摘要:
A pressure sensor includes a surface sheet whose front side is an operating surface and a substrate sheet that includes a plurality of switches and that is disposed below the back side of the surface sheet at a predetermined space therebetween. When the operating surface is depressed, the surface sheet is deformed toward the substrate sheet and a switch of the plurality of switches is turned into an input state, and a resolution of a switch signal from each of the switches varies in accordance with the amount of a pressing force applied on the operating surface. Therefore, an electronic device, such as a cellular phone, installed with the pressure sensor can have various functions realized by a variation in the resolution.

A key-board type input mechanism suitable for inputting large quantity of data is provided to a portable information technology device having a pen-input type display device. A keyboard (33 or 35) of the present invention comprises a key top panel portion (12 or 17) on which a plurality of input key portions (12a or 18) that are pressed down when carrying out a key input are integrally formed, a coordinate position information generating portion (13) and contact portions (16 or 19) for changing loads generated by pressing each input key portion of the key top panel portion down into a vertical load, a load distribution portion (14 or 20) for distributing unnecessary loads other than the vertical load changed by the coordinate position information generating portion and the contact portions, by deformation under a pressure. The key top panel portion, coordinate position information generating portion, contact portion, and load distribution portion are layered.

A key sheet having a layer and a display section with the sense of the mirror surface is realized at a low cost, in addition, the key sheet which also embodies a illuminating effects is provided. In the key sheet integrated with a film 2 on a surface and a side of a key top body 1 made of a thermoplastic resin, an inorganic substance layer 3 which is 20 to 100 nm in thickness and is 1 to 20% in a transmittance of visible light is formed on the back face of the film.
摘要:
A telephone set comprised of a top part, a bottom part, a cover plate and a plurality of pushbutton keys. The keys fit into a plurality of oversize apertures in the top part and are held in place by the cover plate. A paper underlay is positioned over the cover plate to obscure apertures that do not contain keys. The oversize apertures in the top part allow the pushbutton keys to be removed without separating the top part from the bottom part.

A touch control panel for use in controlling an electrical device such as a washer, dryer, stove, microwave or related piece of electrical equipment. In a preferred embodiment, the touch control panel comprises an outer panel formed of flexible aluminum. The outer panel includes an outer and an inner surface. The inner surface of the aluminum panel includes a first circuit formed along at least a portion of the surface. The control panel also includes an inner support panel comprising a porcelain enamel metal substrate. The porcelain enamel metal substrate affords a highly durable and rigid degree of support to the control panel. The support panel has an inner surface which is spaced from and disposed substantially parallel to the inner surface of the outer panel. The inner surface of the metal substrate has formed along at least a portion thereof a second circuit. Upon application of tactile pressure upon the outer surface of the outer panel, the first circuit contacts the second circuit. Upon release of the tactile pressure, the first circuit disengages contact with the circuit.
摘要:
A thermoplastic elastomer barrier layer is disclosed. The thermoplastic elastomer barrier layer may be grafted to a substrate for preventing contaminants from permeating through the substrate or for preventing contaminants, which may permeate through the substrate, from permeating beyond the substrate. The thermoplastic elastomer barrier layer is grafted to the substrate by a thermal grafting process.

Electrical switch keyboards comprise a one-piece mat made of resilient material laid in sealing engagement upon a frame within which switching elements are positioned to operate in conjunction with key portions of the mat. The mat is the uppermost layer of the keyboard and comprises the key portions connected by integral spring portions to frame positioning portions. Operation elements carried on integral extensions depending from the key portions of the mat function with the switching elements in the frame to produce switching currents upon actuation of the key portions.
摘要:
A membrane panel including at least one electrical component. The panel includes a rigid support member having substantially planar top and bottom surfaces. At least one void region, or hole, extends from the bottom surface of that support member. A flexible top member including at least one flexible layer, overlies the support member. A flexible bottom member including at least one flexible layer underlies the support member. The bottom member has its upper surface affixed to the bottom surface of the support member. Further, the bottom member includes an integral flexible tail. The bottom member includes at least one electrical component affixed to its upper surface with that component underlying and extending into an associated one of the void regions of the support member. An electrically conductive pattern is affixed to the upper surface of the bottom member and that pattern is electrically coupled to the component to permit its operation in an electrical network.
