  • Patent number: 5736696
    Abstract: An automotive light switch assembly having a rotatable/pull-push type user actuator extending from a housing adapted for dashboard mounting. The rotary actuation controls the on/off functions for both the parking and headlamps and the pull-push actuation controls the on/off function for the vehicle interior lights. A light pipe illuminates, from a stationary source a translucent lens on the rotatable/pull-push actuator to facilitate user location. Stationary translucent lenses are illuminated to indicate the particular function position that has been selected. A pair of spaced oppositely disposed wheel or disc-type actuators are provided below the rotatable/pull-push actuator for controlling respectively headlamp illumination distance and interior light intensity. A light pipe illuminates, from a stationary lamp source, a translucent lens on each wheel to indicate the wheel position. Stationary illuminated indicators display the function/level selected by each individual wheel position.
