Abstract: Rotary switch (1, 101) comprising: —a rotor (15, 115) supporting at least one electro-conductive rotary contact bridge (19, 119); —a plurality of stationary contacts (21, 121); —a housing (3, 103) accommodating the stationary contacts and the rotor. The housing comprises a plurality of sides (5, 105) extending between a top side and a bottom side. At least two of these sides (5, 105) are provided with access openings (62, 62) providing access to an associated stationary contact. These sides make an angle with each other. The housing may for example be rectangular.

Abstract: A rotary electrical switch comprises a housing having a first rotary contact space for accommodating a rotary contact and a plurality of stationary contact spaces for selectively accommodating at least one stationary contact. The housing comprises one or more closing elements for closing one or more of the stationary contact spaces not in use for accommodating a stationary contact. Another aspect comprises a locking spring member having a first portion being a resilient spring member configured for releasably engaging a locking member, while a second portion is configured for mechanically coupling to a spindle portion for imparting a rotational force on at least one rotary contact of the switch.

Abstract: A rotary electrical switch comprises at least one rotary contact and a stationary contact. The switch may comprise a housing with a first space for accommodating the rotary contact, a second space for accommodating the stationary contact, and a third space for accommodating the stationary contact. The second space and/or the third space is substantially closed or closable when the stationary contact is arranged in the third space or the second space, respectively. First and second stationary contacts may be arranged offset in the axial direction and/or the angular direction with respect to the axis of rotation, with first and second rotary contacts being arranged for concurrently contacting the first and second stationary contacts, respectively, in a first rotary orientation about the common axis of rotation. An improved locking spring is also provided.
