Abstract: |
A switch assembly for an electric system for a motor vehicle such as a motorcycle including an ignition circuit and a starting motor circuit. A first switching member is disposed in the ignition circuit for controlling an operation of a ignition system. A second switching member is disposed in the starting motor circuit, for controlling a current for a starting motor. An interrelating member is provided between the first and second switching members so that the first switching member is necessarily switched to a switch position for actuating the ignition system when the second switching member is operated to actuate the starting motor.

What is claimed is:
1. A switch assembly for an electric system for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a housing;
- an ignition circuit;
- a starting motor circuit;
- a first switch means operatively connected to said ignition circuit for alternatively enabling and disabling an operation of an ignition system;
- a second switch means operatively connected to said starting motor circuit, for alternatively enabling and disabling a supply of current to a starting motor; and
- said first and second switch means including operating knobs projecting outwardly from said housing, said knob of said first switch means and the knob of the second switch means are arranged up and down in the housing relative to each other with the second switch knob being positioned below the first switch knob;
- an interrelating means for providing an interrelation between said first and second switch means so that said first switch means is necessarily switched to a position for actuating said ignition system when said second switching means is operated to actuate said starting motor, said first switch being operatively connected to a latch mechanism which is released when said second switch is operated.
