  • Patent number: 8994758
    Abstract: An adjusting mechanism for a vehicle with an adjusting device that serves for adjusting a desired operating parameter and can assume adjusting positions between a minimum value and a maximum value, and with a display area for displaying the currently adjusted position. Each region of the display area can assume a first and at least a second display state. The two display states can be distinguished by different, respectively active light emissions that lie in the visible range. The relative surface area of a first segment of the display area that coherently assumes the first display state and the relative surface area of a second segment of the display area that coherently assumes the second display state are defined by the currently adjusted position of the adjusting mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20110141761
    Abstract: An illuminating device is provided for an adjusting mechanism adapted to adjust an operating parameter in a vehicle, with a light-transmitting material that extends along the direction of extension and emits light visible to the user in a first and a second section. In order to realize the transition area between the two light-emitting sections concise and such that it can be easily recognized by the user, it is proposed that the light-transmitting material features a light-transmitting transition area with reduced material thickness between the first and the second section referred to the direction of extension.
