Abstract
Within electronic devices in many cases there exists a need for a manual individual actuation of several switching elements for performing an adjustment of different parameters by a single switch, especially for a pleasure appearance of a front panel and for saving place on the panel.It is an object to provide a switch for this purpose ensuring among others low costs, small size, high reliability, convenient actuation and having good properties for being mounted on a printed circuit board.The actuation means for several switching elements includes an actuating plate being pivotably mounted in a housing on two perpendicular axes and a push-button located within a central opening of said plate.
