Abstract:
1. An integral volume control and switch assembly comprising a base plate being penetrable by first and second conductive switch legs, the base plate further supporting a resilient conductive member adapted to establish an electrical connection between the first and second conductive switch legs in a first switch state of the assembly, and adapted to break said electrical connection in a second switch state, a variable resistance means responsive to an angular position of a rotatable member, the variable resistance means being electrically connected between third and fourth conductive legs, and a resilient tactile member adapted to provide a tactile feedback to a user at a predetermined angular position of the rotatable member, to indicate to the user, a change between the first and second switch states, wherein the resilient tactile member is electrically separate from the electrical connection between the first and second conductive switch legs.
