Abstract
Steering column switches for motor vehicles having a switch housing and an operating lever are known, which operating lever is swivellably mounted about an axis in the switch housing and which comprises a control grip rotatable about an axis of rotation extending in the longitudinal direction of the operating lever and which control grip is movable between at least two operating positions, and a switching rod at least substantially aligned in the longitudinal direction of the operating lever and substantially rotatable about the longitudinal axis via the control grip and via which switching rod at least one electric contact accommodated in the switch housing is movable. In most cases the motorcar manufacturers desire particular angles of rotation between the individual operating positions of the control grip. These angles of rotation are not always favorable for operating the electric contact. It is therefore provided according to the invention that in a twisting motion of the control grip about a particular angle of rotation out of operating position into an adjacent one the switching rod is rotatable about an angle of rotation which is different from the angle of rotation of the control grip.
