Abstract

The invention relates to an opening switch (1) for the doors or rear hatches of a vehicle which comprises a lever (5) operating a microswitch (6) which can be moved between two positions, a first open position in which it is separate from the said microswitch (6) and a second enclosed position in which it is in contact with the said microswitch (6), and elastic means for returning the operating lever (5) from the said second position to the said first position. According to the invention, the elastic return means comprise at least two flexible spring members (7) of plastics material incorporated with the operating lever as a single part.
