Motor vehicle control interface and corresponding method of manufacture
First Claim
1. A control interface for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a touch-sensitive tile having a front face;
a casing housing said touch-sensitive tile, said casing having an opening delimited by a border so that a user can access the front face of the touch-sensitive tile; and
a leveling compound, peripheral to the touch-sensitive tile and interposed between an edge face of the touch-sensitive tile and the border of the casing,wherein said interface also comprises a seal interposed between a rear face of the touch-sensitive tile and a retaining projection of the casing, said seal bordering the leveling compound between the rear face of the touch-sensitive tile and the retaining projection.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a motor vehicle control interface comprising a touch-sensitive tile (2) having a front face (3); a housing (4) housing said touch-sensitive tile (2), said housing (4) having—an opening delimited by an edge (5) via which a user can access the front face (3) of the touch-sensitive tile (2); and a levelling trim (6), peripheral to the touch-sensitive tile (2) and interposed between an edge face (7) of the touch-sensitive tile (2) and the edge (5) of the housing (4), characterized in that said interface further comprises a seal (9) inserted between a rear face (10) of the touch-sensitive tile (2) and a retaining projection (11) of the housing (4), said seal (9) bordering the levelling trim (6) between the rear face (10) of the touch-sensitive tile (2) and the retaining projection (11). The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a control interface (1).

11. A method of manufacturing a control interface, the method comprising:
-
during a first step, the opening of the casing is positioned around the touch-sensitive tile provided with a film on the front face, the film covering at least the front face of the touch-sensitive tile and the edges of the casing, a seal being interposed between the rear face of the touch-sensitive tile and a retaining projection of the casing; during a second step, a retaining force is applied to the casing to hold the casing in position and to compress the seal between the rear face of the touch-sensitive tile and the retaining projection of the casing; and during a third step, a liquid leveling compound is introduced via the injection orifice of the retaining projection which orifice opens into a peripheral space stopped off by the film, the border and the retaining projection of the casing, the seal and the edge face of the touch-sensitive tile, so that the liquid leveling compound is spread out in said peripheral space. - View Dependent Claims (13)

12. A method of manufacturing a control interface, the method comprising:
-
during a first step, the touch-sensitive tile and the casing are positioned on a preconfigured surface, with the opening of the casing surrounding the front face of the touch-sensitive tile, said opening and said front face being positioned facing the preconfigured surface, a seal being interposed between the rear face of the touch-sensitive tile and a retaining projection of the casing; during a second step, a retaining force is applied to the casing to hold the casing in position facing the preconfigured surface and to compress the seal between the rear face of the touch-sensitive tile and the retaining projection; during a third step, the liquid leveling compound is introduced via the injection orifice of the retaining projection which orifice opens into a peripheral space stopped off by the preconfigured surface, the border and the retaining projection of the casing, the seal and the edge face of the touch-sensitive tile, so that the liquid leveling compound is spread out in said peripheral space; and during a fourth step, a film is applied that covers at least the front face of the touch-sensitive tile, the leveling compound and the edges of the casing. - View Dependent Claims (14)
