Abstract
A lever operated switch employs an actuating surface and a plurality of tactile switches to generate electrical states corresponding to distinct angular orientations of the lever. The lever extends from a cam having an actuating surface configured to change the state of one switch when the lever is moved between adjacent positions. The cam is reversible, permitting the switch to be mounted on opposite sides of a support with the same lever movement and switch actuation.
