  • Patent number: 8222546
    Abstract: A multi-position rotary switch comprises a plurality of identical switch chamber modules that are arranged one next to the other. Each switch chamber module holds a separate line switch allocated to a respective circuit. A standalone actuator housing holds a catch assembly for a switch shaft, which is coupled with a cam slide by means of a gear drive. The cam slide is located between a block like arrangement of switch chamber modules and the housing for the activation mechanism, which is designed for a standard configuration with three switch chamber modules connected to each other. The electrical terminals of the multi-position rotary switch are located on a narrow sides of the individual switch chamber modules.
