ABSTRACT:
A multiposition, multicontact, hermetically-sealed electrical switch assembly includes a body, a movable element supported by the body for movement relative thereto, and first electrical contacts operable by movement of the element relative to the body. Extending from the movable element to facilitate movement of the element relative to the body is an operating lever and an operating member is carried by the lever adjacent its free end. The operating member is rotatable relative to the lever about the longitudinal axis of the free end region of the lever. A drive piece is mounted adjacent the movable element for rotation relative to the operating lever about the longitudinal axis of the region of the lever adjacent the movable element and second electrical contacts are operable by rotation of the drive piece relative to the lever. A flexible sleeve encircles the lever and couples the operating member to the drive piece whereby rotation of the operating member relative to the lever is transmitted to the drive piece to rotate the drive piece relative to the lever.
