Abstract
A rotary switch includes a stator, rotor and shaft for the rotor. The stator has a complex conductive matrix formed of criss-crossing conductive sections integrally joined together and integral with a central annular ring. The annular ring in turn has radially inwardly-extending switch sections. There is a non-conductive support member for the matrix, with the matrix and support member having respective and cooperating openings and projections for positioning the matrix on the support member. The rotor has a plurality of pockets with contact members positioned in at least one of the pockets and arranged for electrical contact with portions of said matrix.
