Abstract
1428657 Inert switches; retractive switches LUCAS ELECTRICAL CO Ltd 26 April 1973 [6 May 1972] 21237/72 Heading H1N A switch for mounting on a vehicle steering column for controlling windscreen washers, or for lights and horn control, has a detent feature provided by its contacts engaging in depressions in an insulating part of a rotatable contact carrier. A plurality of resilient contacts 10-14 are mounted in angularly spaced recesses in an insulating body 5 located on the end of a hollow conductive stalk 6 through which insulated connecting leads 7 pass and a series of angularly spaced depressions 19 are formed on a rotatable contact carrier 16 which also has a U-shaped contact 18 integrally moulded therewith and which forms a snap-fit cap 15 to an insulating casing 8 surrounding the body 5 and movable thereabout. On rotation of the casing 8 relative to the body 5 the contact 18 can be brought into detented bridging engagement with selected ones of contacts 10, 11, 12, 13 and, in an embodiment not shown, the contact 18 can be made to bridge three of the resilient contacts. A contact plate 20 is also disposed within the casing and can be moved by depression of the casing longitudinally of the stalk 6 to bring it, against the restoring action of spring 21, into abutting engagement with lugs 24, 25 formed on contacts 10 and 14, contact 14 being extended to be in conductive engagement with the stalk 6. Various connection arrangements and use of the contacts are described with reference to the embodiment shown for control of a two-speed windscreen wiper motor and washer with "parking" facilities as well as to an embodiment, not shown, for lighting and horn control. The cap 15 and the contact carrier 16 may be formed as separate parts.
