Definitions

  • This invention relates to a keyboard, more particularly for data-treating machine, such as cash-register and similar, which is provided with keys with corresponding windows opposite which an identification label may be visibly arranged.
  • the invention has mainly for object to obviate said various drawbacks, and this in a very simple and effective way.
  • a continuous space is provided wherein a common identification label may be arranged, which extends at least opposite the windows from both said keys.
  • a groove running underneath at least two windows is provided, wherein the identification label may be located.
  • the window is formed by a small transparent plate which extends over said space.
  • said small transparent plates are fast to the keys and may be pressed therewith in the direction of the identification label arranged inside the underlying space.
  • the small transparent plate which is fast to a specific key is provided with an overhanging portion over said space for the identification label.
  • the invention further pertains to a data-treating machine which is fitted with at least one such keyboard.
  • Said particular embodiment of the keyboard according to the invention is particularly intended for a cash-register and thus has on the one hand digit keys 1 which are part of the computing portion of the cash-register, and on the other hand article keys 2, which are provided to show the kind of product being charged.
  • Each said keys 1 and 2 has a corresponding window 3 opposite which an identification label 4 is visibly arranged.
  • Said identification label is thus divided into as many identification markings as there are keys in the pertaining row, in such a way that underneath the window from each said keys, the suitable indification marking is located.
  • a continuous groove 6 is provided in the bottom of said space 5, on the side thereof opposite said windows 3, the width of which is substantially equal to the width of an identification label, in such a way that said label is located in the suitable position inside space 5, and may possibly be slightly clamped and this in an uniform way for all the rows.
  • each key row On the one end of each key row, the corresponding space has a sidewise access opening 7 wherethrough the identification label 4 may be slipped underneath windows 3 in groove 6.
  • Said labels 4 are somewhat longer than space 5 wherein they should be arranged, with the result that at least the one end 4'thereof will project through opening 7 whereby said -labels may easily be slipped in and out relative to said space.
  • Each window 3 is formed by a small transparent plastic plate 8 which extends over said space 5.
  • Said small plates 8 are fast to the keys 1 and 2 and may thus be pressed therewith.
  • said transparent plates 8 have over that space 5 which is intended for the identification label 4, an overhanging portion 8', while that portion 8" of said transparent plates 8, which lies over the keys, has an identification color. This thus forms an additional means to distinguish between the various key groups.
  • the overhanging portions 8' of the transparent plates 8 from one and the same key row 1 and Z are located on the back side relative thereto, which makes pressing down same easier.
  • the space height Is further limited due to the spacing between the key rest position and the key pressed-down position lying between 4 and 6 mm and preferably between 1 and 3 mm.
  • the spacing between said small plates is limited to the strict minimum and the top sides thereof when the keys are not pressed, lie substantially in the same plane.
  • the identification label may be slipped inside a closed groove which is covered at the top by a lens-forming strip, whereby the label markings will be enlarged.
  • the projecting ends 4' of the identification labels 4 are connected together, in such a way that said labels may be slipped as a unit in the various grooves 6 of the keyboard.
  • the identification label 4 could be comprised of a sheet 4 which covers a plurality of key rows and even the complete keyboard.
  • said sheet is provided with cut-outs 9 the keys 1, 2 project through, and the small transparent plates 8 are for example removably clamped on the keys.
  • the windows 3, more particularly the small plate 4 from the various keys 1, 2 may be fast to the keyboard frame, that is independent from the keys, and be part for example of a fixed board 10 which lies some distance above the location 6 for the identification label 4 and through which project said keys. Said board may be removably secured, in such a way that in this case use may be made of said sheet with key cut-outs 9 as identification label.
  • Said board may cover all or part of the keyboard, or be comprised of a series strips which each extend between two succeeding key rows.
