Embodiment Construction

[0017] figure 1 An operating device in the form of a rotary knob 1 for selecting functions or menus within a hierarchical menu structure is shown. The rotary knob 1 comprises a main body 2 and a subunit 3 which each have the shape of two concentric cylinders 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 placed one above the other. The base surfaces 8 , 9 of the cylinders 4 , 5 have different diameters 10 , 11 . The base surfaces 12 , 13 of the cylinders 6 , 7 also have different diameters 14 , 15 . Furthermore, the heights 16, 17 of the cylinders 4, 5 and the heights 18, 19 of the cylinders 6, 7 are different. The diameter 10 , 14 of the base 8 , 12 of the respective upper cylinder 4 , 6 of the main body 2 and the subunit 3 is larger than the diameter 11 , 15 of the base 9 , 13 of the respective lower cylinder. The upper cylinder 6 of the body 2 has a smaller height 18 than the lower cylinder 7 of the body 2 . The upper cylinders 4, 6 serve as the handle 20 of the subunit 3 and the handle 21 of the main ...
