ABSTRACT:
A device for generating multi-directional commands, comprising at least one plate provided with strain gauges (R.sub.1 -R.sub.4) (R.sub.5 -R.sub.8) which detect the multi-directional deformations incurred by the plate under the influence of a force F exerted on a surface of the plate. One of the extremities of the plate cooperates with a support and the plate bears, by way of its other surface, on a fulcrum at the other extremity. The fulcrum may be formed by the head of a microswitch, the extremity of the plate being linked to the support. The microswitch is capable of controlling operations for the activation of the device and/or the validation of the electric signals from the strain gauges. The orientation of the force F with respect to the axis of the fulcrum enables the issue of multi-directional commands. The device has a shape ergonomically adapted to handling by means of a single hand.
