Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a waterproof modular keyboard with a tactile effect.
  • this type of keyboard has the major drawback of not having a stroke allowing the operator to realize without display means, by simple tactile sensation, if his action has been taken into account by the machine connected to the keyboard.
  • keyboards of the typewriter type with mobile keys having large strokes of the order of 4 mm and making it possible to realize without means of visualization, by simple tactile sensation, that the key has been pressed.
  • these keyboards because of their large stroke, are not waterproof and easy to maintain.
  • the invention combines the advantages of these different keyboards, while eliminating their respective drawbacks.
  • the invention enables a reliable, waterproof, easy-to-maintain, robust, modular keyboard to be produced at low cost.
  • the keyboard comprises a printed circuit 4 constituting an electrical connection and support means for a modular honeycomb spacer 3 comprising a plurality of cells 30, of square shape, defined by partitions 31 and arranged in rows and columns, contact modules 7 or indicator modules mounted on the printed circuit in the cells of the spacer, a waterproof and elastic membrane 1 secured to the spacer, keys cooperating with the contact modules by means of the portion keys above said membrane on which the finger acts and means 105 FIG. 5, 9 FIG. 2 to achieve a tactile effect by rapid tilting.
  • FIG. 1 represents a set of keys 8 resting on a membrane 1 partially removed to reveal a spacer 3 on which the key-membrane assembly rests.
  • This modular honeycomb spacer 3 obtained by molding comprises a plurality of cells 30 arranged in rows and columns.
  • This plurality of housings or cells of square shape are defined by partition walls 31 comprising pre-cutouts 32 so as to modify the dimension of a cell and to obtain cells having several modules of length.
  • contact modules or indicator modules are available depending on the type of keyboard that one wishes to make and, in cooperation with these contact modules, square keys with alphanumeric characters or other signs corresponding to the keyboard that we want to achieve.
  • all or part of the modular honeycomb spacer is used.
  • this spacer in combination with the modular elements constituting a keyboard makes it possible to obtain keyboards easily adaptable to demand.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a first embodiment of a waterproof short-stroke keyboard, in which a printed circuit 4 serves as a means of electrical connection with an apparatus and the keyboard, and as support for a plurality of contact modules 7 arranged on the circuit according to adequate spacings and secured to the printed circuit by solder points also making the electrical connections between the pins 77, 78 of the module and the printed circuit.
  • a printed circuit 4 serves as a means of electrical connection with an apparatus and the keyboard, and as support for a plurality of contact modules 7 arranged on the circuit according to adequate spacings and secured to the printed circuit by solder points also making the electrical connections between the pins 77, 78 of the module and the printed circuit.
  • Holes 40 provided at suitable locations in the printed circuit allow a modular spacer 3 made of thermoplastic, formed by partitions arranged so as to delimit a succession of square cells arranged in a matrix network, by crimping or by screw. come to house the contact modules.
  • a notch 39 is provided on the periphery of each housing formed by four partitions, to allow the mounting of a dome 9 constituted by a curved sheet, of elastic metal, cut according to the shape of a housing.
  • a flat and waterproof membrane 1 made of transparent polyurethane is glued or welded over the entire surface formed by the partitions of the spacer.
  • another interchangeable membrane 2 consisting of a sheet of mylar or polycarbonate which comprises, as required, opaque areas or transparent areas.
  • this interchangeable membrane are reported by gluing or ultrasonic welding of the keys 8, in thermoplastic or any other similar material, bearing the desired alphanumeric inscriptions for the keyboard.
  • a contact module is replaced by an indicator module constituted by an electroluminescent diode 6 mounted in a support 5 and connected to the printed circuit by soldering.
  • an indicator module constituted by an electroluminescent diode 6 mounted in a support 5 and connected to the printed circuit by soldering.
  • Four angles 13 are arranged at the periphery of the printed circuit and secured to the latter to stiffen the entire structure.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show a contact module used in the keyboard of Figure 1 or 5, comprising a polycarbonate housing 74 of circular shape provided with two holes in the bottom of the housing to allow passage of two pins 77, 78 of material conductor, fitted with contact heads.
  • the bottom of the housing also includes two bosses 70, 71 FIG. 4.
