Steering column switch for motor vehicle - has two wing-shaped locking elements, with free ends having stop elements associated with profile curve and has restoring spring and electrical contacts

摘要

The steering column switch for indicating the driving direction of a motor vehicle has a housing (1) at least partially surrounding the steering spindle. A switch member (3) is pivotably disposed in the box-shaped housing (1). This is connected to a lever (2). The lever (2) moves the switch member (3) from a middle rest position to operating positions both sides of the middle position. The switch member (3) is held in the different positions under a spring force. Electric contacts are associated with the switch member (3). Stop elements cooperate with a profile curve (25). Locking elements (5,5a) made in one or two parts are rotatably disposed on the switch member (3). The free ends each have a stop element (18) associated with the profile curve (25) and a control wing (21) movable into the rest position in use. ADVANTAGE - Simple, small, compact construction.
