The requirement of repeated, seemingly redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against energy loss and to avoid trapping objects...

A fault indicator is a mechanism that conveys an indication of a fault, or absence of it, in a system. For example, the purpose of the engine-check light...

In firearms, a safety or safety catch is a mechanism used to help prevent the accidental discharge of a firearm, helping to ensure safer handling. Safeties...
