Abstract:
The invention relates to a sealed, backlit keypad that comprises at least one push switch (13), a key (15) mounted on the switch (13) for moving the same along an axis (X), and a light source (161, 162) offset relative to said axis. According to the invention, the keypad also includes an integral part (12) made of an elastic material and provided between the key (15) and the switch (13). Said part (12) provides both a seal between the switch (13) and the external environment and the guiding of the light rays from the light source (161, 162) towards the key (15) in order to backlight said key (15). The part (12) may comprise a block (12a) between the key (15) and the switch (13), and a membrane (12b) surrounding the block (12a). The part (12) also provides a plunger function and increases the travel of the key (15).

Abstract:
A switch device includes: a circuit board (2) provided with a fixed contact (10); a deformable contact (3) arranged above the circuit board (2), and configured to deform and come into contact with the fixed contact (10) in response to pressure from above; a switch holding sheet (4) covering a surface of the circuit board (2) provided with the deformable contact (3), and configured to retain the deformable contact (3) on the circuit board (2); a light-guide sheet (5) placed over the switch holding sheet (4), and allowing light to pass through its inside; a light-emitting diode (7) configured to cause the light to fall incident and enter the inside of the light-guide sheet (5); and a protrusion (6) forming a gap (20) between the switch holding sheet (4) and the light-guide sheet (5) in a position corresponding to the deformable contact (3).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schalter für eine Tür, eine Klappe oder einen Türgriff eines Kraftfahrzeuges, mit einem Grundkörper (10), der eine Aufnahme (11) aufweist, einer in der Aufnahme (11) vorgesehenen ersten (31) und einer zweiten Kontaktfläche (32), einer Schnappscheibe (40), die in der Aufnahme (11) angeordnet ist und einen gewölbten Bereich (41), der oberhalb der ersten Kontaktfläche (31) liegt, und mindestens drei Auflageelemente (42) aufweist, wobei mindestens ein Auflageelement (42) die zweite Kontaktfläche (32) kontaktiert, wobei über eine Betätigung der Schnappscheibe (40) der gewölbte Bereich (41) sich elastisch verformt, sodass eine elektrische Verbindung der beiden Kontaktflächen (31, 32) erzielbar ist und somit ein Schaltsignal erzeugbar ist, wobei die zweite Kontaktfläche (32), die einen Abstand zur ersten Kontaktfläche (31) aufweist, zumindest bereichsweise um die erste Kontaktfläche (31) sich derart erstreckt, dass in jeder möglichen Position der Schnappscheibe (40) innerhalb der Aufnahme (11) zumindest ein Auflageelement (42) die zweite Kontaktfläche (32) berührt.
