Abstract
A stepped stroke button includes a transmission unit having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; an operating unit arranged at the first end; and a contact unit arranged at the second end and axially guided in a first guide. At least one of the operating unit and the contact unit is configured to be axially movable with respect to the transmission unit, wherein during operation of the stepped stroke button, an operating stroke occurring relative to the first guide is configured differently from a mediated contact stroke occurring relative to the first guide. The ratio of the operating stroke to the contact stroke is greater than 1:1 and the operating stroke is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm.

A stepped stroke button comprising:
- a transmission unit having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- an operating unit arranged at the first end;
- and
- a contact unit arranged at the second end and axially guided in a first guide,
- at least one of the operating unit and the contact unit being configured to be axially movable with respect to the transmission unit,
- wherein, during operation of the stepped stroke button, an operating stroke occurring relative to the first guide is configured differently from a mediated contact stroke occurring relative to the first guide, the ratio of the operating stroke to the contact stroke being greater than 1:1,
- wherein a first restoring unit acts at least indirectly on the contact unit and the operating unit, and
- a second restoring unit acts at least indirectly on the operating unit, wherein the second restoring unit is configured as an elastic bellows arranged between the operating unit and the housing.
A stepped stroke button comprising:
- a transmission unit having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- an operating unit arranged at the first end;
- and
- a contact unit arranged at the second end and axially guided in a first guide,
- at least one of the operating unit and the contact unit being configured to be axially movable with respect to the transmission unit,
- wherein, during operation of the stepped stroke button, an operating stroke occurring relative to the first guide is configured differently from a mediated contact stroke occurring relative to the first guide, the ratio of the operating stroke to the contact stroke being greater than 1:1,
- wherein a first restoring unit acts at least indirectly on the contact unit and the operating unit,
- a second restoring unit acts at least indirectly on the operating unit,
- further comprising a housing having a first and a second housing part, wherein the first guide, the contact unit, the first restoring unit, the transmission unit, and the operating unit are accommodated in the first housing part and the second restoring unit is accommodated in the second housing part.
