Abstract

1407041 Mechanical switches ROMAY AG 4 Sept 1972 [15 Sept 1971] 40900/72 Heading H1N [Also in Divisions G5 and H3] Display apparatus (see Divisions G4-G6) includes a coding switch comprising a set of 4 leaf switches 30a ... 30d on a base 10 and an array of cams 34 on a movable member 20 which operate the switches according to the relative position of the member. The base carries a figure of eight pattern selected portions of which are obscured by a line pattern 23 on member 20 to indicate numerals 0 to 9 also according to the position of the member. Alternatively the switches may include projections when the cams are replaced by recesses. The switches and cams may be on side walls of a display panel.
