Activation device with magnets

An activation device for transmitting a user input to a control device, the activation device being configured as a rotary pushbutton by which the user input is transmitted by both pressing and rotating the activation device, wherein the activation device comprises:

• an engaging element configured for receiving the user input from a user, the engaging element forming a first housing part of the activation device, the engaging element comprising an engaging push magnet and an engaging rotating magnet, and
• a feeding element configured to receive the user input from the engaging element and transmit the user input to the control device, the feeding element forming a second housing part of the activation device, wherein the feeding element comprises a feeding push magnet and a feeding rotating magnet, wherein the feeding push magnet and feeding rotating magnet are configured to communicate with the engaging push magnet and engaging rotating magnet by magnetic forces,
• wherein the engaging push magnet is configured to be displaced in a direction of the feeding element by pressure-activating the activation device,
• wherein the engaging push magnet is configured to exert a magnetic force on the feeding push magnet to displace the feeding push magnet in a same or an opposite direction as the displacement of the engaging push magnet without contact with the engaging push magnet, and
• wherein the engaging rotating magnet is set up to exert a magnetic force on the feeding rotating magnet such that the rotating magnets are configured to be displaced parallel to an intermediate plane running between them.
