ABSTRACT:
An electrical rotary switch is disclosed having a rotary operating member (16) mounted for rotation about an axis. A first contact member (32) is mounted for movement in opposed directions along a path transverse to but not intersecting the axis, between a first position in which a contact surface (38) of the first contact member (32) is in electrical contact with a contact surface (42) of a respective second contact member (36) and a second position in which the contact surfaces are not in electrical contact. The path is approximately normal to the contact surfaces, and the operating member has a surface (44) to impart movement to the first contact member in one or both directions.
