Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19601985A1] The invention relates to a switch, preferably a steering column switch with a actuation member pushed to substantially slide across the contact sections (2, 3) secured to the housing. The object of the invention is to provide a steering column switch which, with small dimensions, permanently ensures a good level of contact between the contacts to be connected to each other. The object is attained by ramps (5, 21, 22) which lift the contact bridge (6) in the transition area. Further advantageous developments describe the design of the ramps (5, 21, 22), the strip conductor (4) and the contact bridge (6).
