Control element with pivotable control unit and haptically perceptible feedback before reaching the end position

摘要

The invention relates to an operating element (1), in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising: a carrier (2); an operating part (3) mounted on the carrier (2) so as to be pivotable about at least one pivot axis (A) in the opposite direction, the operating part (3) from a rest position by applying an adjusting force (FR) in at least one pivoting direction (R1, R2) is manually pivotable into an end position; means for detecting a pivoted position of the operating part (3); restoring means (5, 6), which the operating part (3) under Reset the effect of a restoring force in the rest position and the adjusting force (FR) influencing latching means (9, 10) which comprise a latching contour (10a, 10b) and a latching lug (9a, 9b) which runs on the latching contour (10a, 10b) and is prestressed in the direction of the latching contour (10a, 10b), their relative position to one another varies according to the pivoting position of the operating part (3); the latching contour (10a) has a latching elevation (11a) and is designed so that when the operating part (3) is pivoted from the rest position into the end position, the latching nose (9a 9b) overcomes the grid elevation (11a) in order to plunge into a locking depression (12a) behind the grid elevation (11a) when the end position is reached.
