Abstract:
The operating unit for a vehicle is provided with a housing with a front face and an operating element arranged on the front face of the housing and having a center of gravity and an operating surface. Said operating element is mounted on and/or in the housing in a spring-elastic manner along a vertical axis of movement extending essentially orthogonally to the operating surface and along a lateral movement axis extending essentially transversely with respect thereto. At least one sensor for detecting an actuation movement of the operating element in the direction of the vertical movement axis is provided. Also, the operating unit comprises an actuator arranged in and/or on the housing for feedback movement of the operating element at least also in the lateral movement axis during a detected actuating movement of the operating element, wherein the actuator comprises an electromagnetically controllable drive element which is mechanically coupled to the operating element which can be moved back and forth along a movement axis. The center of gravity of the operating element lies on the movement axis of the drive element of the actuator.

Claim (Index 7):
An operating unit for a vehicle, in particular an infotainment system for operating various vehicle components, having\n a housing having a front face, an operating element arranged on said front face of said housing, which comprises a center of gravity and an operating surface, wherein said operating element is spring-elastically mounted at and/or in said housing along a vertical movement axis essentially extending orthogonally to said operating surface and along a lateral movement axis essentially extending transversely with respect thereto, at least one sensor for detecting an actuation movement of said operating element in the direction of the vertical movement axis, an actuator mounted in and/or at said housing for a feedback movement of said operating element at least also in the lateral movement axis in the case of a recognized actuation movement of said operating element, wherein said actuator comprises a drive element adapted to be controlled and mechanically coupled with said operating element, which is adapted to be moved forwards and backwards along an effective movement axis, and an analysis and controlling unit which is connected to said sensor and said actuator, wherein said center of gravity of said operating element lies on said effective movement axis of said drive element of said actuator.
