1. An assembly, comprising:
- a frame;
a touch-sensitive input panel operable to detect the location of a haptic user input;
a member pivotally connected to the frame to define two or more pivot axes and to support the touch-sensitive input panel at locations distinct from the pivot axes, the member being arranged in such a way that the length of a part of the member connecting points on the two pivot axes varies in response to the haptic user input, and such that the touch-sensitive input panel is displaced relative to the frame as the length varies;
and a switch operable to detect displacement of the touch-sensitive input panel relative to the frame resulting from the haptic user input.

Abstract
An assembly for a terminal device comprises a frame, a touch-sensitive input panel operable to detect the location of a haptic user input, a member pivotally connected to the frame to define two or more pivot axes and supporting the panel at locations distinct from the pivot axes, the member being arranged in such a way that the length of a part of the member connecting points on the two pivot axes varies in response to the haptic user input, and such that the panel is displaced relative to the frame as said length varies, and a switch operable to detect displacement of said panel relative to the frame resulting from said haptic user input.

12. An assembly comprising:
-
frame means; touch-sensitive input means operable to detect the location of a haptic user input; support means pivotally connected to the frame to define two or more pivot axes and supporting the input means at locations distinct from the pivot axes, the support means being arranged in such a way that the length of a part of the support means connecting points on the two pivot axes varies in response to the haptic user input, and such that the input means is displaced relative to the frame as the length varies, and switch means operable to detect displacement of the input means relative to the frame resulting from the haptic user input. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
