Patent ID: 8416092

Claim:
Device for triggering of functions in a vehicle, in particular for triggering of a mono directional or bidirectional communication between an authorized person and a vehicle, wherein the desired function is effected in the vehicle, and in particular, a lock is unbolted and/or bolted in the vehicle in case of a successful communication, with an actuator ( 10 ) at the vehicle, wherein the actuator ( 10 ) exhibits at least two sensors ( 20 , 30 ) cooperating with each other in its interior, namely on the one hand a proximity sensor ( 20 ) responding upon approach by a person and with a capacitive electrode ( 21 ) in the interior of the actuator ( 10 ), wherein the capacitive electrode ( 21 ) builds up an electrical field in the outer space ( 42 ) of the actuator ( 10 ), and on the other hand a pressure sensor ( 30 ) responding to a pressure exertion, wherein the pressure measurement member ( 31 ) of the pressure sensor is also disposed in the interior of the actuator ( 10 ), and with a point of attack ( 43 ) at the outer side of the actuator ( 10 ) serving for manual exertion of pressure ( 44 ), characterized in that the electrode ( 21 ) of the proximity sensor ( 20 ) exhibits a breakthrough ( 22 ), wherein the breakthrough ( 22 ) is disposed between the point of attack ( 43 ) at the actuator ( 10 ) and the pressure measurement member ( 31 ) of the pressure sensor ( 30 ), and wherein a pressure transfer agent ( 50 ) further conducts ( 45 ) a pressure exertion ( 44 ) from the point of attack ( 43 ) through the breakthrough ( 22 ) in the electrode ( 21 ) wide area up to the pressure measurement member ( 31 ).
