Provided is a multi-operating switch unit for vehicles including: a housing part; a substrate; a switch shaft part; a rotary switch part; a directional switch part; and a push switch part. The directional switch part has: a directional slide part in which the position thereof can vary in the housing part due to a tilting directional operation of the switch shaft part; a directional switch that is arranged on the substrate and is operated due to the positional variation of the directional slide part; and a directional return part that returns the directional slide part and the switch shaft part. The directional return part has a return plunger; a return elastic part; and a return groove. The return plunger can be movable in the axial length direction of the switch shaft part with respect to the housing part, and the return groove is formed in the directional slide part. |

A switch actuator device is disclosed. The switch actuator device includes a switch housing, a body having a first and second arm, and a resilient member having a first and second end. The first and second ends of the resilient member are configured to be coupled to the body and switch housing, respectively. The resilient member exerts a first force on the body when the body is at a first position, a second force when the body is at a second position, and a third force when the body is at a threshold position. When the body is rotated about a pivot point from the first to second position, or vice versa, the respective first or second force increases in magnitude and acts on the body to first resist the rotation until the body is in the threshold position, and then assists the rotation. |

The embodiments discussed herein relate to electrical switches. Specifically, the embodiments include a pivoting switch that translates a rotational movement of a portion of the pivoting switch into a linear movement for toggling a button. The pivoting switch can include a pin that extends into a bracket in order to define and limit a rotational movement of the pivoting switch. The pivoting switch can further include a switch cavity that can force a knob of the button to move with the pivoting switch. The embodiments can further include an electrical switch having a welded cover plate. The welded cover plate can include arms that extend across and are welded to one or more surfaces of the electrical switch. The welded cover plate provides a more secure retaining mechanism for the electrical switch in order to reduce bending of certain portions of the electrical switch when the electrical switch is toggled. |

A socket switch for a light bulb comprises a shell, a main body, a grounding unit, a switch unit, an electric conduction unit, wherein a holding chamber is formed inside the shell. The shell has two coupling holes formed thereon. The grounding unit, the switch unit, and the electric conduction unit are connected a surface of the main body, and this surface of the main body is screwed onto the shell via the coupling holes and located inside the holding chamber. The switch unit is designed for electrically connecting an electrode of a power supply, which is connected to the electric conduction unit, with an electrode of the light bulb for lighting up this light bulb. As a result, the purpose of saving energy can be achieved by controlling electric conduction between the power supply and the light bulb. |

A control switch for electric circuits produced in accordance with the present invention is distinguished over the prior art switches in that its stationary contact elements are secured inside the housing on two opposite walls along concentric circles so that they form pairs of contacts, whereas the movable contact elements are disposed on the surfaces of the carrier disk along the corresponding concentric circles, said disk being disposed inside the housing in such a manner that its axis of rotation passes transversely to the longitudinal axis of the switch, being the centre of said concentric circles. Thus, said movable contact elements can bridge the distance between respective pairs of stationary contact elements when said disk is turned under the action of the switching mechanism which determines the angular position of the disk.
