Abstract

1475290 Mechanical switches LUCAS ELECTRICAL Ltd 27 Aug 1974 [9 Oct 1973] 47063/73 Heading H1N [Also in Divisions B7 and F2] An electric switch operable by pressure of the foot on a foot operated control 11, 12 Fig. 1 comprises a flexible cover member 13, attached to a rigid component plate 12 to enclose a member 22 of resilient insulating material containing conductive particles which conduct when compressed. The member 22 may rest on a printed circuit board having a pair of elongated circuit paths arranged to be electrically interconnected by the member 22. The switch may be used on a vehicle brake pedal to operate the stop lamp circuit. It may also be used on an accelerator pedal to function as a kick down switch for a vehicle having automatic transmission.
