43439730, Aug 10, 1982

Filed:

Aug 13, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/177786

Inventors:

Robert T. Main - Arlington Heights IL

Assignee:

Cherry Electrical Products Corp. - Waukegan IL

International Classification:

H01H 1370

US Classification:

200159B

Abstract:

An improved low cost electrical switch has a two-piece housing comprising a base and an escutcheon. The escutcheon includes a frame and a face plate which is flexible, resilient and insulative. Application of downward finger pressure on the face plate causes the face plate to deform, thereby urging a snap action dome into a shorting position across a pair of electrical contacts.

Abstract:

A power mirror remote control switch includes a switch body which supports a printed circuit board and two stacked, insulated levels of conducting terminal fingers which extend over the board. A four-way position control key overhangs the terminal fingers. The control key is pressed to flex selected terminals into conductive contact with underlying portions of the printed circuit board, thereby establishing conductive connections for energizing motors which rotate or tilt at least two power mirrors. A sliding switch is provided to define which one of the two mirrors is to be moved in the direction defined by the position control key.
