Abstract: A haptic operating device particularly for motor vehicles, having a touch panel having at least one touch-sensitive area. When the area is touched, a switching signal can be triggered and the touch panel can be activated by a motion drive to be able to move at a certain rhythm in the plane of the touch panel. The touch panel is connected to a fixed support by one or more flexible connecting elements. The support and the touch panel form two housing parts of a closed housing, in which at least the display device or the display plane thereof is arranged, and are connected to each other by a sealing device so as to be able to move relative to each other in the plane of the touch panel or in a plane parallel to the touch panel.

Abstract: A capacitive proximity switch having a display panel including a translucent region. A first circuit board is translucent to light at least in the region of the translucent region of the display panel and supports capacitance-forming sensor layers. Light wells enclose the sensor layers on the side facing away from the observer, and protrude from the first circuit board to a second circuit board parallel to the first circuit board. Light sources are disposed within the light wells. A contact element leads from the first circuit board to the second circuit board. Optical fibers are applied on the first circuit board in the region of the translucent region. The first circuit board is encapsulated by an opaque plastic functional carrier. An opaque decorative layer covers the observer side of the optical fibers and the functional carrier, and includes characters and/or symbols in the region of the translucent region.

Abstract: A drive unit for a radial blower has an electric motor including a driven shaft with a bearing for said driven shaft, and a motor housing provided with bearing pins which coaxially project at an end side of the motor housing and surrounds the bearing, a housing which receives the electric motor and has holders engaged in the bearing pins, at least one damping element composed of an elastic material and inserted between one of the bearing pins and one of the holders to radially and axially support the electric motor, the damping element being composed of a plurality of roller bodies having radially oriented body axes, the roller bodies being offset relative to one another and connected with one another with substantially constant distances there between.
