  • Patent number: 7450108
    Abstract: The invention relates to an operating unit, especially for operating a multimedia system in a motor vehicle, comprising an operating element that can be rotated about an axis (z), that can be moved along said axis of rotation (z) and that can be locked in a position (0, 1) on said axis (z). The operating element can also be moved on an plane (x, y) that is orthogonal relative to said axis (z) in order to control the movement of a cursor that can be shown on a display in any given direction.

  • Patent number: 4888970
    Abstract: A key unit includes a transmitter for remote actuation of a lock and, in a common housing, a mechanical key for mechanical operation of the lock. The mechanical key is held within a key compartment in the housing and, when a trigger button is depressed, pivots to an outwardly extending working position on a circular bearing portion. The cover of the housing is held to the lower portion at one location by a bayonet connection which enables the cover to be pivoted to a position for access to the battery compartment in which batteries are contained for the transmitter. A lock connection spaced from the bayonet connection couples the cover to the lower housing portion when closed, and a removable locking screw is provided to hold the cover in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 4756105
    Abstract: The invention is based on the object of executing the contacting and fastening of a display element, particularly for a LCD (liquid crystal display), with an arranagement that is simple to execute in terms of production engineering. The display element is illuminated from behind by a light box. To this end, a contact element is allocated to every contact of the display element, this contact element being fashioned as a punched sheet metal part and being secured in a contact receptacle of the light box.
