Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle door switch actuating apparatus (100). The apparatus includes an actuating element (104) having an actuating surface (110), a mechanical switch (112), and a mechanism for transferring a compressive force applied by a user to the actuating surface (110) onto the mechanical switch (112) in order to flip the mechanical switch (112). The mechanism includes: a first component (102) on which the mechanical switch (112) is fixed at least in the switching direction; and a lever (120) pivotally supported about a pivot axis (124) relative to the first component (102) or the first component group and connected to the actuating element (104) via a first bearing on a first side (111) of the actuating surface (110). The actuating element (104) is supported on the first component (102) or the first component group via a second bearing on a second side (113) of the actuating surface (110). The actuating element (104) is flexibly configured such that, when manual pressure is applied to the actuating surface (110), it flexibly bends, thereby causing a change in the distance between the first bearing and the second bearing, in particular a shortening or lengthening of the distance, and thus causes the lever to pivot about the pivot axis (124). The mechanical switch (112) is arranged such that, by pivoting the lever, the mechanical switch (112) is flipped. The lever (120) extends substantially parallel to the first side (111) of the actuating surface (110).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an assembly (1) for providing a fastening possibility for a vehicle component (2), in particular an interior component, on a body component, wherein the assembly includes a connecting element (3), a retaining element (4) and a locking and/or blocking element (13). The locking and/or blocking element (13) includes a land region (31) extending in the insertion direction, wherein the land region (31) preferably includes two opposing finger and/or wing elements (32) that are radially projecting from the land region (31). A base body (5) of the retaining element (4) includes a passage (16) extending in the longitudinal direction of the base body (5), wherein the land region (31) of the locking and/or blocking element (13) is receivable with the finger or wing elements (32) projecting from the land region (31), at least partially or some areas. The passage (16) of the base body (5) of the retaining element (4) includes a first guide system (33) which is formed to guide the finger or wing elements (32) of the locking and/or blocking element (13) upon insertion of the land region into the passage (16) or into the recess of the base body (5) of the retaining element (4), and a second guide system (34) which is formed to guide the finger or wing elements (32) of the locking and/or blocking element (13) when the land region (31) is guided out of the passage (16) or out of the recess of the base body (5) of the retaining element (4).
