On/off switch arrangement for a pivotable display screen in a motor vehicle

An ON/OFF switch assembly for a display screen pivotably mounted within a motor vehicle, the assembly comprising:

• a rotor configured to be connected to the display screen such that the rotor pivots along with the display screen;
• an electrically conductive contactor attached to the rotor;
• and
• a base rotatably coupled to the rotor, the base including two spaced apart electrical contacts, wherein the contactor engages each of the two contacts within a first range of rotational positions of the rotor relative to the base, and the contactor does not engage each of the two electrical contacts within a second range of rotational positions of the rotor relative to the base, the base being configured to be attached to the motor vehicle.

An ON/OFF switch arrangement for a display screen pivotably mounted within a motor vehicle, the arrangement comprising:

• a retaining device configured to retain the display screen such that the display screen is pivotable relative to the motor vehicle about an axis;
• and
• a switch assembly including:
• a rotor configured to be attached to the retaining device or to the display screen;
• a base attached to the motor vehicle such that the rotor rotates about the axis relative to the base when the display screen is pivoted;
• a contactor attached to the rotor or to the base;
• and
• two spaced apart electrical contacts attached to whichever of the rotor and the base that the contactor is not attached to, wherein a level of electrical resistance between the two electrical contacts is dependent upon a rotational position of the rotor relative to the base.
