10. In a switch operating device, a pair of rockably supported shafts, gears secured on the shafts and disposed in mesh with each other, means normally maintaining the shafts In one position, means for rocking the shafts to another position, a pin carried by one of the gears, a switch rod connected to the pin, and means for securing the pin to the gear.

11. In a switch operating device, a pair or rockably supported shafts, gears eccentrically set on the ends of said shafts and disposed in mesh with each other, one of which gears is provided with an eccentrically arranged slot having teeth on its wall, means normally maintaining the shafts in one position, means for rocking the shafts to another position, a pin disposed through the slot in the gear, a rod connected to the pin, discs on the pin provided with teeth, a nut on the pin adapted to force said teeth into engagement with the teeth on the wall of the slot, and a switch rod secured to the pin.

12. In a switch operating device, a pair of rockably supported shafts, intermeshing gears on the shafts, resilient means for rocking the shafts to one position, means for overcoming the tension of the resilient means and for rocking the shafts to another position, and means for balancing the tension of the resilient means when the shafts are rocked to the second position.

13. In a switch operating device, a pair of rockably supported shafts, intermeshing gears secured on the shafts, resilient means for rocking the shafts to one position, means for overcoming the tension of the resilient means and for rocking the shafts into another position, a grooved wheel on one of the shafts, a band on the wheel, an eccentric on the other shaft, an eccentric strap on the eccentric, and means for connecting the band with the eccentric strap.

14. In a switch operating device the combination comprising a pair of rockably supported shafts, intermeshing gears on the ends ot the shafts, resilient means (or rocking the shafts to one position, a lever secured to one of the shafts, a weight on the lever, and means tor balancing the tension ol the resilient means, when the shafts are rocked by the lever.

15. In a switch operating device, a pair of rockably supported shafts, intermeshing gears secured on the shafts, resilient means for rocking the shafts to one position, a lever keyed to one of the shafts, a spring pressed plunger in the path of movement of the lever, and means for the tension of the resilient means when the shafts ed by the lever.
