Abstract:
The indicator apparatus ( 30 ) for a vehicle component, in particular for a human-human interface for the indicator and, where necessary, for entering operating parameters for a vehicle component, is provided with a housing ( 12 ) comprising a front side ( 14 ) and a display unit ( 10 ), which is arranged on the front side ( 14 ) of the housing ( 12 ) and/or forms the front side ( 14 ) of the housing ( 12 ), for displaying operating parameters of a vehicle component and possibly symbols fields for entering commands and operating parameters for a vehicle component. The indicator apparatus ( 30 ) is furthermore provided with a deformable delay element ( 32 ), arranged in the housing ( 12 ) behind the display unit ( 10 ), for delaying acceleration movements that act on the display unit ( 10 ) in the direction of the interior of the housing ( 12 ) as a result of an object striking the display unit ( 10 ). The delay element ( 32 ) has a greater stiffness in a center region ( 34 ) that is in alignment with the region of the center of the display unit ( 10 ) than in a region ( 36, 38 ) of the delay element ( 32 ) that is in alignment with a region of the display unit ( 10 ) that adjoins the region of the center of the display unit ( 10 ) and extends in the direction of the edge of the display unit ( 10 ) and/or as far as the edge thereof.

Claim (Index 2):
The indicator apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the locally different stiffness and flexibility of the delay element may be formed by locally different thicknesses of the delay element and/or by locally different geometries, such as e.g. locally different honeycomb structures and/or locally different perforations, perforation densities, or the like, material weakenings or reinforcements, and/or using other measures for adjusting local stiffness and flexibility.
