摘要

In switch lever housing (3) is mounted switch lever (1), rotatable about mutually orghogonal axes, fitted with two bearing pins (2a,b) supported on housing wall. At least end sections of pins are semi-spherically shaped and abut each on housing contour (4). Lever is rotatable first about middle axis through both pins, and secondly about axis through each pin at right angles to middle axis. During lever swivel, pin, opposite to respective swivel axis (11a,b), is moved along housing contour and is kept in contact with it.
