Electric toggle switch or rocker switch, e.g. for motor vehicle, has electric motor connected to rocker arm and rotationally or rockably mounted in common bearing, to provide e.g. tactile feedback

摘要

The switch includes an operating member formed as a rocker arm (14), which operates a switching device (12). An electric motor (16) comprises a rotationally mounted rotor (32). The operating member is connected to the rotor and thereby rotationally or rockably mounted in common with the rotor. The switch may be formed as a press-key. An independent claim is included for a method of signaling the switching state of a switching device.
