Touch-sensitive switching apparatus for a control device

Abstract

One or more example embodiments relates to a touch-sensitive switching apparatus for a control device with a touch display, the touch-sensitive switching apparatus comprising an attachment area with the underside of which the touch-sensitive switching apparatus can be attached to a touch display in the manner intended, and a plurality of activation elements, each activation element comprising a transparent pressure area with an electrically conductive contact element and an elastic spacing area which completely surrounds the pressure area and keeps it away from the plane of the attachment area, the touch-sensitive switching apparatus being transparent at least in the pressure area so that an underlying touch display is visible, the surface of the touch-sensitive switching apparatus being at least water-resistant so that no liquid can penetrate under the pressure area from this surface.
