Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0796766A2] The turnable control element (10) is for selection of menus and/or functions, and is operated to activate an enter function. The element is cross-movably positioned within at least one plane, containing the element axis. The control element acts with contact elements (30). The contact positions of the control element formed by cross-movement, are associated with menus and/or functions. The control element is also compressible, and the enter function may be activated by movement or compression. The number of planes, and the number of contact elements located in these, correspond to the number of menus/functions. The control element may be the volume control knob of a radio.
