Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0626705A2] A switch housing for plural switches is formed of thermoplastic molded in a first stage with grooves or recesses. In a second stage molding process, the grooves are filled with platable thermoplastic which is subsequently plated with copper, nickel, or silver to provide conductive strips and exposed contact areas. A common switch actuator is slidably and rotatably mounted on the housing. Upon pushing the actuator is latched to actuate a switch; and, upon subsequent pushing the actuator is unlatched and the switch de-actuated. Upon rotation of the actuators, independently of the push-to-actuate movement, a second rotary switch is actuated. Both switches employ the two-stage molding and plating for forming integrally with the housing and the stationary contacts.
