Abstract

Vorgeschlagen wird eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines elektrischen Kontaktes, insbesondere tut die Anordnung in Kraftfahrzeuglenkrädern, mit einem ersten, im wesentlichen feststehenden Kontaktelement, einem zweiten, gegen eine Rückstellkraft beweglichen Kontaktelement sowie mit einer Betätigungseinrichtung.
Die Vorrichtung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Kontaktelemente (1, 2) aus langgestreckten draht- oder bandförmigen Materialabschnitten bestehen, die in einem Käfig (3) parallel zueinander definiert beabstandet gehalten werden, wobei in Längsrichtung gesehen abwechselnd Bereiche (4) starrer Abstandshalterung und Bereiche (5) vorgesehen sind, in denen das zweite Kontaktelement (2) mittels einer Betätigungseinrichtung (6) unter elastischer Verformung des Materialabschnitts gegen das erste Kontaktelement (1) andrückbar ist.
