Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schalterkombination zur Betätigung von Fensterhebern. Dabei sollen wahlweise zwei oder mehr Kippschalter eingesetzt werden. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine preiswerte und zuverlässig arbeitende Schalterkombination vorzuschlagen. Die Erfindung besteht im Prinzip darin, einzelne Schalterbaugruppen, zu denen die Schaltwippe (20), ein Diodenhalter (29) und ein Anschlußstecker (5) gehören können, auf eine Leiterplatte (4) aufzurasten. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung beschäftigen sich mit der gegenseitigen Abstützung und Kombination der Baugruppen und der Verbesserung der Abdichtung gegen Feuchtigkeit bei Einbau der Schalterkombination in die Türarmlehnen.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a switch combination for actuating window regulators. Two or more toggle switches should be used. The object of the invention is to propose an inexpensive and reliable switch combination. In principle, the invention consists of snapping individual switch assemblies, which may include the rocker switch (20), a diode holder (29) and a connector (5), onto a printed circuit board (4). Advantageous further developments of the invention deal with the mutual support and combination of the assemblies and the improvement of the seal against moisture when the switch combination is installed in the door armrests.
