A rotary ignition and starter switch for motor vehicles includes a stator 4 surrounding a cylindrical rotor 3, said stator carrying contact pins 5<SP>1</SP>, 5<SP>11</SP>, 5<SP>111</SP> and 5<SP>1111</SP> parallel to the rotor axis, and said rotor, coupled to the rotary shaft (1, Fig. 1) of a lock, carrying spring-loaded contact segments such as 8 or disc-like rollers (such as 8, Fig. 11) lying in pockets (6, 7, Fig. 2). The pins 5<SP>1</SP>, 5<SP>11</SP>, 5<SP>111</SP>, 5<SP>1111</SP> are respectively connected to the positive supply, ignition coil, starter motor, and auxiliary circuits, e.g. radio. In the " stop " position (Fig. 6), the key can be withdrawn from the lock and releases the bolt (13, Fig. 1) to engage the steering column. On inserting and turning the key counterclockwise the " garage " position (Fig. 7) is first reached, in which the key can be withdrawn without releasing the bolt into engagement with the steering column. On turning the key further, the " starting " position (Fig. 9) is reached. On releasing the key, the lock returns the rotor to the " running " position (Fig. 8). An "accessory " position (Fig. 10) is also provided. In a modification (Figs. 11-14) two live pins 5<SP>1</SP>, 5<SP>1</SP> are provided. |
