A control device for generating electrical signals. The control device includes a bottom support, a first, a second, and a third fixed contacts, a first, a second, and a third moving contacts, each of which is elastically deformable. The control device also includes an intermediate control cradle thank includes first, second and third actuating pawls. The control device is suitable for occupying an inactive position in which at least one first, one second and one third bearing points of the intermediate cradle are in abutment, vertically upwards, each against an associated surface portion facing the bottom support, and a single top control member in the form of a drum. |

1. A control device comprising:
a bottom support in the general form of a horizontal plate; a first, second, and third fixed contacts arranged in a triangle on the top face of the bottom support; a first, second, and third moving contacts, each of which is elastically deformable and is configured to cooperate with the first, the second, and the third fixed contacts to generate first, second, and third corresponding electrical signals; an intermediate control cradle, wherein:
the intermediate control cradle is positioned above the fixed bottom support upon which it is movably mounted,the intermediate control cradle comprises a first, second and third actuating pawls, wherein each pawl is configured to act in a pinpoint manner on the first, the second, and the third moving contacts, andthe intermediate control cradle is configured to occupy an inactive position, high relative to the bottom support wherein at least one first, one second and one third bearing points of the intermediate control cradle are in abutment, vertically upwards, each against an associated surface portion facing the bottom support, wherein:
the first bearing point is positioned adjacent to a point of action of the first pawl on the first moving contact,the second bearing point is positioned adjacent to a point of action of the second pawl on the second moving contact, andthe third bearing point is offset transversely, towards the third moving contact, relative to a line passing through the first and second bearing points; and a cylindrical single top control member that is mounted to rotate in both directions relative to the intermediate cradle about a longitudinal axis of rotation having substantially horizontal orientation, wherein the top control member is configured to rotate a generator of electrical signals representative of the rotation of the control member, and wherein the top control member is configured, by acting via the intermediate cradle, to actuate the first, second, and third moving contacts; wherein: the first and the second fixed contacts are aligned longitudinally in a direction that is parallel to the axis of rotation of the control member and is offset transversely on one side of said axis of rotation; the third fixed contact is offset transversely on the other side of the axis of rotation of the control member; and the intermediate control cradle is mounted to pivot relative to the bottom support about a first pivoting axis passing through the second bearing point and through the point of action of the first pawl on the first moving contact, in order to selectively actuate the first moving contact, upon an action on a first axial end part of the control member, and is further mounted about a second pivoting axis passing through the first bearing point and through the point of action of the second pawl on the second moving contact, in order to selectively actuate the second moving contact, upon an action on the second axial end part of the control member. |
