  • Publication number: 20240132136
    Abstract: An operating input device for a vehicle and to a steering input device is disclosed. The operating input device has an upper part having an operating input surface with an input area associated with an operating function, and a lower part serving as a support structure for the upper part. The upper part is relatively movable to the lower part by an operating input force applied on the operating input surface in an operating input direction extending substantially perpendicular to the operating input surface. For generating a haptic feedback, the upper part and the lower part are coupled movably relative to each other such that by a feedback actuation mechanism, which is couplable to the operating input device, the upper part is movable relatively to the lower part at least in a first haptic feedback generating direction extending at least substantially parallel to the operating input surface.

  • Patent number: 11066091
    Abstract: An operating apparatus for operating at least one electrical appliance in a motor vehicle may include an operating element, a rocker that may actuate a switching element using a rocker movement initiated by an actuation of the operating element, at least one connector between the operating element and the rocker, the at least one connector being a vertical pin connector, and a circuit board which may include a first side and a second side. The first side may include a switching element that switches when the operating element is actuated. The circuit board may be arranged between the operating element and the switching element so that the first side faces away from the operating element and the second side, lying opposite the first side, faces the operating element.

  • Publication number: 20200079416
    Abstract: The invention relates to an operating apparatus (3) for operating at least one electrical appliance (6) in a motor vehicle (1), comprising an operating element (4) and comprising a circuit board (11) with a first side (12), on which a switching element (14) is arranged, wherein the switching element (14) is switchable when the operating element (4) is actuated, wherein the circuit board (11) is arranged between the operating element (4) and the switching element (14) such that the first side (12) of the circuit board (11) faces away from the operating element (4) and a second side (13), lying opposite the first side (12), faces the operating element (4), and the operating apparatus (3) has a separate rocker element (20) which, depending on actuation of the operating element (4), is embodied to actuate the switching element (14) by a rocker movement (28) initiated by said actuation of the operating element.
