ABSTRACT:
The mechanism includes a housing containing a plurality of switches and a cam shaft which is frictionally coupled by a first clutch band to a pivotal brake lever. Two cam members, which are rotatable on the cam shaft, are frictionally connected by another pair of interconnected clutch bands to a clutch lever. The cam shaft and the two cam members are pivotal within certain angular limits in response to pivotal movements of the vehicle's brake and clutch, respectively, to control the brake lights, cruise control and a starting switch. If after prolonged use the angular throw of the clutch or brake exceeds the throw for which it was originally designed, limit means associated with the cam members and cam shaft cause the associated clutch band to allow relative angular rotation between the cam shaft or cam member and the associated brake or clutch lever. The mechanism can be modified for use with an automatic transmission simply by removing the two cam members, shunting the clutch-operated starting switch, and replacing one blade in the cruise control switch to make it a normally closed switch.
