Abstract
A toggle switch (1), notably a window regulator switch in a motor vehicle, comprises a switch housing (2) in which a spring-biased toggle lever (12) is arranged in at least one switching limit position and a dead-center position. The toggle lever (12) comprises at least one switch-operating lever portion (25) that actuates at least one switching assembly (20), the toggle lever (12) featuring a center projection in which a spring-loaded catch unit (18) is fitted which interacts with a cam curve (9) contingent on the position of the toggle lever (12). To reduce the overall volume of the switch housing (2) and compensate for construction-related tolerances, the switch housing comprises a receiving part (5) that is integral with it, in which the toggle lever (12) is fitted, and in which at the same time the cam curve (9) is integrated, with the receiving part (5) enclosing the at least one switching assembly (20) and the at least one switch-operating lever portion (25).
