In an actuating assembly () for a control element in a vehicle, in particular for a steering column stalk (), having an actuating element () that is adapted to be shifted in an actuating direction (B), and a seat () in which the actuating element () is supported for being shifted hi the actuating direction (B) between a basic position and at least one actuation position, at least one separate spring element () is provided between the seat () and the actuating element () and presses on the actuating element () by a spring force (F) acting substantially transversely to the actuating direction (B).

Actuating assembly for an operating element, steering column switch, and steering column assembly

In a switch, particularly a window lifter switch, with a housing, a switching rocker which is mounted in the housing and is associated with electrical contacts, and with a button which is likewise mounted in the housing, the button is acted upon elastically so that it is mounted free from play in the housing.

Switch, particularly window lifter switch

A multifunctional pushbutton switch for a vehicle steering wheel has a plurality of pushbutton switching units that have pushbutton surfaces located close to each other in a shared operating surface. The switch has a shared switch housing in which actuation tappets of the pushbutton switching units are movably guided, and a cap mounted over the actuation tappets and onto the switch housing. The cap is made by means of a two-component injection-molding technique and consists of a relatively rigid plastic frame with recessed windows each of a shape and size that corresponds to the circumference of one of the pushbutton surfaces and of a silicone membrane extending over the recessed windows.
