Abstract

See full text

An electric switch for operating a windshield wiper and washer apparatus of a motor vehicle has a housing in which a switching member for operating the wipers in a selected operation mode is swivelably mounted from a neutral position around a first axis to at least one operational position and a switch lever which, for operating the washer from a neutral position into an operational position, is swivelably mounted on the switching member around a second axis preferably perpendicularly intersecting the first axis. By a single actuation, it is possible by switching on the washer to also switch on the wipers. Therefore, in the first neutral position of the switching member, the switch lever, when being swiveled around the second axis into an operation position, is compulsorily swivelable together with the switching member around the first axis to such an extent that, after release of the switch lever, the switch lever reaches, together with the switching member, slide into a second position of the switching member.
