- the actuating element 2 itself is rotatably supported in the switch module 1 via a further axis connection, so that the guide pin 2c is gimbaled.

Furthermore, a fastening element 1f molded onto the base body 1a can be seen in FIG. 3a.
- the fastening element is designed, for example, as a sleeve into which a self-tapping screw can be screwed, as a result of which the four-way switch arrangement S is fixed, for example, to a base.
- the base body 1a, 1a 'of the respective switch modules 1, 1' are in the
- Connection area III designed in the manner of the tongue and groove principle so complementary to one another that the control surfaces 1g, 1g 'of the
- Control elements 1b, 1b ' essentially in one plane
- the “tongue and groove” shaped elements are provided with the reference numerals 1e, 1e 'in FIG. 3a.
- the switching elements 3a, 3a 'assigned to the control elements 1b, 1b' are preferably designed as elastic contact elements (switching mat) embedded in a common elastic molded part (e.g. made of silicone).
- Each contact element consists of an elastic, approximately conical region which contains an electrical contact, for example a carbon pill or a contact made of an elastic, conductive composite material. This elastically movable contact can be pressurized by the respective actuating element and can thus be brought into operative connection with associated mating contacts, for example arranged on a printed circuit board (not shown here).
- Latching means 3b are formed on the switching mat 3 and cooperate with associated counter-latching means (latching receptacles) 1h ', so that the switch module V can be clipped onto the switching mat 3 at predetermined positions.
- stop elements 1j, 1j 'for the control elements 1b, 1b' can be seen in FIG. 3b.
- the stop elements 1j, 1j ' ensure that when one of the control elements 1b arranged on a base body 1a is actuated, the respective other control element 1b is pressed against the corresponding stop 1j by the respectively assigned (elastic) switching element 3a, as a result of which a rattling of the respective released control element 1b is prevented.
- Another advantage of this four-way switch arrangement is the space-saving utilization of the available installation space.
- a usable free space is generated in the center of the switch arrangement S.
- an extension 2e of the guide pin 2c is guided through this free space.
- the extension 2e can thus be guided in a preferably cross-shaped link guide (but not shown here), so that movement of the actuating element is only possible along predetermined link tracks.
- the arrangement can also be designed in such a way that the extension 2e is guided through the switch mat 3 or an associated printed circuit board (not shown), so that the installation space below the printed circuit board can also be used advantageously (an opening is schematically shown in FIG. 3a) 3c shown in the switching mat 3).
- the extension 2e connected to the guide pin 2c can be rotatably and / or axially movably mounted in the control part 2a, so that this can perform an additional turning and / or touch function can.
- an axially movably mounted extension 2e can be brought into operative connection with a push-button switching element (for example a microswitch) which is fastened to the inner control part 2a or to the printed circuit board.
- a push-button switching element for example a microswitch
- the rotary movement of a rotatably mounted extension 2e can be converted into a corresponding electrical signal by a rotary potentiometer attached to the inner control part 2c.
- contactless signal transmitters and detectors eg magnet and Hall elements
- the switching state of the switching elements 3a, 3a ' can be optically determined via light-guiding elements located in the guide pins 2c and 2e
- control element for display purposes. It is also possible to design the inner control part 2a itself as a light-guiding element.
