This promotes the television game itself because of the reactions of the players to what is going on on the screen can be done more quickly, as a change of grip on other operating elements is not required.
Weitere Vorteile der Neuerung sowie eine Erläuterung von in den Unteransprüchen angegebenen vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen sind in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines in der Zeichnung dargesteliten Ausführungsbeispiels angegeben. Further advantages of the innovation and an explanation of in the subclaims indicated advantageous embodiments are in the following Description of an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing.
Das Bedienungsorgan 1 weist ein Betätigungselement 2 auf, das in einem Gehäuse 3 gelagert ist. Das Betätigungselement besteht im vesentlichen aus drei Teilstücken, von denen sich das erste Teilstück U außerhalb des Gehäuses befindet, an dessen unterem Ende ein kugelförmiges Teilstück 5 angebracht ist, an das sich das dritte Teilstück 6 als länglicher nach unten weisender Ansatz anschließt.

Das hat zur Folge, daß das Betätigungselement 2 auf der Fläche eines Kugelausschnitts, die durch den Anschlag des Betätigungselements 2 an der Wandung der Trichteröffnung 7 "begrenzt ist, frei bewegbar ist. Die Wandung der Trichteröffnung 7 kann dabei rund oder eckig ausgebildet sein und entsprechend die Bewegung des Betätigungselements 2 begrenzen. In entsprechender Weise bewegt sich der Ansatz 6 unterhalb des kugelförmigen Teilstücks 5· Der Ansatz 6 weist einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf und ragt durch Schlitze 8 zweier senkrecht zueinander stehender, halbkreisförmiger Steuerbügel 9»10 hindurch. Die Steuerbügel 9,10 sind auf Ansätzen des Gehäuses 3 gelagert, die sich in Höhe des Mittelpunkts · des kugelförmigen Teilstücks 5 parallel zu der Oberfläche des Gehäuses befinden. Die Bewegung des Betätigungselements 2 wird dadurch umgesetzt in Bewegungen in Richtung zweier senkrecht aufeinander stehender Komponenten, die eine Drehbewegung des entsprechenden Steuerbügels 9,10 verursachen. Wird also das Betätigungselement 2 in einer beliebigen Stellung nur parallel zur Schlitzrichtung des Steuerbügels 10 bewegt - im dargestellten Beispiel also in der Zeichenebene -, findet nur eine Drehbewegung des Steuerbügels 9 statt, während der Steuerbügel 10 in seiner Position verharrt. An den verlängerten Achsen 11 der Steuerbügel 9,10 sind Drehpotentiometer 12 befestigt, mit deren Hilfe die Stellung des jeweiligen Steuerbügels 9s10 in ein elektrisches Signal umgeformt wird.The consequence of this is that the actuating element 2 is freely movable on the surface of a spherical cutout which is limited by the stop of the actuating element 2 on the wall of the funnel opening 7 ″. The wall of the funnel opening 7 can be round or square and accordingly the movement of the operating member 2 limit. In a corresponding manner, the projection 6 is moved underneath the spherical portion 5 · the extension 6 has a circular cross section and projects through slots 8 of two mutually perpendicular, semi-circular control strap 9 »10 therethrough. the control strap 9, 10 are mounted on lugs of the housing 3, which are parallel to the surface of the housing at the level of the center point of the spherical section 5. The movement of the actuating element 2 is thereby converted into movements in the direction of two mutually perpendicular components, which cause a rotary movement of the cause corresponding control bracket 9,10. If the actuating element 2 is moved in any position only parallel to the slot direction of the control yoke 10 - in the example shown, in the plane of the drawing - only a rotary movement of the control yoke 9 takes place while the control yoke 10 remains in its position. Rotary potentiometers 12 are attached to the extended axes 11 of the control yokes 9, 10, with the aid of which the position of the respective control yoke 9 s 10 is converted into an electrical signal.
Mit der bisher beschriebenen Vorrichtung ist es möglich, eine Steuerung einer Figur auf der Bildschirmebene eines Fernsehgeräts vorzunehmen. Erfindungsgemäß weist das Bedienungsorgan weitere Merkmale auf, durch die es zusätzlich für andere Funktionen verwendbar ist.With the device described so far, it is possible to control a character at the screen level of a television set. According to the invention If the control unit has other features, it can also be used for other functions.

