ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for actuating a sanitary appliances which comprises at least one sensor arranged in a housing and provided with a pressure-sensitive element and is actuatable by applying a force on the sensor sensitive area for deforming said element. The inventive device also comprises a control system which determines the deformation of the element and produces a signal by which the operation of the sanitary appliances is controllable. Coupling means extending perpendicularly to the operating direction of the sensor outside of the sensitive area thereof enable a force which is generated at a distance from said sensitive area to be transferable thereon.