  • a contact blade 75 constituted by a thin sheet of conductive material, comes to rest in the housing bearing on the bosses 70, 71 and the pin 77 so that at rest the electrical connection between the pins 77 and 78 is not established, while in the working position it will be established.
  • a thin waterproof polycarbonate film constituting a membrane 76 is glued or welded to the housing 74.
  • This type of contact module used for keyboards of the type in FIG. 2 or in FIG. 5, has the advantage of not having a tactile effect due to the passage of a hard point. This contact module therefore avoids superimposing a tactile effect due to the module, to the tactile effect of the dome 9 of FIG. 2 or of the boss 105 of FIG. 5.
  • the housing 74 has on its periphery a circular rib 79.
  • the membranes 1 and 2 deform, the dome 9 flexes up to a certain limit while opposing an increasing resistance force until the moment when it suddenly switches to the position shown in dotted lines to act on the membrane of the contact module and bring the contact blade 75 into contact with the pins 77 and 78.
  • the sudden tilting of the blade provides a tactile effect which allows the operator to feel that his action has been taken into account.
  • the membrane 1 seals the keyboard while the membrane 2 with the keys allows the adaptation of the configuration of the keyboard to demand and its interchangeability. A waterproof modular keyboard with an interchangeable front face and a tactile effect has thus been created. This keyboard will be mounted against the internal face of the housing 12 of the device of which it is a part so that the seal between the housing and the keyboard is achieved by tightening the membrane 1.
  • the holding in place of the membrane 2 is secured by another means, clamp or clip.
  • FIG. 5 represents another embodiment of a waterproof modular keyboard with tactile effect and with a greater stroke than the previous one, in which there is a support constituted by a printed circuit 4, on which contact modules 7 have been mounted at the locations corresponding to the housings of a modular spacer 3 which are fixed on the printed circuit by means of screws 22 for example.
  • the modular spacer 3 can also be fixed to the printed circuit by crimping or any other fixing means.
  • This modular spacer 3 comprises, like the previous spacer, partitions 31 separating the housings from the pre-cutouts 32 for detaching several partitions and obtaining housings with dimensions adapted to the keys and in addition to the housing covers 33 connected to the partitions delimiting the housing, by a thin veil 34 allowing by pressing on the cover to detach the cover from the grid and to obtain an opening at the location chosen to place a button 30.
  • the partitions of the grid have a flat lower face in contact with the circuit printed, an upper face in which a longitudinal groove 35 is formed and two lateral faces each comprising a vertical portion 36 and an inclined portion 37 forming with the vertical portion 36 a shoulder 38.
  • the face of the covers, outside the housings, is in a plane parallel to the plane in which the upper faces of the partitions are situated.
  • a membrane 1 made of polyurethane or any other elastic and waterproof material that can be easily molded has bosses 100 in the form of a trunk of pyramid 105 with a square base, the upper base of which cooperates with a key or rests on the upper face of the associated cover in the case where there is no key, and whose lower base is secured to the spacer by longitudinal and transverse ribs 101 which are fixed in the grooves 35 of the spacer 3 by gluing, crimping, welding or any other suitable means .
  • the upper base of the membrane boss has a bead 102 sealing with the key 8 which is mounted on this upper base after having made a cruciform notch 107 in the membrane, as shown in Figures 11 and 12 to allow the passage of the latching head 84 of the key 8 with the assembly part 11, comprising a collar 110 which limits the movement of the part 11 coming into abutment against the shoulder 38.
  • the collar also cooperates with the vertical faces 36 of the partitions closing the housing to form a means for guiding the button when the latter is moves vertically.
  • the seal between the keyboard and the housing 12 of the device using the keyboard is ensured by tightening the membrane against the housing 12 for example by means of a device such as that shown in FIG. 5 comprising a nut 122 welded to the housing, a flange 120 and a screw 121.
  • FIG. 6 represents the production and mounting of a multiple key, for example a double key.
  • a double key 81 of length equal to twice the length of a single key plus the distance separating two adjacent keys is produced.
  • This double button has two latching heads 84 which are mounted by means of two assembly parts 11 on the membrane integral with the grid 3 from which a intermediate partition where you want to mount the double button.
  • FIG. 7 shows a variant of the second method of mounting a unitary button with label housing.
