Problems solved by technology

[0005] A manual control with a contactor substantially perpendicular to said axis of push offers greater freedom in form and style, but the configuration of the manual control is more complex and significantly limits the backlighting especially due to the need to return possibility of

Embodiment Construction

[0028] The object of the present invention is particularly to provide a manual control device DC for enabling a user of the device to manually control at least part of the operation of at least one component of the system by pressure.

[0029] In the following, as a non-limiting example, the system is considered to be a motorized vehicle, such as a car. But the invention is not limited to this type of system. The invention relates in fact to any type of system comprising at least one component that can be at least partially controlled by at least one manual control device. Therefore, the present invention relates to any means of transportation (no matter what type (land, sea (or river), or air)), household appliances, buildings and facilities (optionally of industrial type).

[0030] In addition, in the following, as a non-limiting example, it is considered that the manual control device DC is used as a part of the control assembly EC, the control assembly itself is used to be ass...

Abstract

A device for manual control (DC) is intended to control at least one function ensured by at least one member of a system. This device (DC) comprises: - a control body (CC) comprising a long-limbed central part (PC) and terminated by a rear part (PR), which is able to be mounted rotatably with respect to a support (PB), and a front part (PV), comprising a front face defining an indication zone (ZI) and a rear face to which is tied a wall (PG) delimiting a space under the indication zone (ZI), - at least one light-emitting diode (DE) able to deliver light in this space so as to back-light the indication zone (ZI), and - an actuator (A) able to be installed under the wall (PG) and to control the function in the case of interaction with the wall (PG) induced by the exerting of a pressure on the front part (PV) by a finger of a user.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a manual control device that enables a user to manually control at least part of the operation of at least one component of the system. Background technique [0002] Various types of manual control devices have been proposed. Therefore, there are forms configured with scroll wheels, knobs, buttons (optionally of the "touch-latch" type), scale (or measuring rod), or sensor (or number) keys Manual control device. [0003] The present invention more specifically relates to a manual control device, such as a button, capable of switching from a first state to a second state. As known by those skilled in the art, the button includes a contactor which is arranged along the pushing axis of the user's finger or substantially perpendicular to the pushing axis due to mechanical return. [0004] A manual control device with a contactor along the pushing axis allows backlighting, but the manual control device only provides very few degree...
