Abstract

Eine Bedieneinrichtung für ein Elektrogerät mit einer Bedienblende und einem daran angeordneten Bedienelement zur Drehbetätigung sowie mit einer Steuerung, bei der das Bedienelement in einer hinter der Bedienblende angeordneten Aufnahme gelagert ist, weist an einer Vorderseite einen Berührungsschalter mit Sensorelement auf, das elektrisch leitend mit der Steuerung verbunden ist. Die Bedieneinrichtung weist eine Versenkeinrichtung auf zum Versenken des Bedienelements durch Drücken in die Aufnahme hinein. Die Versenkeinrichtung ist so ausgebildet, dass der Knebel nur in einer einzigen Versenk-Drehstellung versenkbar ist, wobei der Berührungsschalter in dieser Versenk-Drehstellung von der Steuerung deaktiviert ist.

Figure imgaf001
An operating device for an electrical appliance with a control panel and a control element arranged thereon for rotary actuation and with a control in which the control element is mounted in a behind the control panel receptacle, has on a front side a touch switch with sensor element, which is electrically conductive to the controller connected is. The operating device has a sinking device for lowering the operating element by pressing into the receptacle. The sinking device is designed so that the knob is retractable only in a single countersunk rotary position, wherein the touch switch is deactivated in this countersunk rotary position of the controller.
