<p>Combined ignition/starter switches are high quality components which are particularly important to the correct operation of motor vehicles. They have recently also been used as an accessory which is particularly important for protection of vehicles against theft and unauthorised use. A wide range of additional devices is required for this purpose which must be installed either at the manufacturer's works or else at a later point in time in conjunction with or on the switch. In order to make this possible at any time without any structural changes and in a simple manner, without the combination ignition/starter switch having to be replaced by a different switch design for this purpose, it is proposed that the housing (4) of the combination ignition/starter switch (1) have a laterally projecting housing attachment (5) with a retaining opening (6) for an insert (7) containing the additional device (3), which insert (7) completely covers the retaining opening (6) and can be clipped to the housing attachment (5) by means of a detachable snap-action latching connection. This makes it possible to design the combination ignition/starter switch as a standard item with an integrated housing attachment and associated insert for accommodating a wide range of additional devices. Such combination ignition/starter switches can thus be manufactured in large quantities without any design change and can also be assembled only in this standard embodiment. This improves not only production and assembly of the combination ignition/starter switches and additional devices, but also simplifies their storage in a positive manner. <IMAGE></p> |
