Abstract
A shuttle switch assembly for performing both functions of shuttle and mode is disclosed. The assembly comprises a circuit board. A main base is formed on the circuit board. The main base has a stator protrusively formed at the inner center of the main base and a shuttle axis rotatably formed around the stator. A holder is inserted in the shuttle axis and the holder is provided with a guiding hole having a predetermined length at a side of a periphery of the holder. A dome plate includes a plurality of dome switches on an upper side of the dome plate and the dome plate is installed on the holder; a guiding bracket positioned on an upper portion of the dome plate. The guiding bracket is combined with the holder and is provided with holes which correspond to the dome switches on the dome plate. A shuttle knob is combined with the guiding bracket and is provided with contacting apparatus on a bottom of the shuttle knob. The contacting apparatus is formed correspondingly to the dome switches to press the dome switches on the dome plate after passing the holes of the guiding bracket. Various function modes can be installed and productivity is increased.
