Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'entrée comportant un corps rotatif pivotant, un corps d'actionnement mobile, un élément de contact monté sur le corps rotatif, une borne qui entre en contact avec l'élément de contact, un boîtier, une première structure dentée placée sur le corps d'actionnement, une seconde structure dentée placée sur le corps rotatif, un premier élément élastique placé sur un composant quelconque parmi le corps rotatif et le boîtier, et une première surface actionnée placée sur l'autre composant parmi le corps rotatif et le boîtier. Si le corps d'actionnement se rapproche du corps rotatif le long de l'axe de rotation, la première structure dentée appuie sur la seconde structure dentée. La pression de la première structure dentée sur la seconde structure dentée fait tourner le corps rotatif d'un premier angle centré autour de l'axe de rotation. Si le corps rotatif tourne du premier angle centré autour de l'axe de rotation, le premier élément élastique appuie sur la première surface actionnée. Si la première surface actionnée est pressée par le premier élément élastique, la première surface actionnée tourne, par rapport au premier élément élastique, d'un second angle centré autour de l'axe de rotation.
