Abstract

Damit eine Bedienvorrichtung einfacher zu bedienen ist und Endlagen noch komfortabler einzunehmen sind, weist sie

  • einen Basiskörper (8) auf, der wenigstens teilweise von
  • einem Gehäusekörper (2) umgeben ist,
  • wobei der Gehäusekörper (2) einen Scheibenkörper (3) aufweist,
  • der mit einer Grundstellungsmagnetanordnung (6) gegenüber dem Basiskörper (8) gehalten und
  • der mit wenigstens einem Bewegungselement (5) gegenüber dem Basiskörper (8) zu bewegen ist.

    So that an operating device is easier to use and end positions are more comfortable to take, it shows
    • a base body (8) at least partially from
    • a housing body (2) is surrounded,
    • wherein the housing body (2) has a disk body (3),
  • which is held with a basic position magnet arrangement (6) relative to the base body (8) and
  • which can be moved with at least one movement element (5) relative to the base body (8).
