APPARATUS FOR REMOTE MANIPULATION OF ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT

摘要

An apparatus (200) for remote manipulation of an electric equipment. The apparatus (200) comprises a supporting structure (204)adapted to be attached to the electric equipment adjacent to a button (202a) of the electric equipment,and an elongated lever(206)attached to an axis (204a) of the supporting structure between a first end and a second end of the elongated lever such that the elongated lever is rotatable around the axis (204a). The apparatus(200) also comprises an actuation member(208, 210)adapted to actuate the first end of the elongated lever in response to an actuation signal (S) such that the elongated lever rotates around the axis (204a) so as to move a finger portion (206c) at the second end of the lever against the button with a predefined maximum length. Thereby, a precise and well-defined movement of the finger portion (206c) can fairly easy be created with a predefined maximum length which is sufficient to press the button (202a) to activate some function as desired, but without risking damage of the button (202a).
