Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0890966A1] The push button controller has a rounded membrane (15) with an outer rim (16). The rim is placed in a metallised zone securing it in place. The membrane central area is above a second metallised zone (20), which is a printed circuit conductor. Deforming the rounded membrane closes a spring leaf section and thus forms a switch closure. A luminescent diode indicates to the operator that the controller is working.
