Steering column switch for a motor vehicle

A steering column switch, comprising:

• a switch lever;
• a switch body pivotable about a first axis;
• the switch lever being pivotably mounted in the switch body so that the switch lever is pivotable about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis;
• a slide mounted on the switch body so that the slide linearly displaces parallel to the first axis in correspondence with swiveling movements of the switch lever about the second axis;
• and
• a magnet fixedly connected to the slide so that the magnet moves together with the slide parallel to the first axis in correspondence with swiveling movements of the switch lever about the second axis, and the magnet moves together with the switch body about the first axis in correspondence with swiveling movements of the switch body about the first axis.

A steering column switch for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a switch lever pivotable in two mutually perpendicular directions;
• a switch body pivotable about a first axis;
• the switch lever having an end piece, the end piece of the switch lever being pivotably mounted in the switch body so that the switch lever is pivotable about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, the end piece of the switch lever bearing a spring-loaded latching sleeve that is engageable into a detent cam at different positions;
• a slide mounted on the switch body so that the slide is linearly displaceable parallel to the first axis and follows movement of the switch lever about the second axis;
• and
• a magnet and a magnet sensor that are positionable relative to one another via movements of the switch lever, the magnet sensor being fixedly connected to the slide and swivels together with the switch body during swivel movements of the switch body about the first axis.
