ABSTRACT:
A multi-positional electrical switch is provided for use in a child's riding toy wherein a power source is connected to a plurality of motors in selected alternative configurations so as to impart varying rotational motion to the toy's driven wheels. The switch includes a stationary base with a plurality of stationary contacts, and a manually operable selector mechanism which carries an arrangement of electrically conductive bridges capable of variously connecting the contacts of the base plate. Each such contact is electrically connected to a predetermined terminal of the motors and power source so as to provide electrical input and output to each motor through the switch. The bridges move unitarily with the selector mechanism, alternatively placing the toy's drive system in a high-speed forward configuration, a low-speed forward configuration or a low-speed reverse configuration.
