Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil commutateur tactile permettant de détecter la présence d'un objet, tel qu'un appendice humain. Ledit appareil comprend un pavé tactile, un champ électrique généré autour dudit pavé tactile et, de préférence, un circuit de commande intégré et local connecté au pavé tactile et à un dispositif commandé. Les applications pratiques consistent à utiliser cet appareil commutateur tactile en connexion avec une autre structure, en particulier, des commutateurs multiposition sans contact afin d'émuler des commutateurs mécaniques.
