Abstract

1510408 Lever-actuated switches SWFSPEZIALFABRIK FUR AUTOZUBEHOR GUSTAV RAU GmbH 27 July 1976 [5 Aug 1975] 31228/76 Heading H1N A steering column switch assembly comprises a switch unit 20 containing a member 25 which is operated in a horizontal direction when a lever 21 is pivoted about a vertical bearing pin 22 and an additional switch unit having two stable switching positions and operated by moving the lever 21 vertically, the additional switching unit comprising a slide 32 coupled to the switch lever, e.g. by a hook 31 engaging in a slot 33, for vertical movement in a switch body 41, 47, which slide, when repeatedly lifted by the lever, causes a contact support member 40 to alternate between two positions, member 40 being rotatably mounted in the switch body, e.g. by a horizontal pivot pin 37 and having a spring biased detent member 54 (Fig. 2) which bears on a cam surface 55 fixed to the switch body. As shown member 40 has oblique edge surfaces 59, 60. Switching is achieved by means of a switching element 36 carrying a bolt 34 engaged in a slot 35 in the slide and alternately engaging lower oblique surfaces on member 40 to pivot it from one position to the other, bolt 34 being returned to a central position by engagement in a V-shaped recess 48 in a spring-loaded bearing member 43 when lever 21 is released. Member 40 carries spring loaded contacts 61, 62 such that 62 connects fixed contacts 63, 64 as shown and 61 connects fixed contacts 64, 66 in the other position of member 40. Bearing member 43 also carries a spring loaded contact 46 which connects fixed contacts 51, 66 when lever is raised and connects fixed contacts 49, 51 if the lever is depressed below its normal position.
