Claims (2)

1. Schalteinrichtung für mehrere Wege, z.B. Mehrrichtungssteuerung für elektronische Spiele, mit einem Gehäuse (10), das aus zwei zusammengesetzten Teilen (11) und (12) testeht und einerseits im wesentlichen eine Anzahl einen Schalter bildender Kontaktmittel, die auf einem Kreis angeordnet sind und mit einem Teil des Gehäuses eine Einheit bilden, und zum anderen ein Handbedienungsorgan (20) enthält, das aus einem Stück aus federndem Material folgende Teile enthält:
- einen Bedienungshebel, dessen Stift (21) durch eine Offnung im oberen Gehäuseteil (1 2) herausragt, während das andere Hebelende von einem zentralen Nocken (25) auf dem unteren Gehäuseteil bewegbar festgehalten wird, wobei der Bedienungshebel in verschiedenen Richtungen ausgehend von einer zentralen Ruhenstellung ablenkbar ist,
- flexible Rückbringmittel in Form von Bedienungsorganteilen, die elastisch verformbar und derart angeordnet sind, dass sie von Wiederlagermitteln vcm Gehäuse getragen werden, wobei diese Rückbringmittel den Bedienungshebel in die zentrale Ruhelage zurückbringen,
- einen Umfangskragen (23), der dazu dient, bei stellenweisem Druck am Umfang zumindest eines der Kontaktmittel zu aktivieren, wenn der Bedienungshebel von hand betätigt wird, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Teile des Bedienungsorgans (20), die die flexiblen Rückbringmittel bilden, aus einer Anzahl von radial aus einem Teil (22) des Bedienorgans in Scheitenform ausgeschnittenen Zungen (30) bestehen, wobei die Scheibe den Bedienungshebel mit dem Umfangskragen (23) verbindet, wobei das flexible Ende der Zungen auf die Mitte dieses Teiles (22) in Scheibenform gerichtet sind, dass die Offnung des oberen Gehäuseteiles einen stumpfen Kegel (28) trägt, der sich nach dem Inneren des Gehäuses erstreckt und dessen Achse ungefähr mit der Achse des zentralen Ncckens zusammenfällt, wobei der stumpfe Kegel die genannten Wiederlagermittel auf seiner externen Seitenfläche bildet, die die Zungen (30) trägt.
2. Schalteinrichtung nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass einer der Gehäuseteile (11) aus einem Isolierwerkstoff besteht und auf seiner Innenfläche einen Satz von Leiterspuren (46, 47) trägt, die voneinander isoliert sind, wobei der Bedienungshebel (20) auf seinem Umfangskragen (42) einen Ring (41) trägt, der aus einem leitenden Elastomer besteht, der zum Ausüben von Druck auf die Stellen (40) zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung für die Kontakte zwischen zumindest zwei der leitenden Spuren (46, 47) dient.
