  • the injection molding method may be a common method in which a plastic-containing material is injected into a mold which forms the three-dimensional contour of the auxiliary operation member.
  • the injection-molded additional actuating element can be aftertreated in a subsequent process step, for example by deburring.
  • the additional operating element can be used in a self-contained radio switch described above.
  • the method steps may be repeated or performed in a different order than described.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément d'actionnement supplémentaire et un procédé de production d'un élément d'actionnement supplémentaire. L'élément d'actionnement supplémentaire (1) comprend une section de fixation (10) permettant de fixer l'élément d'actionnement supplémentaire (1) sur un commutateur (2) et une section d'actionnement (20) présentant une section d'application de force (22) permettant d'appliquer une force d'actionnement sur l'élément d'actionnement supplémentaire (1) et une section de transmission d'énergie (26) permettant de transmettre la force d'actionnement appliquée sur un composant (5) du commutateur (2). La section de fixation (10) et la section d'actionnement (20) sont reliées l'une à l'autre au moyen d'une section courbée (30) située entre ces dernières. L'élément d'actionnement supplémentaire (1) se caractérise par le fait que l'élément d'actionnement supplémentaire (1) comprend un élément d'amortissement (40) qui surmonte au moins en partie la section courbée (30) et qui est relié à la section de fixation (10), à la section d'actionnement (20) ou à la section courbée (30) et à une section restante de ces sections (10 ; 20) ne présentant pas la section courbée (30) ou qui repose par une extrémité libre sur cette section restante (10, 20).
