Mobile device
The invention relates to a mobile device for activating an electrical component ( 50 ), especially a switch ( 50 ), which is arranged inside a housing ( 10 ), with a recess ( 13 ) provided on the housing ( 10 ), at least one elastic key element ( 31 ) accessible from the outside, which is accommodated in the recess ( 13 ), and the key element ( 31 ) has a contact means ( 32 ), wherein the contact means ( 32 ) is pointing toward the interior of the housing ( 10 ), in order to activate the electrical component ( 50 ), and a carrier ( 35 ) which holds the key element ( 31 ) on the housing ( 10 ). According to the invention, the carrier ( 35 ) and the key element ( 31 ) are made of different materials and form a common assembly unit ( 30 ) that is fastened to the housing ( 10 ).
1. A mobile device for activating an electrical component which is arranged inside a housing, comprising:
a recess provided on the housing,
at least one elastic key element accessible from the outside, which is accommodated in the recess, and the key element has a contact means, wherein the contact means is pointing toward the interior of the housing, to activate the electrical component, and
a carrier fastened directly to the housing, which holds the key element on the housing,
wherein the carrier and the key element are made of different materials and form a common assembly unit that is fastened to the housing,
wherein the carrier and the key element form a 2-piece injected molded part,
wherein the carrier further comprises a first material and the key element of a second material, while the first material has a first plastic and the second material a second plastic,
wherein the first plastic has a greater mechanical resistance than the second plastic.
2. A mobile device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the assembly unit is fastened to the housing in positive or non-positive fashion.
3. A mobile device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the carrier has at least one detent element, which also extends through a hole in the recess of the housing, and there is a clip connection between the detent element and housing.
4. A mobile device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the key element is fashioned as a key pad with a plurality of keys, each key having a contact means that is located inside an opening of the recess of the housing and extending in the direction of the electrical component.
5. A mobile device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the housing has a top part and a bottom part, the assembly unit being fastened to the top part.
6. A mobile device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the housing has a means of sealing off the interior of the housing in the region of the recess.
7. A mobile device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the means extends as a projection in the direction of the key element and penetrates into the key element by its free end.
8. A mobile device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the means is configured pointlike and encircles an opening of the recess of the housing and a hole in the recess of the housing.
9. A mobile device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the contact means is arranged inside the opening of the housing such that a free space exists between the contact means and the housing, so that the contact means is oriented at a distance from the housing.
10. A mobile device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second material is a silicone or a thermoplastic polymer.
11. A mobile device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the key element has a protective lacquer on its exterior.
12. A mobile device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a hole in the recess of the housing is designed with a slanted sliding surface, and during the fastening of the assembly unit to the housing, the detent element travels along the sliding surface and becomes elastically deformed.
13. A mobile device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the device is an ID transmitter for a keyless activation of a lock of a motor vehicle.
14. A mobile device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has a top part and a bottom part, and the assembly unit being fastened to the top part of the housing, and the contact means is arranged inside the opening of the housing such that a free space exists between the contact means and the top part, so that the contact means is oriented at a distance from the top part when the key element is not activated, and wherein the contact means comes to rest against the top part when the electrical component is activated.
