Embodiment Construction

[0022] In FIG. 1 , the switch is designated as a whole with reference numeral 2 . The switch has an elongated operating element 4 which can be actuated by an operator at its free end, not shown in FIG. 1 .

[0023] The operating element 4 has a switching element 6 on its front end. The switching element and the operating element are fixedly connected to each other and can also be formed in one piece with each other.

[0024] The actuating element 4 is supported by means of a universal joint 10 at a support point designated as a whole by 8 . The universal joint 10 has a housing 12 surrounding the operating element 4 . Arranged on the housing are two bearing journals 14 which delimit a first pivot axis 15 of the operating element 4 . The bearing journal 14 is accommodated in a housing section of the switch 2 which is not further shown.

[0025] Furthermore, the operating element can be pivoted about a pivot axis 17 extending perpendicularly to the pivot axis 15 . The swivel...

Abstract

The invention relates to a switch (2), in particular steering-columns for motor vehicles, having a housing (20) and having a switching component (6) which is retained in a movable manner in the housing (20) and can be influenced via an actuating member (4), the switching component (6) having a guide (38) which encloses a control part (24), the control part (24) interacting with a housing-mounted cam (22), and an elastic ring element (36) being arranged between the guide (38) and the control part (24).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a switch, in particular a steering column switch for a motor vehicle, having a housing, a switching element held displaceably in the housing and capable of being acted upon via an operating element, wherein the switching element has a guide element surrounding the control element , wherein the control element cooperates with the control cam on the housing side. Background technique [0002] Such switches are used in many technical fields. For example, different functions of a lighting system, a turn signal system and / or a windshield wiper system can be implemented using such a switch, which is preferably used in a motor vehicle. In order to realize these functions, the switching element is brought into different functional positions via the operating element. These functional locations can be formed in a push-button and / or snap-in manner. Depending on the functional position, the functional part to which the switching part i...
