ABSTRACT:
A steering column switch with a rotary pin aligned and parallel to the steering spindle and maintained between socket plates with a switching lever having an annular slider therein encompassing the steering spindle. A rotary pin is retained within a passage in the annular slider. The annular slider is rotatable around the rotary pin and can also be tilted relative to the axis of the rotary pin. The annular slider has a stop profile diametrically opposite the passage for the rotary pin into which a stop spring is engaged. There are contact plates on the rotary pin adjacent the areas where it engages the socket plates. A saddle-shaped contact bridge causes completion of an electrical circuit depending upon the direction of tilting the annular slider.
