Abstract:
An input device comprising a connector (310), a switch (320), a substrate (330) and a key base (340). The connector is configured to recognise a connection of an external device, the connector including a first surface (313). The switch is located at the first surface of the connector, the switching being configured to connect an electrical signal when subjected to a physical input equal to or exceeding a threshold pressure, the switch including a connection terminal (311). The substrate is connected to the connection terminal of the switch and mounted on the first surface of the connector at a position at which the switch is not located. The key base is configured to actuate the switch.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal keypad is provided having a plurality of key switches on the keypad that provides a first signal or a second signal according to the pressure applied to the key switch. In each of the plurality of key switches, a plate is provided to sequentially contact with a first contact and a second contact according to the applied pressure.
Abstract:
A keypad with both elevated (11) and non-elevated (22) key regions, and key switches (12) disposed beneath both types of key regions. The non-elevated key regions each provide corresponding character output based on an operation algorithm that considers activation of at least one adjacent elevated key region as well as activation of the switch below the non-elevated key region. The keypad includes a keymat (41) that is rigidly held at its perimeter in a stretched condition across a switch substrate (23). The key switches include metal snap domes (12) that have an elevated central region (212) forming a downwardly facing cavity (13) defined at its edge by a ridge (214) disposed above the switch contacts (21) that electrically engages multiple switch contacts in an annular contact zone (230).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electric switch, especially a piezo switch, with optical and/or mechanical feedback of the switching operation. The switch contains at least one switching element (18), especially beneath a cover panel (1), which can be activated by means of an activating element (9). This causes a switching signal to be generated and guided out via electrical contacts. The activating element (9) itself is configured in the form of a passive luminous body consisting of an at least translucent material, which can be illuminated by active luminous means (15). The mechanical feedback of the switching operation can take place using a vibrator which is activated by the switching operation that has been initiated and conveys a vibrating motion to the luminous body (9).
Abstract:
Vorrichtung mit mindestens einem Sensorschalter, der eine definierte Bedienzone hat, für elektrische Geräte und Maschinen. Die Bedienzone (14) ist mit einer Knackfrosch-Effekt-Feder (16) versehen, die bogenförmig derart ausgebildet ist, daß sie durch einen Betätigungsdruck einer Bedienungsperson auf die Bedienzone (14) entgegen ihrer Bogenform durch einen Knackpunkt gebogen wird, bei welchem sie hörbar knackt und ihre Federkraft plötzlich kleiner wird, jedoch bei Wegnahme der Betätigungskraft aufgrund ihrer Federkraft durch den Knackpunkt hindurch wieder in ihre Ursprungsform zurückschnappt.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multiple contact input device. An object thereof is to make it possible to use a single operation member (4) in common for the purpose of controlling a coordinate signal and setting a point thereby preventing two switches from simultaneously operating. In addition, another object is to reduce the number of elements of the multiple contact input device and thin the device. A base (11) is provided with a first switch (2) and four second switches (3) at a periphery of the first switch (2), and the operation member (4) is provided with a first pressing portion (43), second pressing members (44), and projections (45). When the operation member (4) is swung longitudinally and laterally, the second pressing portions (44) press the second switches (3). When the operation member (4) is swung diagonally, the each projection (45) touches a receiving portion of the base (11), thereby preventing the second pressing portions (44) from pressing the second switches (3). When the operation member (4) is pushed, the first pressing portion (43) presses the first switch (2).
Abstract:
Le clavier comprend un circuit imprimé (4) constituant un moyen de connexion électrique et de support pour une entretoise alvéolée modulaire (3) comportant une pluralité d'avéoles (30) de forme carrée, définies par des cloisons (31) et disposées suivant des rangées et des colonnes, des modules de contact (7) ou des modules de voyant montés sur le circuit imprimé dans les alvéoles de l'entretoise, une membrane étanche et élastique (1) solidaire de l'entretoise, des touches coopérant avec les modules de contact au moyen de la portion des touches extérieure à ladite membrane, sur laquelle agit le doigt, et des moyens (105 figure 5, 9 figure 2) de réaliser un effet tactile par basculement rapide.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrical multiple stage switch assembly 1 comprising an assembly casing, a first component carrier, and at least one multiple stage switch 21, comprising a first convex disc contact 21 a, at least one second convex disc contact 21 b, and an actuator means. The first and second disc contact 21 a, 21 b are positioned with their centres substantially aligned, and said first and second disc contact 21 a, 21 b are adapted to flex into an electrical connection when the actuator means is pressed and to flex back into a non-electrical connection when the actuator means is released. The switch assembly comprises one second component carrier 13 for each second disc contact 21 b. A controlling member comprises a controlling part 31 a for each switch 21, and a controlling member is positioned between the component carriers 12, 13 in a way so that each disc contact 21 a, 21 b is facing a controlling part 31 a. The controlling part 31 a comprises a spacing member 32 adapted to limit the smallest possible distance d between adjacent component carriers 12, 13.
