Abstract:
A system for controlling turn and hazard indication light signals of a vehicle, comprising:(a) a holder frame;(b) an actuating device displaceably coupled to said holder frame for displacement between a first position and one of a pair of second positions, said actuating device including a conductor plate displaceable therewith;(c) a pair of direction signal switch devices coupled to said holder frame for respectively activating a selected turn indication light signal of the vehicle responsive to said actuating device being displaced to a corresponding one of said pair of second positions;(d) an independently actuable hazard signal switch device for activating the hazard indication light signal of the vehicle; and,(e) a contact switch device coupled to said holder frame and having a plurality of contacts contacted by said conductor plate when said actuating device is in said first position, said hazard signal switch device being electrically coupled to said plurality of contacts to selectively enable and disable a power connection to said hazard signal switch device, said contact switch device being enabled to couple power to said hazard signal switch device responsive to said actuating device being in said first position, said conductor plate being displaced from contact with said plurality of contacts responsive to said actuating device being displaced to one of said pair of second positions for activating a selected turn indication light signal and interrupting power to hazard signal switch device;whereby activation of the selected turn indication light signal interrupts activation of the hazard indication light signal.
