Abstract
A multiposition switch for ignition or heater plug and starter circuits in a motor vehicle, adapted for an independent switching of a plurality of load circuits, includes a switching disk rotatable about an axis and supporting spring biased conductive arms crossing each other and being bent in the crossing region into a U-shaped configuration so that the arms are insulated one from the other. One end of each arm sweeps on a plurality of stationary load contacts whereas the other end portion of respective arms is controlled by annular cams surrounding the load contacts. A stationary counter-contact ring is provided in the region between the rotary axis and the load contacts and cooperates with contact studs secured to respective arms.
