摘要

A rotary switch for a hand-held tool and including a manually operated actuation member (3) rotatable over a predetermined angle (phi) for switching from one operational mode to another immediately adjacent operational mode, a rotatable switching member (6) arranged coaxially with the actuation member (3), an overhanging spring (5) connected with the switching member (6) for joint rotation therewith, and an operating pin (4) connected with the actuation member (3) and arranged eccentrically with respect to its rotational axis for deflecting an arm of the overhanging spring to thereby rotate the switching member (6) over a predetermined angle to provide for a predetermined displacement of the switching element (12) of the hand-held tool.
