ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a steering column assembly switch for automotive vehicles with a supporting sleeve surrounding the casing tube of a steering mechanism and mountable thereon, supported by means of a roller bearing on the steering column and housing a plurality of switches, the sleeve having a hollow cylinder mounted at an acute angle to the axis of the sleeve, for a column lock and an ignition switch. The plurality switches are located in a common housing mounted on the supporting sleeve concentrically to the axis of said sleeve. The internal space is divided into two chambers by means of an annular disk and on both sides with conductor bars and switch contacts; each of the chambers contains an annular, rotatably and tiltably mounted sliding contact with a switching lever. At the insulating socket disk, two plates of an insulating material are arranged extending outwardly at right angles from said disk and equipped on both sides with conductor bars, wherein the corresponding conductor bars of the insulating socket disk and the insulating plates are electrically connected with each other and the free ends of the insulating plates are designed in the form of a plug-in part with contact prongs for multiple contacts. A cover plate for the housing contains indexing means for the turn signal switch.
