Abstract
A rotary switch assembly (100; 200) is disclosed. The assembly may include a dial assembly (102; 202) having a main body (150; 250) disposed about a centre aperture (132; 232). The main body may be rotatable about a central axis (126; 226) in both a clockwise (106; 206) and counter clockwise direction (108; 208). The dial assembly includes a projecting member (138; 238) extending outward from the main body. The assembly includes a switch (114; 214) having an actuator (156; 256) moveable between a first position (158; 258) and a second position (160; 260). The actuator is positioned such that when the dial assembly is rotated clockwise, the projecting member moves the actuator to the first position, and when rotated counter clockwise, the projecting member moves the actuator to the second position.
