Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3059103A1] The invention relates to an operating device (1) having an illuminated volume control actuating element, in particular for audio systems, comprising a volume control (10) which has an actuating element (40) movable along an adjustment path (20). In the interior, the actuating element (40) comprises a light guiding section (160) by which light coupled into a coupling section (130) on the lower side face of the actuating element (40) is guided to one or more exit zones (170) of the gripping faces (60) of the actuating element (40), and a plurality of illumination means (100) which are controllable for individual positioning are arranged along the adjustment path (20), such that in any position of the volume control (10) along the adjustment path (20) the actuating element (40) covers at least one of the illumination means (100) with the lower side face of the actuating element. The device also comprises a control device (50) which, based on the position of the volume control (10), for light emission in each case controls only the illumination means (100) which are covered by the coupling section (150) of the actuating element (40). The actuating element (40) is illuminated in a targeted manner.
