Abstract

An electric switch, such as a windscreen wiper switch in a motor vehicle, comprises an operating lever 1, which is pivotably mounted inside a housing 7 and which can be locked in a first plane in at least three latched switch positions and in a second plane in at least two further latched switch positions. Contact springs 10, 20, 30 engageable with respective contact elements 11, 21, 31 projecting from the housing 7 are fixed in a spring-loaded, one-armed rocker 9 pivotably mounted in the housing 7, the rocker 9 having on one side an operating part 13, on which one side 12 of the operating lever 1 bears and which extends obliquely relative to the pivot axis of the rocker 9. The oblique operating part 13 of the rocker 9 ensures that the contact springs 10, 20, 30 experience uniform loading and movement irrespective of the angular position of the operating lever 1.
