Abstract
An ignition switch assembly suitable for being connected to a rotary shaft of a gas tap of a cooking appliance. According to one implementation the ignition switch includes a coupling element through which the ignition switch assembly is coupled to the rotary shaft, the coupling element being rotational with the rotary shaft. A fixed contact element and a movable contact element are provided within a casing of the assembly along with the coupling element which includes a cam on an outside surface thereof. The movable and fixed contact elements and the coupling element are arranged so that the cam urges the moveable contact element into contact with the fixed contact element when the coupling element is rotated between a selective angular range. A resistance element is arranged to contact at least a portion of the body of the coupling element to provide resistance against the rotational movement of the coupling element.
