  • Household appliance with a user interface
    Patent number: 12068120
    Abstract: A method of assembly for a switch within a user interface for a home appliance includes housing a circuit board within the user interface. The circuit board has at least one mechanically actuated switch having a first area. An input interface of the user interface has a button defining a second area, greater than the first area, and having an actuator corresponding to the switch. The button is coupled to at least one of the circuit board or the input interface for relative movement between an actuation position, where the actuator actuates the switch, and a non-actuation position, where the actuator does not actuate the switch.

  • HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE WITH A USER INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20240215796
    Abstract: A user interface for a home appliance comprises a circuit board having an array of manually-actuated switches and an array of light sources. The user interface further comprises an input interface spaced from the circuit board and having an array of optical transmission elements corresponding to the array of light sources, an array of light guides extending between the corresponding light sources and optical transmission elements, and an array of actuators corresponding to the manually-actuated switches.
