Device for generating control signals that can be evaluated electrically
First Claim
1. A device (1) for generating control signals that can be evaluated electrically and can be generated by manual actuation of a joystick (4, 4′
- , 4″
) mounted in a housing (3) of the device (1), and which can be deflected in various movement directions, wherein at least one sensor switch (11) is integrated in the outer surface of the joystick (4, 4′
, 4″
), by means of which a check signal (13) can be triggered when the joystick (4, 4′
, 4″
) is gripped, and wherein the check signal (13) allows the device (1) to be activated.

Abstract
In a device (1) for generating control signals that can be evaluated electrically, which are generated by the manual actuation of a joystick (4) inserted in a housing (3) of the device (1) and which can be deflected in various movement directions, it is intended to ensure that exclusively intended control movements of the joystick are transferred without imposing any physical strain on the user when the user operates the joystick. Furthermore, the operating safety of the device or the electrical circuit should be capable of being checked and guaranteed throughout the entire service life. This task is accomplished in that one or more sensor switches (11) are integrated in the outer jacket surface of the joystick (4), each of these can trigger a check signal (13) and the device (1) can be activated by the check signal (13) or check signals (13).
