Remote control transmitter for emitting control commands
First Claim
1. Remote control transmitter, whose transmitter housing contains transmitter elements for emitting control commands selected at an entry device of the transmitter, by means of transmission signals formed in a signal converter of the transmitter, the distinguishing feature being that the device is a positional-deviation sensing means (17) coupled to the transmitter housing (1), which in the event of an angular position deviation (a) of the transmitter housing from a certain instantaneous reference position of the transmitter housing to a predetermined angle (ao), generates an output signal designating the direction of angular position deviation as a control command capable of being passed to the signal converter (5).

Abstract
A remote control transmitter contains on a circuit board (3), which is rigidly connected to the transmitter housing (1) of the remote control transmitter, a positional-deviation switch configuration (17), which in the event of an angular deviation of the circuit board (3) and thus of the remote control transmitter beyond a particular trigger angle (ao) from a particular given or instantaneously determined reference operating position generates an output signal designating the direction of the positional deviation. In a signal converter (5) of the remote control transmitter, this direction-dependent output signal is converted as a control command into a transmission signal, and emitted via a transmitter element (4) of the remote control transmitter to a remotely controlled electrical appliance. By means of swivel movements of the remote control transmitter from the wrist of the user operating the remote control transmitter, different control commands to the remotely controlled appliance are generated in this way in the remote control transmitter.
