Abstract
An operating device comprises a transmitter arrangement (1) and a receiver arrangement (2), which may be moved longitudinally, transversally and vertically with relation to the transmitter arrangement (1) and by means of which different signals can be generated depending on the position of the transmitter arrangement (1). According to the invention, said operating device may be provided with additional functionality with a construction of the minimum technical complexity, wherein the transmitter arrangement (1) may be rotated in relation to the receiver arrangement (2) and is designed such that, at differing rotational angles, signals corresponding to the given rotational angle may be generated in the receiver device (2).
Claims12
An operating device with a transmitter module and a receiver module that may be moved longitudinally, transversely and vertically relative to the transmitter module, and by means of which different signals can be generated depending on the position of the transmitter module wherein the transmitter module can be rotated relative to the receiver module, and is designed such that, at different angular positions, different signals corresponding to the respective angular position, may be generated in the receiver module by means of the transmitter module.
An operating device comprising:
- a receiver module;
- a control lever defining and rotatable about axis extending through the receiver module and having an end shiftable radially and axially relative to the receiver module;
- and
- a transmitter module mounted on the end and having a part traversed by the axis and a part radially offset from the axis;
- and
- an array of receiver parts in the module oriented so as to detect axial, radial, and angular movement of the lever.
