Abstract
An operating device (1) for a vehicle, such as an airplane or a bus, comprises a board (4) adapted to carry electronic circuits, and at least two catch hooks (5) receiving the board (4) between them. Each of the catch hooks (5) has a contact portion (7) retaining the board (4) and a base part (6) supporting the contact portion (7). The base parts (6) of the catch hooks (5) face each other, and the contact portions (7) face away from each other. When the board (4) is loaded, the catch hooks (5) are pressed towards the respectively other catch hook which results in that the catch hooks (5) lean more and more firmly against the board (4) when force is induced onto the board (4).

An operating device for a vehicle, comprising
- a board (4), and
- at least two encompassing elements receiving the board (4) between them, each of which comprises a contact portion (7) retaining the board (4) and a base part (6) supporting the contact portion (7), characterized in
- that at least one of the encompassing elements is configured as an elastic catch hook (5), and
- that the contact portion (7) of the at least one catch hook (5) is arranged on that side of its base part (6) that faces away from the other encompassing element, wherein, upon the exertion of force on the board (4) in the direction of the contact portion (7) of the at least one catch hook (5), the latter is movable towards the encompassing element.
