  • Patent number: 5111011
    Abstract: The disclosed slide action selector switch, which is adapted to switch the connections of four push button switches between left and right mirror motors, comprises an insulating plate with an elongated guide flange projecting therefrom and having a T-shaped cross section. First and second sets of electrical contacts are mounted along the plate on opposite sides of the flange for sliding engagement by first and second contactors on an insulating carriage having a T-shaped channel slidably receiving and interlocking with the flange. Springs are provided on the carriage for biasing the contactors against the contacts while biasing the carriage away from the plate. A detent ball is disposed in a seat formed in a leaf spring on the carriage and is biased by the leaf spring against the flange for reception in successive detent recesses therein.

  • Patent number: 5107085
    Abstract: Clustered push button switches are provided in a casing having an insulating mounting plate with openings therein for guiding push button shafts which carry U-shaped spring contactors having respective first and second contactor arms. Front and rear sheet metal conductors are mounted on front and rear sides of the plate and are formed with front and rear contact tabs extending into the openings and successively engageable by the first contactor arms. The front contact tabs are bent rearwardly from the front sheet metal conductors. The rear contact tabs are bent forwardly from the rear sheet metal conductors. Additional sheet metal conductors are mounted on one side of the plate and are formed with elongated additional contact tabs extending into the openings for constant sliding engagement by the second conductor arms. The additional contact tabs are bent from the additional conductors in a substantially rectangular relation thereto.

  • Patent number: 5041703
    Abstract: The disclosed mirror control switch comprises a cluster of four push buttons for operating a cluster of four push button switches, each of which is a single pole double throw switch for energizing UP-DOWN and RIGHT-LEFT mirror adjusting motors in either of two directions. A slide action selector switch is also provided for switching the connections of the push button switches between left and right mirror motors. Each push button switch comprises a contactor which is slidable between first and second fixed contacts adapted to be connected to a pair of battery terminals. An insulating member is provided between the contacts to prevent the contactor from bridging between the contacts, so that the contactor provides a break-before-make switching action to obviate any possibility of short circuiting the battery.
