ABSTRACT:
A control lever for a toy wherein the lever has two degrees of freedom and includes a stem portion loosely engaging a hole centrally located in an electrically non-conductive switch plate. The square switch plate has four rectangular electrically conductive areas positioned adjacent the sides thereof. The switch plate is held against a frame by means of four sets of flexible contacts, each set associated with one of the conductive areas. The switch plate is movable with two degrees of freedom by movement of the lever, whereby none, one or two different adjacent pairs of flexible contacts will be positioned on a rectangular conductive area. In this manner, two motors which control the direction of the vehicle can be selectively off, rotating in a forward direction or rotating in a rearward direction. In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention the switch plate has a square conductive area with a non-conductive interior on both surfaces of the non-conductive switch plate, the flexible contacts being provided in pairs, one positioned above the switch plate and the other positioned below the switch plate.