Dazu ist das Betätigungselement 2 hohl ausgeführt und in ihm ein Betäti- \ gungsglied 13 für einen Druckschalter 1U beweglich gelagert. Das Be- ' tätigungsglied 13 ragt aus dem Betätigungselement 2 mit einem Druckknopf ! heraus, so daß durch Drücken dieses Druckknopfes 15 nach unten der j Druckschalter 1U geschlossen werden kann. Eine einfache und kostengünstige! Ausführung des Druckschalters 1U besteht darin, daß er aus zwei mit Leiterbahnen und Kontaktflächen bedruckten Folien 16,17 besteht, von denen die obere konkav gegen das Betätigungsglied 13 geformt ist, und zwar in der Weise, daß nach Betätigung des Betätigungsgliedes 13, bei der das konkav gewölbte Teil eingedrückt und auf die untere Folie 16 gepreßt wird, das konkav gewölbte Teil schlagartig in seine Ausgangsposition zurückspringt.For this purpose, the actuating member 2 is hollow and in it an actuating \ supply member 13 for a pressure switch 1U movably mounted. The actuating member 13 protrudes from the actuating element 2 with a push button! out, so that by pressing this push button 15 down the j push button switch 1U can be closed. A simple and inexpensive one! Execution of the pressure switch 1U consists in that it consists of two foils 16,17 printed with conductor tracks and contact surfaces, of which the upper one is shaped concave against the actuator 13, in such a way that after actuation of the actuator 13, in which the The concavely curved part is pressed in and pressed onto the lower film 16, the concavely curved part suddenly jumps back into its starting position.
Eine weitere Funktion kann mit dem Betätigungselement 2 dadurch gesteuert werden, daß der Ansatz 6, der wegen der Lagerung in den Schlitzen 8 der Steuerbügel 9,10 einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt hat, an seinem unteren Ende an seiner Außenseite abgeflacht ist und dadurch zwei Gleitflächen hat, auf die die entsprechend geformte Hohlachse eines Drehpotentiometers 18 geschoben ist. Durch Drehen des Betätigungselements kann daher eine weitere Potentiometereinstellung verändert werden. Das Potentiometer ist in dem Ausführungsbeispiel mit seinen Anschlußkontakten 19 auf einer Isolierstoffplatte 20 durch Löten befestigt, die auch als Träger für den Druckschalter lh dient. In diesem Fall können die Funktionen des Potentiometers 18 und des Druckschalters 1U miteinander kombiniert werden. Das kann z.B. dadurch geschehen, daß das Potentiometer 18 nur wirksam geschaltet ist, wenn über das Betätigungsglied 13 der Druckschalter 1U geschlossen ist.A further function can be controlled with the actuating element 2 in that the extension 6, which has a circular cross-section because of the mounting in the slots 8 of the control yoke 9, 10, is flattened at its lower end on its outside and thus has two sliding surfaces, onto which the correspondingly shaped hollow axis of a rotary potentiometer 18 is pushed. A further potentiometer setting can therefore be changed by turning the actuating element. In the exemplary embodiment, the potentiometer is fastened with its connection contacts 19 on an insulating plate 20 by soldering, which plate also serves as a support for the pressure switch lh. In this case, the functions of the potentiometer 18 and the pressure switch 1U can be combined with one another. This can be done, for example, in that the potentiometer 18 is only effectively switched when the pressure switch 1U is closed via the actuating member 13.

Es ist klar, daß Mittel vorgesehen sein müssen, die das Gehäuse des
Potentiometers 18 vor einem Verdrehen schützen, damit durch Drehen der
Hohlachse des Potentiometers 18 über das Betätigungselement 2 eine Verstellung
des Potentiometers 18 erfolgen kann. Dieser Verdrehschutz kann
z.B. dadurch gewährleistet werden, daß der Steuerbügel 10 in der Breite des Potentiometergehäuses gewählt wird und seine Ränder über das Potentiometergehäuse
