ABSTRACT:
A touch-controlled apparatus of the type in which two parts of a circuit component are selectively brought into contact, which includes plural circuit components. In one embodiment the two components (at least one of which must be a potentiometer) are co-planar and longitudinally aligned. In another embodiment two co-planar potentiometers are disposed in parallel side-by-side relation so as to be simultaneously actuated by the same touch pressure. In a third embodiment two or more components are disposed in two different stacked layers for simultaneous or sequential operation. An improved sample and hold output circuit includes only a parallel capacitor, or a series resistor and parallel capacitor, connected to one part of a circuit component. The component may be formed as three folded sections of a single sheet-like member, the sections being foldable into a three-tiered stack.
