LIGHT PIPE FOR A FOUR-WAY NAVIGATION SWITCH

摘要

An illuminated four-way navigation switch assembly includes four switches, two light sources, a secondary switch, and a light pipe. The four switches are configured to detect a directional actuation of the assembly in one of four directions. The secondary switch is configured to detect a secondary actuation of the assembly. The light pipe is configured to define an opening to receive the secondary switch. The light pipe is also configured to actuate one or more of the four switches in response to the directional actuation. The light pipe is also configured to define four graphics to indicate the four directions of the directional actuation. The light pipe is also configured to define a light guide portion to guide light from the two light sources to the four graphics.
