ABSTRACT:
A switch for use on the steering column of a vehicle includes lever operated switch members controlling vehicle operating circuits. A switch lever is mounted in a housing attachable to the steering column of a vehicle for movement in one of two mutually separate planes and/or rotation about a longitudinal axis extending through the switch lever. Actuators are mounted in the housing and are independently responsive to one of the modes of movement of the switch lever for controlling a separate switch member mounted in the housing. Each switch member carries electric contacts which are selectively engaged by contacts carried by a driven member in the switch member as the switch member switches position in response to movement by the associated actuator to effect switching of the connections for a particular vehicle operating circuit.
