  • Publication number: 20220277909
    Abstract: A stepped stroke button includes a transmission unit having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; an operating unit arranged at the first end; and a contact unit arranged at the second end and axially guided in a first guide. At least one of the operating unit and the contact unit is configured to be axially movable with respect to the transmission unit, wherein during operation of the stepped stroke button, an operating stroke occurring relative to the first guide is configured differently from a mediated contact stroke occurring relative to the first guide. The ratio of the operating stroke to the contact stroke is greater than 1:1 and the operating stroke is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm.

  • Patent number: 7611163
    Abstract: Described is an interior trim part for covering an airbag, which may include a two-dimensional carrier, a surface decor and a foamed intermediate layer. A through-opening for the airbag is recessed in the carrier, and an inlay covering the through-opening is applied into the intermediate layer, such that the inlay projects beyond an edge of the through-opening on one side and there, in an overlapping region of the inlay and of the carrier, serves as a hinge for an airbag flap formed by the surface decor and the intermediate layer with the inlay. Furthermore, with a folding open of the airbag flap, an energy amount which is dependent on the intensity of an opening impact of the airbag, may be absorbed by way of a release of the intermediate layer with the inlay from the carrier, away from the edge in the overlapping region.
