Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a remote control device for a receiver.
  • WO 94/01844 A normally consist of a box-shaped body containing all of the circuitry required to generate the signals to be sent to a receiver which converts the signals into commands.
  • the box-shaped body has a plurality of keys which are connected to the internal circuit. Therefore, by pressing different keys (even in particular sequences), the operator can obtain the desired function from the receiver.
  • remote controls are designed to be easily transported and handled by the user and, therefore, are small.
  • known remote controls are made in such a way that they can be held and operated with just one hand.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a remote control device, in particular for domestic appliances, which is effectively protected from external bumps and impact.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to provide a remote control device, in particular for domestic appliances, which is practical and easy to handle.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to provide a remote control device, in particular for domestic appliances, with dimensions which are substantially identical to those of a conventional remote control.
  • the remote control device according to the present invention is labelled 1 as a whole in the accompanying drawings.
  • the device 1 comprises a case body 2, which is substantially box-shaped (illustrated in Figure 2), on which a closing plate 5 is securely fixed.
  • the case body 2 has an internal surface 3 which forms a housing 8. Inside said housing 8 there are electronic control means 7, whose function is to generate electromagnetic control signals with which the user can operate a receiver.
  • a cover element 6 fixed to an outer surface 4 of the case body 2 in such a way that it cannot be removed.
  • the cover element 6 is a sheath made of an elastomeric material which surrounds the case body 2.
  • a power unit 10 (basically, the batteries) is inserted, to allow operation of the electronic control means 7.
  • the cover element 6 has a through-hole 11, allowing the user access to the power unit 10 so that, for example, it may be substituted when low.
  • the device 1 has a sealing cover 12 which normally seals the above-mentioned through-hole 11, and which is fixed close to the hole 11.
  • the sealing cover 12 may be removed, allowing access to the power unit 10 if necessary.
  • the sealing cover 12 is made in such a way that its shape substantially matches that of the through-hole 11 in the cover element 6.
  • the sealing cover 12 (as is schematically illustrated in Figure 2) normally consists of a single rigid surface 13.
  • this sealing cover may comprise a first layer 13 made of a rigid material, and a second layer 14 (illustrated with a dashed line), fixed to the first layer 13 and made of an elastomeric material.
  • the first layer 13 is opposite the power unit 10 whilst the second layer 14 may be an extension of the cover element 6, forming a single, substantially continuous surface with the above-mentioned cover element 6.
  • the cavity 9 is made in the outer surface 4 in such a way that the power unit 10 is distanced from the surface on which the device 1 rests. This feature allows improved isolation of the power unit 10 from humidity and, in general, from harmful substances with which the cover element 6 may come into contact.
  • the case body 2 and cover element 6 have an elongated shape and extend substantially in a direction defined by a longitudinal axis (not illustrated) of the case body 2. Moreover, to improve both the user's grip and the natural barycentre, the cover element 6 has a curved configuration 6a on the side opposite the case body 2 (see Figure 4).
  • a suitable distribution of the weights of the various parts of the device 1 means that, when the device 1 is placed on a surface in such a way that it rests on the cover element 6, it maintains a substantially stable, balanced position.
  • the cover element 6 also has a plurality of mouldings 15 (see Figure 3) which extend transversally relative to the longitudinal axis of the case body 2, and of which at least three, labelled 15a, 15b and 15c, are contact zones for resting the device 1 on a fixed surface PF.
  • two of these mouldings, 15a and 15b, are located at the ends of the cover element 6, whilst the third is substantially at the centre of the cover element 6.
  • the sealing cover 12 of the through-hole 11 in the cover element 6 has a convex shape such that the through-hole remains clear of the fixed surface PF. This protects the electrical contacts from any liquids or other elements present on the fixed surface PF, which might damage the circuits in the device 1.
  • the control means 7 basically consist of an electronic circuit 16 and a plurality of elements 17 for operation of the electronic circuit 16.
  • the electronic circuit 16 is positioned inside the housing 8, formed by the inner surface 3 of the case body 2 and is designed to generate electromagnetic signals to be sent to the receiver (for example, a television).
  • the operating elements 17 are normally keys positioned in a plurality of through-holes 18 made in the closing plate 5. In this way, the keys may be reached by the user who, pressing them, can select which control signals should be transmitted to the receiver.
  • the cover element 6 has at least one extending portion 19, extending transversally to the longitudinal axis of the case body 2, that is to say, parallel with the mouldings 15.
  • the function of said portion 19, which partially covers the closing plate 5, is to prevent any damage to the device 1 if the device 1 is dropped or bumped on the closing plate 5.
  • the present invention has important advantages.
  • a remote control device for a receiver which is made in accordance with the present invention is extremely practical and easy to handle, since the addition of the protective material does not change its dimensions relative to those of a conventional remote control and does not obstruct user access to the keypad.
  • Another advantage lies in the fact that, thanks to suitable shaping of the profile of the transversal mouldings in the deformable material, it is easier for the user to grip and much more secure than a conventional remote control, with reduced risks even for the internal circuits. The risk of dropping the remote control, with consequent malfunctions, is therefore much reduced.
  • the remote control device according to the present invention is extremely advantageous since, with a protective structure like the one described above, the product obtained is substantially the same price as a conventional remote control, but has the added advantage of being shock resistant to bumps and less easy to drop.
  • a further advantage emerges by observing that a careful distribution of the weights and shape of the various parts of the device allows the device to remain in a stable, balanced position when placed with the keys uppermost, despite the fact that the deformable portion has a curved configuration in the area rested on the surface.
