At the same time causes the pointed sealing means by its circumferential extent around the opening and around the opening of the housing a reliable seal of the interior of the housing.
Das Kontaktmittel ist derart innerhalb der Öffnung des Gehäuses angeordnet dass zwischen dem Kontaktmittel und dem Gehäuse ein Freiraum besteht, so dass das Kontaktmittel beabstandet zum Gehäuse im Bereich der Öffnung ausgerichtet ist. Wird eine entsprechende Druckkraft auf das Tastenelement ausgeübt, bewegt sich das Tastenelement mit seinem Kontaktmittel innerhalb der Öffnung in Richtung des elektrischen Bauelementes. Bei einer entsprechenden Aktivierung des elektrischen Bauelementes wird der Freiraum zwischen dem Kontaktmittel und dem Gehäuse kleiner. Der Freiraum bietet somit dem Kontaktmittel ausreichenden Bewegungsraum. Bei Aktivierung des elektrischen Bauelementes kommt das Kontaktmittel am Gehäuse zum Anliegen und somit ist bei einem betätigten Tastenelement kein Freiraum mehr vorhanden. In beiden beschriebenen Fällen wird über den Freiraum, der bei einem unbetätigtem Tastenelement vorliegt, ein gutes Haptikverhalten des Tastenelementes für den Benutzer bereitgestellt.The contact means is arranged within the opening of the housing that there is a space between the contact means and the housing, so that the contact means is spaced from the housing in the region of the opening aligned. If a corresponding pressure force is exerted on the key element, the key element moves with its contact means within the opening in the direction of the electrical component. With a corresponding activation of the electrical component, the free space between the contact means and the housing becomes smaller. The space thus offers the contact means sufficient space for movement. Upon activation of the electrical component, the contact means comes to rest on the housing and thus no clearance is available in an actuated key element. In both cases described, a good haptic behavior of the key element is provided to the user via the free space present in an unactuated key element.
Der Träger ist aus einem ersten Material und das Tastenelement aus einem zweiten Material, wobei das erste Material einen ersten Kunststoff aufweist und das zweite Material einen zweiten Kunststoff aufweist, wobei der erste Kunststoff einen größeren mechanischen Widerstand hat als der zweite Kunststoff. Das zweite Material kann ein Silikon, ein thermoplastisches Polymer, insbesondere ein Material aus TPE oder beispielsweise aus TPU sein.The carrier is made of a first material and the key element of a second material, wherein the first material comprises a first plastic and the second material comprises a second plastic, wherein the first plastic has a greater mechanical resistance than the second plastic. The second material may be a silicone, a thermoplastic polymer, in particular a material of TPE or for example of TPU.
Vorteilhafterweise weist das Tastenelement an seiner Außenseite einen Schutzlack auf. Dieser Schutzlack kann gegen Witterungsverhältnisse, Verkratzungen, etc. schützend wirken.Advantageously, the key element on its outside a protective lacquer. This protective varnish can have a protective effect against weather conditions, scratching, etc.
Um eine möglichst schnelle Montage und sichere Halterung zu erhalten, empfiehlt es sich, dass der Durchbruch mit einer schrägen Gleitfläche ausgeführt ist, wobei während der Befestigung des Montagebauteils am Gehäuse das Rastelement entlang der Gleitfläche verfährt und elastisch verformt wird. Das Rastelement kann ebenfalls mit korrespondierenden Gleitflächen ausgeführt sein, die während der Montage an den Gleitflächen des Durchbruches des Gehäuses entlang gleiten. Über die Aufbringung einer gewissen Kraft während der Befestigung des Montagebauteils an das Gehäuse erfolgt eine elastische Verformung des Rastelementes, wobei das Rastelement entlang der schrägen Gleitfläche des Gehäuses entlang fährt und sich verformt. Ist das Montagebauteil entsprechend tief in der Aufnahme des Gehäuses eingesetzt, schnappt das Rastelement wieder zurück, wobei es eine Wandung des Gehäuses hintergreift und eine zuverlässige Befestigung des Montagebauteils am Gehäuse bewirkt.In order to obtain the fastest possible assembly and secure mounting, it is recommended that the opening is designed with an oblique sliding surface, wherein during the attachment of the mounting component on the housing, the locking element moves along the sliding surface and is elastically deformed. The locking element may also be designed with corresponding sliding surfaces which slide during assembly on the sliding surfaces of the opening of the housing along. About the application of a certain force during the attachment of the mounting member to the housing is an elastic deformation of the locking element, wherein the locking element along the inclined sliding surface of the housing moves along and deformed. If the mounting component is inserted correspondingly deep in the receptacle of the housing, the latching element snaps back, wherein it engages behind a wall of the housing and causes a reliable attachment of the mounting component to the housing.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Vorrichtung ein ID-Geber für eine schlüssellose Aktivierung einer Schließvorrichtung eines Kraftfahrzeuges.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the device is an ID transmitter for a keyless activation of a locking device of a motor vehicle.
