Actuator switch for remote control rearview mirrors

A reversing switch structure for selected reversing control of two drive vectors comprising:

• a non-conducting tubular elongate switch body having longitudinal guide slots in the walls thereof in opposed spaced apart registry and having a central lobed aperture, said aperture having interconnected lobes in similar-sense registry to said guide slots;
• a non-conducting base closure plate closing the end of said switch body opposite said lobed aperture and said closure plate having four contactors, each in radial aligned spaced apart relation to said slots and a central contactor in spaced central radial relation to said four contactors;
• an octagonal sided contactor ring fitted inside said switch body and resting on closure plate in spaced apart perimeter relation to said four contactor posts and said central contactor;
• a conducting lead from each of said contactors, from said central contactor and from said contactor ring and radially extending from said platform;
• an elongate operating handle extending through said aperture in said body;
• a non-conducting switch plate connected to said handle and movable thereby and guidably poised for limited tilting by impingement in said slots and said lobes;
• and
• spring loaded conducting sleeves in contact register with said four contactors and supported by said switch plate, said switch plate selectively movable by manual operation of said handle so as to result in contact of one of said contactors through said one of said sleeves to said center contactor and contact of the opposite of said contactors through an opposite one of said sleeves to contact with said contactor ring in accord with any guided movement of said handle and said switch plate in four extreme positions.
