Remote control switch for posture adjustment of automotive mirrors

Abstract

A remote control switch for posture adjustment of automotive mirrors comprises plural fixed contact groups each having a first to third fixed contacts formed on both sides of a substrate and plural pairs of moving contacts disposed corresponding to the fixed contact groups, respectively. Each of the moving contact pairs consists of two electrically-conductive rolling elements movable on the substrate while being so kept by slidable actuating members disposed correspondingly to each moving contact pair. Each of the actuating members are forced by a resilient member disposed correspondingly to the actuating member in a direction where each moving contact pair takes a first contact position in which it is put into contact with the first and second fixed contacts. When each of the actuating member is slid in an opposite direction to the force of each resilient member, each moving contact pair takes a second contact position where the moving contacts in the pair are put into contact with the second and third fixed contacts. The sliding actuating members are moved by a rotary cam which acts on each actuating end protruding in the direction of the force of each resilient member having axis of rotation parallel to the length of the substrate and/or or as a switching disk disposed slidably in a plane perpendicular to the substrate and which has slopes acting on the actuating ends. The rotary cam or switching disk is rotated or slid by a single operating shaft.
