Device and method for selecting a switch position

The present disclosure provides a device for selecting a desired switch position out of a plurality of switch positions, and a switch position depends on a position of at least one locking bolt relative to a snap-in cam, with a support member for a control element. The support member is arranged below a user interface and rotatable around a shaft relative to the locking bolt. The snap-in cam is designed in the support member, and a Maltese cross transmission structure is formed in the support member. A drive device is in engagement with the Maltese cross transmission structure so as to rotate the support member with the snap-in cam around the shaft relative to the locking bolt depending on the desired switch position.

AIRVENT ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE INTERIOR
20220032739 · 2022-02-03 ·

An airvent assembly for a vehicle interior. The airvent assembly has a vane, a first flap, a first lever, a second lever and a movable disk. The first and the second levers are connected to the vane and the first flap, respectively. The first and the second levers have a first and a second guiding path, respectively. The movable disk is configured with a first and a second guiding pin. Upon actuation of the movable disk, one of the first or the second guiding pin engages with and moves within the first or the second guiding path to move the vane or the first flap to change the direction of an airflow or to at least partially prevent the airflow.
