Abstract: A switching control arrangement, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a movable actuating surface that interacts with a displacement element in such a way that the actuating surface can be moved substantially linearly, over at least one distance, out of an initial position and into an actuating position. The displacement element has at least one elastic element arranged so as to be clamped in place. The actuating position can be designed as a switching position, such that the actuating surface, when in the switching position, has a switching effect on a switching element, a sensor, or the like. The elastic element is designed as a planar element with a small thickness in the form of a membrane, such that it is possible for the elastic element to be elastically deflected substantially perpendicularly to the surface of the membrane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switching-operation arrangement for a motor vehicle, having a movable actuating surface. The actuating surface has an extent along a first axis and a second axis, which are located perpendicularly to one another. The actuating surface interacts with a displacement means such that the actuating surface can be moved linearly, in the direction of a third axis (z), by at least one distance from a starting position into an actuating position, the third axis (z) being located perpendicularly to the first and second axes. The actuating position is in the form of a switching position and acts with switching action on a switching element or a sensor. The displacement means includes a guide means for guiding the actuating surface along the first axis and at least one braced-in elastic element for guiding the actuating surface along the second axis.

Abstract: A switching operator control arrangement for a motor vehicle. A movable operating area interacts with a shifting device in such a way that the operating area can be moved in a substantially linear manner over at least one distance from a neutral position to an operating position. The operating position can be in the form of a switching position in such a way that the operating area has a switching action on a switching element, a sensor or the like in the switching position. The shifting device includes a rocking lever arrangement which can move in parallel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switching-operation arrangement for a motor vehicle, having a movable actuating surface. The actuating surface has an extent along a first axis and a second axis, which are located perpendicularly to one another. The actuating surface interacts with a displacement means such that the actuating surface can be moved essentially linearly, in the direction of a third axis (z), by at least one distance from a starting position into an actuating position, the third axis (z) being located essentially perpendicularly to the first and second axes. The actuating position is in the form of a switching position and acts with switching action on a switching element or a sensor. The displacement means comprises a guide means for guiding the actuating surface along the first axis. The displacement means also comprises at least one braced-in elastic element for guiding the actuating surface along the second axis.

Abstract: In order to improve the readability of analog or digital display units (2a, 2b, 3) arranged in a combination instrument, 1 that either at least one of the display units (2a, 2b, 3) can be pivoted about at least one spatial axis (X, X1, X2, X′, Y, Y1, Y2, Y′) by a drive arranged in the combination instrument (1), 2 or that at least the front side of the housing of the combination instrument (1) is subdivided into a plurality of subregions (A, B, C), and that at least one of these subregions (A, B or C) can be pivoted together with the display units (2a, 2b, 3) integrated in it.

Abstract: For an arrangement for illuminating a display device with a dial 1, the rear side of the dial 1 being opaque over its entire surface area with the exception of a transmitted-light region 2 and this transmitted-light region 2 serving for the forming of a scale, there is on the rear side of the dial 1 a reflector shell 3, the shaping of which is such that the light radiated from a light-emitting diode 4 against a reflector wall 5 is diffusely distributed over the transmitted-light region 2 of the dial 1.
