Illuminated button for an operator control arrangement, operator control arrangement and domestic appliance

A button for an operator control arrangement, wherein the button has a shaped body, the shaped body including:

• an operating direction in which the shaped body is displaced when the button is operated,
• a functional side which has an operating region, wherein the operating region is configured to operate a switching element when the button is operated,
• an operator control side,
• a resilient projection which is integrally formed with the shaped body transverse to the operating direction and is configured in such a way that it deforms in an elastically resilient manner when it interacts with a housing part, in order to provide a restoring force for displacement of the button back to an idle position when the button is operated into an operating position,
• a force limiting element which is integrally formed with the shaped body transverse to the operating direction and is configured to absorb an excessive operating force by resilient displacement of the force limiting element when the operating region interacts with the switching element, and
• a first projection which is integrally formed with the shaped body and which is configured to interact with a housing part in order to thus form an end stop for operation of the button.

A button for an operator control arrangement, wherein the button has a body which is composed of a light-guiding material, the body including:

• an operating direction in which the body is displaced when the button is operated,
• a functional side which has a light entry region and an operating region, wherein the operating region is configured to operate a switching element when the button is operated,
• an operator control side which has a light exit region, wherein the body is configured for guiding at least a fraction of light, which enters at the light entry region, to the light exit region,
• a resilient projection which is integrally formed with the body transverse to the operating direction and is configured to deform in an elastically resilient manner,
• a force limiting element formed transverse to the operating direction and configured to absorb an excessive operating force by resilient displacement of the force limiting element when the operating region interacts with the switching element, and
• a first projection which is configured to interact with a housing part in order to thus form an end stop for operation of the button.
