A control switch includes a key, a housing structure, in the upper portion of which the key is secured in a manner such that the key can rotate about a first fulcrum. A tip is secured at one end to the key and moving integrally therewith, so as to slide along a first axis (X) of the key is countered by an elastic element. A printed circuit board includes at least two push-buttons, arranged in the lower portion of the housing structure. The housing structure includes in its internal portion, a flared structure having two inclined contact planes specularly opposite with respect to a second vertical axis (Z) and forming a first obtuse angle (a), on which the tip can slide along its stroke. The flared structure is structurally secured to the housing structure. The switch includes at least one actuator positioned in proximity to the flared structure. |

1. A control switch comprising:
a key, a housing structure, in an upper portion of which said key is secured in a manner such that said key is rotatable about a first fulcrum a tip, secured at one end to the key and moving integrally with the key, so as to slide along a first axis of said key, countered by an elastic element; a printed circuit board, comprising at least two push-buttons, arranged in a lower portion of said housing structure; each push-button comprising at least one silicone dome and at least one electric contact adapted to close an electric circuit upon compression of said silicone dome; said housing structure comprising in an internal portion, a flared structure comprising two inclined contact planes specularly opposite with respect to a second vertical axis and forming a first obtuse angle, on which said tip is slidable along the tip's stroke; said flared structure is structurally secured to the housing structure; said switch comprises at least one actuator positioned alongside said flared structure to be intercepted by the tip and causing electrical commutation of at least one push-button; each actuator is monolithic and comprises two contact portions, each of the contact portions located alongside an inclined contact plane, upon which the tip acts along the tip's stroke on said inclined contact planes, and two actuation portions, each of the actuation portions located in proximity to a push-button and for acting upon the respective push-button exercising a force on the corresponding silicone dome; said contact portions are interposed between the two actuation portions; each actuation portion of the actuator lies on top of a respective silicone dome, so that said actuator only weighs upon the silicone domes; and wherein, depending on an action directly exerted by the tip on one of said contact portions, the corresponding actuator can rotate about one of two axes of rotation; each one of said two axes of rotation is respectively located on an actuation portion of the actuator; depending on a direction of rotation of the key, the axis of rotation is located at actuation portion opposite to actuation portion that must act upon push-button. |
