Abstract
A touch knob device that is mountable to a curved surface of a touch panel is provided. The touch knob device is removably disposed on a curved touch panel for controlling the touch panel. The touch knob device comprises a flexible base and a sense measuring knob. The base comprises a soft base body, a base pad and a base platform. The bottom surface of the base body contacts the base platform which connects the touch knob device to the touch panel. The sensing knob is rotatably disposed along an axis on the base top surface. A conductive line is connected between the sensing knob and the base pad for transferring the rotational direction or position of the sensing knob to a sensor on the touch panel via the base pad. Rotating the sensing knob allows the touch knob device to control aspects of the touch panel.
