An ignition switch for motor vehicles.

摘要

The switch comprises, according to a known solution, a containment casing (2, 3) in which electrical contacts 4) are mounted in contact with a flat wall (5) of the casing for cooperation with a rotatable contact element (10) which is moved, usually through a transmission, by the ignition key of the vehicle. The electrical contacts (4) are sandwiched between the flat wall of the casing and an intermediate insulating body (15) on which projecting formations (tripping formations) (18) are provided for selectively causing the rotatable element (10) to move towards and away from the electrical contacts as a result of the rotation imparted thereto.
