ABSTRACT:
A direction indicator switch having a body, a rotor, and detent means on the body and the rotor for releasably retaining the rotor in any one of a rest, and first and second operative positions. A detent release member is movable with the rotor and is also movable relative to the rotor to release the detent means, and carried by the body is a pawl. The pawl is resiliently urged towards a projecting position wherein the pawl intersects the orbit of a striker rotating with the vehicle steering shaft. The pawl is capable of movement relative to the body about first and second spaced parallel axes, and is permitted to move to its projecting position when the rotor of the switch is moved to either of its first or second operative positions. During cancelling movement the pawl is moved by the striker, and in turn co-operates with the detent release member to release the detent mechanism and thus to permit the rotor to be moved back to its central rest position by an inherent spring bias.
