  • the known actuating plate comprises a bearing plate with at least one actuating element, which is pivotable to the fixed bearing plate.
  • the actuating element is connected via a spring element with the bearing plate.
  • the spring element is connected via a hot rivet with the bearing plate and the actuator. With the hot rivets, a very good and durable connection between the bearing plate and actuator can be achieved.
  • the invention is now based on an object to provide an actuating unit, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the production of the operating unit should be simplified.
  • An actuating unit for actuating a flushing device comprises a bearing plate, at least one relative to Bearing plate movable actuator and at least one sprung trained bearing element, which is connected with a first end to the bearing plate and a second end to the at least one actuating element.

  • connection via the positive and / or non-positive connection between the bearing element and the bearing plate or the actuating element Due to the connection via the positive and / or non-positive connection between the bearing element and the bearing plate or the actuating element, a connection which is easy to produce can be created. This in particular under the proviso that the advantages of the sprung bearing element, namely in particular its longevity, are maintained.
  • connection is easier to dimension and more efficient to produce.
  • the said connection is exclusively positive and / or non-positive.
  • the said connection is therefore not cohesive.
  • connection is produced without thermal action on the bearing plate and / or the actuating element. Consequently, the connection is not adversely affected by material deformation.
  • connection is a mechanical snap connection with a receptacle and a snap body.
  • the snap body can be inserted into the receptacle and is held positively and / or non-positively in the receptacle.
  • the at least one bearing element preferably provides the only mechanical connection between the bearing plate and the actuating element.
  • the bearing element forms a joint with which the actuating element to the bearing plate is pivotable.
  • the bearing element is preferably designed as a leaf spring.
  • the assignment of recording and snap body can be arbitrary. This means that the receptacle can be arranged both on the bearing plate and / or the actuating element or it can also be part of the bearing element.
  • the recording is preferred formed integrally and integrally with the bearing plate and / or with the actuating element. With regard to the assignment and the training can apply the same for the snap body.
  • the receptacle is integrally formed on the bearing plate and / or the actuating element and the snap body is part of the at least one end of the bearing element.

  • the spring tab is part of the bearing element and the recess is part of the bearing plate and / or the actuating element.
  • the spring tab is part of the bearing plate and / or the actuating element and the recess is part of the bearing element.
  • the said receptacle comprises boundary areas for securing the bearing part.
  • the receptacle is preferably formed with the boundary areas such that it limits the movement of the bearing part in all directions except in the direction against the plugging direction. The movement against the insertion direction is secured by the stop element.
  • boundary areas in particular arranged such that they prevent movement of the bearing element in the receptacle transversely to the direction of insertion.
  • the boundary areas are, for example, side walls which at least partially limit the space of the receptacle in which parts of the bearing element come to rest.
  • the boundary areas are preferably in direct contact with the bearing part.
  • the plugging direction for making said connection is substantially parallel to the rear surface of the bearing plate.

  • the bearing element is mounted under prestress, such that the at least one actuating element is held in its initial position. After actuation of the actuating element, this is actuated counter to a force provided by the bias. Due to the bias or the resulting force, the actuator is moved back to its original position after actuation.
  • the bias is achieved by an angularly inclined formation of the receptacle to the bearing plate and / or the actuating element, wherein the inclination is preferably such that the distance between the receptacle and bearing plate or actuator with decreasing distance to the center of the bearing element is smaller.

  • the bearing element 4 directs the actuator 3 to the plate and forms a kind of hinge, which allows the movement between actuator 3 and fixed plate.
  • the actuators 3 are thus hingedly connected to the spring-trained bearing elements 4. When pressure on the actuating element 3, this is pivoted relative to the plate to the back 16. As soon as the pressure is removed, the bearing plate 2, due to its spring-loaded design, ensures a return of the actuating element 3 to the starting position.
  • two actuators 3 are arranged side by side. Each of the actuating elements 3 is connected to two bearing elements 4 with the bearing plate 2 in connection.
  • the number of actuators 3 may also be smaller or larger. Likewise, the number of bearing elements per actuator 3 may also be smaller or larger.
