A push switch and a motor vehicle in which such a push switch is used. The push switch has a push cap, a baseplate, a switch element which is actuatable by the push cap, a first lever, and a second lever. The first lever and the second lever are mounted rotatably on the baseplate by means of bearing blocks and are each connected movably to the push cap at a first lever end. At a second lever end, the first lever and the second lever are connected movably to one another. The first lever and the second lever are designed such that they form mass compensation for the push cap.

A push-button switch and a transportation vehicle in which the disclosed push-button switch is inserted. The push-button switch has a keycap, a base plate, a switching element, a first lever and a second lever. The first lever and the second lever are each mounted for rotation on the base plate by a pivot bearing and are each movably connected to the keycap at a first lever end. The first lever and the second lever are movably connected to one another at a second lever end. The switching element is arranged on the keycap so the switching element is actuated by the second lever end of the first lever or by the second lever end of the second lever.

A method of and system for injection molding is shown. The method can include the positioning one or more metal components in a mold, aligning a film for transferring an image from the film onto a surface of a plastic component, injecting a material into the mold to form the plastic component such that the metal component will be embedded in the plastic component and transferring the image from the film onto the surface of the plastic component that has the embedded metal component. The method can also include the removing the transferred image from the metal component if at least a portion of the transferred image adheres to the metal component.

System for injection molding

A connector and a system for connectors of a mobile device wherein the connector is angled, that is, wherein the connector includes an external interface for receiving an external connection and an internal interface configured for connection to a printed circuit board, wherein the internal interface is connected to the external interface and the internal interface is at a predetermined angle with respect to the external interface. In a mobile device, the external interface is at an angle to a main printed circuit board of the mobile device.
