Switch element, e.g. for use in the motor vehicles, has identical latching element force acting on latching curve for given lever position for various switch lever lengths

The device has a housing (2) within which a switch lever (5) pivotable about at least one axis (9) is mounted and guided via a sprung latching element (18) in a region of a latching curve (20). The force of the latching element acting on the latching curve is essentially identical for a given lever...

Summary:The device has a housing (2) within which a switch lever (5) pivotable about at least one axis (9) is mounted and guided via a sprung latching element (18) in a region of a latching curve (20). The force of the latching element acting on the latching curve is essentially identical for a given lever position for various switch lever lengths. The length of the switching lever can be continuously varied between a maximum and a minimum length. Schaltelement mit einem Gehäuse, innerhalb dessen ein um mindestens eine Achse schwenkbarer Schalthebel angeordnet ist, der über ein federnd gelagertes Rastelement im Bereich einer Rastkurve geführt ist, wobei die jeweilige Anpreßkraft des Rastelementes an die Rastkurve bei gleicher Stellung des Schalthebels in Bezug auf unterschiedliche Hebellängen des Schalthebels im wesentlichen gleich ist.
