Abstract
A windshield wiper switch which comprises a push switch portion for controlling the spouting of windshield washer liquid by operating a push knob, a rotary switch portion for operating a windshield wiper at a plurality of rates, depending upon positions to which a rotor is rotated, and an adjusting system for positioning the rotor in the positions. Cams are provided in the push knob and the rotor, respectively, and when the push knob is pushed to operate while the position of the rotor is in a STOP position, the cams come into contact with each other so as to rotate the rotor in a LO position. Further, projected stoppers for preventing the rotor from rotating further are provided in the push knob and the rotor, respectively.
