Definitions
- the present invention relates to an operating device for controlling various components in a vehicle, and more particularly for controlling the window and mirror.
- rear view mirror control provides an operating device in the form of a joystick operable in four directions, often called a "joystick".
- the four maneuvering directions allow the left-right directional adjustment and the up-down folding of a mirror.
- the mirror to be operated is selected by a separate control or by an integrated pivoting operation of the joystick.
- the window regulator maneuver it is known for the window regulator maneuver to have four separate control devices for the four windows of the vehicle.
- the invention achieves its object by means of a device for controlling first accessories in the form of a tray which has first determined zones and can pivot on itself between at least two positions, for controlling the first accessories, characterized in that the tray can take at least a third pivoted position in which pressing on determined second areas of the tray controls second accessories.
- the first accessories are the left and right exterior mirrors and the second accessories are the window regulators for the various windows of the vehicle.
- the third pivoted position of the plate is the central pivoting position.
- the plate forms the upper part of a tilting joystick, at least in the first two positions.
- the plate can tilt in several directions when pressing on said first determined zones.
- the plate is advantageously immobilized and said second zones determined for the control of the second accessories are in the form of individually pushable keys.
- the first and second determined zones are the same and consist, for example, of four keys arranged in a square. These keys can be locked or disabled when the tray is used as a joystick and pressing the keys only serves to tilt it.
- the keys can be designed to be pressed individually in each of the three positions.
- the central pivot position is the default position of the device. Provisional holding means in the other two positions are provided, as well as, preferably, means for returning to this central position.
- a single operating member conveniently allows the adjustment of the mirrors and the control of the window regulators of the four windows of the vehicle.
- the result is a formal simplification of the door module, usually combining the functions of window regulator and mirror adjustment, as well as a reduction in the number of electrical switches.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a control unit incorporating the device of the invention
- FIG. 1 is a detail view of the control device of Figure 1;
- the control unit 1 intended to be integrated for example in the door of a vehicle or between the seats, comprises the operating device, having at the top of a non-visible support such as a rod a plate 10 of four keys 11 arranged in a square or in petals (the keys 11 constitute the aforementioned predetermined zones). Pressing a finger on one or other of the four keys allows the control of an organ, either by tilting the plate 10 of keys 11 and their support, either by actuating an electrical or optical contact directly under the pressed key.
- a non-visible support such as a rod a plate 10 of four keys 11 arranged in a square or in petals (the keys 11 constitute the aforementioned predetermined zones). Pressing a finger on one or other of the four keys allows the control of an organ, either by tilting the plate 10 of keys 11 and their support, either by actuating an electrical or optical contact directly under the pressed key.
- An indicator tongue 12 protrudes radially from the key plate 11 and points to indications 13 marked on the housing 1.
- the key plate 11 can pivot on itself around a vertical axis, 45 ° to the left (FIG. 3) or to the right ( Figure 5) of the central position shown in Figures 1 and 4, by a mechanism not shown.
- Temporary position locking means are provided to keep the key plate 11 in the left or right pivoted position: these means may include an electromagnet system which is deactivated after a period of a few seconds without actuation , which causes the return of the plate 10 of keys 11 to the central position by return means. It is also possible to provide for the recall to be done manually after the holding means have been released.
- the plate 10 of keys 11 is in the central position and each key controls independently by pushing up and down the four windows of the vehicle.
- the key plate 11 is, in this central position, immobilized and integral with the housing 1.
- the user comes to operate the indexer 12 which unlocks the plate 10 and makes it rotate by 45 ° to the right or to the left depending on the mirror to be adjusted.
- the plate 10 stops automatically in this pivoted position, blocked by the temporary blocking means.
- the entire plate 10 tilts entirely as in a joystick, in all four directions, these movements operating a traditional adjustment of the mirror.
- the keys 11 pivot preferably for their insertion around two parallel axes 13 drawn in dashed lines on the figure 2.
- the keys can be actuated in all positions and pivot around four axes 14 arranged in a square and shown in short dashes in FIG. 2.
