Patent ID: 7145087

Claim:
A multi-instruction switch, comprising: a control disk having an opening on an upper side and a first conductive element located on a lower side that is rotated synchronously with the control disk; an anchor member which rotates relative to the control disk and has an anchor trough in the center and a terminal connector, the terminal connector including a common terminal, a first terminal, at least one second terminal and a third terminal, the first terminal and the second terminal having respectively at least one contact zone and one non-contact zone, the first conductive element being connected to the common terminal in normal conditions, and connected alternately to the contact zone and non-contact zone of the first terminal and the second terminal to generate a plurality of instruction signals; and a depressing element which corresponds to the opening and the anchor trough, and includes a second conductive element on a lower side, and is movable up and down relative to the anchor member and the control disk so that the second conductive element is connected to the common terminal in the normal conditions, the second conductive element being connected to the third terminal through compression of the depressing element to generate another instruction signal.
