ABSTRACT:
Joystick switch comprises a handle attached to a contact carrying support member which is latchably carried by latch arms attached to a contact carrying base member. Contacts are cast in loop-like patterns toward the periphery of each member and an elastomeric member inside the bounds of the contacts between the support member and base provides resilient return action. A plunger carried in a bore in the handle and through the elastomeric member closes contacts in the base and is operated independently of the joystick directional control.
