est rappelé élastiquement par les moyens 50.By this tilting around this
Dans sa position active de validation, obtenue par pression manuelle sur la
molette 32, l'organe de commande mobile 30 est incliné par rapport au premier axe 38,
par basculement autour du second axe 59, ce qui a pour effet de rapprocher sa face de
contact 46 du contacteur à pression 44 et de valider la fonction précédemment
sélectionnée.In its active validation position, obtained by manual pressure on the
En l'absence de pression manuelle, l'organe de commande mobile 30 est rappelé
élastiquement dans sa position de repos, par pression du doigt 52 sur la surface crantée
