Abstract

[PROBLEMES] Pour fournir un dispositif de contrôle capable de récupérer rapidement et facilement des informations au moyen d'une série d’opérations même si les informations sont volumineuses et réparties dans une multitude de segments. [MOYENS POUR RESOUDRE CES PROBLEMES] Ce dispositif de contrôle (1) est formé de manière à ce qu’un bouton rotatif (2) du type pouvant tourner ayant un mécanisme à retour automatique soit posé sur une base de manière à pouvoir tourner d’une façon donnée. Un dispositif de codage rotatif non représenté est connecté au bouton rotatif (2). Une paire de commutateurs terminaux (5a) et (5b) émettant des signaux différentiels de ceux émis aux positions de rotation (4a) et (4b) est fixée aux parties d’extrémité gauche et droite des parties de terminal rotatif, c’est-à-dire aux positions de rotation (4a) et (4b) du bouton rotatif (2). Les commutateurs terminaux (5a) et (5b) sont de type à réaction en contact et sont formés de manière à ce que les signaux puissent être émis par mise en contact avec les parties de mise en contact (2c) et (2d) fixés à une paire de parties en saillie (2a) et (2b) installées sur le diamètre du bouton rotatif (2).
