ABSTRACT:
Joystick switch comprises a handle attached to a support member carrying a ball member which rides in a socket fixed on a base. A straight length of resilient wire fixed to the base passes through an aperture defined by four discrete contacts in the base and into a bore in the ball member where it is slideably received. Arcuate movement of the handle causes lateral deflection of the wire into contact with the contacts to generate signals for x-y directional control. Die cast zinc circuitry in the base provides grounding for the wire and signal current for the contacts. Resilient return action for the handle is effected by an elastomeric ring in the base which bears on an annular surface of the support member.
