Definitions
- the present invention relates to a control member having a button rotary manipulation device for actuating a first function, said button can surplus in some cases operate as a push button and be actuated along different axes of displacement, for example by axial pressure at certain points of its periphery.
- the slots corresponding devices are then of course indicated to the user by means of appropriate signaling, and each generates the of a distinct function.
- This type of control device finds its place in particular in motor vehicle interiors, for example for the control of different parts of a seat, or for adjusting the mirrors right and left, etc.
- DE 3524439 shows the adjustment of mirrors.
- the main objective of the present invention is the optimization of the design of the various elements involved in the operation of the control member, in order to provide a simplified overall solution as much as possible, and therefore reliable and offering high durability.
- the control member which is the object uses only one of the faces of the printed circuit with which it cooperates, which provides an appreciable space saving, as well as a benefit undeniable economic, both in terms of the number of parts to assemble and the time of assembly.
- the control member according to the invention is provided with a rotary manipulation button around a first axis, and which can be urged in rotation about at least one secondary axis contained in a plane perpendicular to the first axis.
- the button can be in some configurations manipulated in translation around the first axis.
- Said button is secured to a actuator that transmits the manipulation movement to the components, which are arranged on one side of a support of the oriented circuit facing of the button, the transmission being effected via at least two pieces forming interface between said actuator and said circuit, on the one hand a rotor integral with rotation of the actuator around the first axis, the mechanical connection between them being further provided to authorize relative movements according to the secondary axes.
- the interface is on the other hand a fixed plate comprising means elastic links with the electric circuit, which are arranged substantially to the right of the peripheral support locations.
- the essential elements of the organ of the invention are, in addition to the manipulator button, an actuator, an electrical circuit and two pieces, the rotor and the plate, one of which is fixed relative to the frame in which is installed the control member and the other is rotatable about the first axis of button manipulation, and whose action is performed on components arranged substantially in the same plane and oriented towards the elements constituent of said organ.
- This organ is therefore done either by doing it rotate around the axis, either by exerting pressure, centrally or specific points of the periphery.
- the electric circuit is implanted on the same face of a circuit board, which is therefore the aforementioned support.
- This solution is economically very favorable because it allows an assembly simplification of the various components on said printed circuit on the one hand, and the control device in its environment on the other hand, without having to provide for the additional implantation of other components / printed circuits, for example for the operation of a light emitting diode of signaling.

More precisely, it presents, in its central zone, a complex shaped orifice formed of a number of radial slots converge at most equal to the number of pads / tabs arranged in periphery, and developing toward them. Preferably, the number of radial slots is equal to that of the pads, and said slots are develop precisely in the direction of said pads.
