ABSTRACT:
A lever assembly for the control of various electrical functions of a motor vehicle includes a hand operated control lever which is tiltable and rotatable with respect to and is supported by a base. A tension spring extends along a rotation axis of the control lever axis. One end of the spring is hooked to the control lever and the other end is coupled to the base, either directly or indirectly. The tension spring is hooked to a pin which is connected to the control lever and which simultaneously defines a tilt axis and forms part of a rotational stop mechanism.
An arm of the control lever receives a plunger to which a contact of a horn operating switch element is attached. A pair of turn signal micro-switches are attached to the base and can be operated by rotation of the control lever. A third, central, dimmer micro-switch is operated by tilting the control lever to a detent position defined by a control gate which is attached to the base.
