Abstract
A steering column switch with a warning flashing switch that overlaps a steering column spindle. There is a conductor plate perpendicular to the axis of the steering spindle with an actuating member for the actuation of a slider switch provided in the peripheral wall of the steering column switch. In an annular section of the conductor plate there are contact heads on either side of the plate. The slider has a circular, segment-shaped cross section and is parallel with the axis of the steering column switch, and shiftable perpendicular to the plane of the conductor plate. The slider carries several contact bridges which cooperate with the contact heads of the conductor plate. Contact bridges on the conductor plate are non-flexibly held and fixed to the slider and establish stop positions of the slider when the contact bridge engages the contact heads on the conductor plate.
