Abstract (en)

An assembly (1) comprising a switch device (3) and a housing (5), said switch device being disposed relatively to the housing and comprising: - a switch (30), - a plunger (20), said plunger extending along a first longitudinal axis (A), - a knob (10) pivotally connected to the housing (5) such that the knob (10) pivots around a first rotational axis (C), said knob (10) having an actuation zone M which is remote from the first longitudinal axis (A), said knob (10) remaining in contact with said plunger (20) at any position of the knob (10), wherein a manual compression of the knob (10) in a first direction around the first rotational axis (C) on said actuation zone M causes the knob (10) to move at a first speed from a first position to a second position in which the plunger (20) actuates the switch (30), said manual compression of the knob (10) causing the plunger (20) to move at a second speed lower than the first speed of the knob (10).
