ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a multiple function control stalk for a vehicle having a linearly moveable wiper delay rheostat. The control stalk includes a plurality of switches for controlling various devices on the vehicle, such as the windshield wiper and washer controls and vehicle speed or cruise controls. A windshield wiper delay switch is provided on the control stalk which includes a rheostat having an arm which is linearly moveable in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the control stalk. The wiper delay rheostat is disposed slightly above the body of the control stalk for easy viewing and manipulation by the vehicle driver. Movement of the arm of the wiper delay rheostat varies the electrical resistance thereof and, consequently, causes an electrical control circuit to alter the period of delay between successive cycles of operation of the windshield wipers.
