Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A control panel for a vehicle and having: a digital screen; a pointer, which can be arranged on the digital screen and is mounted in a movable manner so as to move on the digital screen; and an actuator device configured to move the pointer on the digital screen. The pointer is movable so as to be arranged on the digital screen and to be arranged beside the digital screen and without overlap on the digital screen. The actuator device transmits the motion to the pointer through a contactless magnetic coupling.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A control panel ( 2 ) for a vehicle and comprising: at least one digital screen ( 8 ); at least one pointer ( 9 ), which can be arranged on the digital screen ( 8 ) and is mounted in a movable manner so as to move on the digital screen ( 8 ); and an actuator device ( 204 ) configured to move the pointer ( 9 ) on the digital screen ( 8 ); wherein the pointer ( 9 ) is movable so as to be arranged on the digital screen ( 8 ) and to be arranged beside the digital screen ( 8 ) and without overlap on the digital screen ( 8 ); wherein the actuator device ( 20 ) transmits the motion to the pointer ( 9 ) through a contactless magnetic coupling. 2 . The control panel ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator device ( 20 ) comprises a slider ( 21 ), which is arranged behind the digital screen ( 8 ), is aligned with the pointer ( 9 ) and magnetically attracts the pointer ( 9 ) to itself. 3 .
