Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0115186A1] The invention relates to a switch to be mounted on a design element in the passenger room of a motor vehicle. Said switch comprises a haptic element that functions as the mechanical operational and visual element, electrical and/or electronic switch elements that are mounted on a flexible conductor element and optionally further electrical and electronic components. The switch is further characterized in that the zone (20) of the flexible conductor element (2, 2a, 2b) which carries the switch elements (21, 21', 22, 22', 23, 24, 24') and the allocated zone (operational element (11)) of the haptic element (1, 1', 1'') are configured such that the corresponding zones (11, 20) can be positioned and fixated in relation to one another and do not comprise means that establish a permanent electrical connection.
