Explanation:
Potrebbe essere questo ciò che cerchi? Questo dispositivo, usato su diversi utensili meccanici, richiede che l'operatore aziona il commando per far funzionare la macchina. Appena l'operatore rilascia il commando, la macchina si ferma. Viene usato anche in mezzi di trasporto. In questo modo, se l'operatore è assente, o, per esempio, se sviene, il treno/macchina si ferma.
