Abstract: Control device for activating/deactivating functions, comprising a supporting plate comprising a contact surface providing electrical contacts, a control member for selecting a function with the actuation of a switching means, the control member mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation and pivotably about a pivot axis separate from the axis of rotation, rotation and pivoting of the control member facilitating selection of a function and confirmation of the selected function. The control member may be associated with an actuating lever, of which one end comprises the axis of rotation, and of which the other end is mounted pivotably about the pivot axis, the lever being displaceable between a rest position and at least one active position in which at least one electrical switching means on the supporting plate is actuated for purposes of confirming a function, the axis of rotation and the pivot axis extending in separate extension planes.

Abstract: Control device for activating/deactivating functions, particularly of an automobile vehicle, comprising: a housing in which is produced a supporting plate comprising a contact surface, making electrical contacts, a control member selecting and confirming a function with the actuation of a switching means, the control member being mounted rotatably on an axis of rotation and pivotably about a pivot axis P separate from the axis of rotation R, rotation and pivoting of the control member facilitating selection of a function and confirmation of the selected function.
