  • Patent number: 8710384
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multifunction switch for a vehicle and provides a multifunction switch for a vehicle in which a user may clearly and intuitively distinguish and recognize a rotating knob on a multifunction switch lever and an operating region of a corresponding rotation knob/mechanism which includes a symbol indicating a manipulating position of the rotating knob and which may enhance visibility that distinguishes respective operating regions of the multifunction switch lever and user convenience thereof. The multifunction switch includes a multifunction switch lever, a rotating knob mounted on the multifunction switch lever, and a lighting module for emitting light to the outside along an interface between a rotating knob operating region including a region where symbols indicating a rotating knob and an operating position of the rotating knob are marked and the rest of the operating regions adjacent to the rotating knob operating region.

  • Patent number: 7910846
    Abstract: A steering column assembly includes a light switch and a wiper switch assembled to a column tube of a column shaft via an assembly bracket. The assembly bracket includes a body, to which the light switch and the wiper switch are coupled, and a coupling section, to which a top portion of the column tube is fixed. With the assembly, the light switch and the wiper switch can be easily and closely assembled to the column. Also, the assembly tolerance between the column and the assembly bracket can be minimized.
