摘要: A method of making a keyboard including, a number of switch keys fixedly provided on one surface of a resilient plastic sheet a number of moving contacts formed on the other surface of the resilient plastic sheet. The keys are formed of a plastic material having a melting temperature lower than that of the resilient plastic sheet.Thermoplastic bond layers are deposited on both surfaces of the resilient plastic sheet. The melting point of the thermoplastic bond layers is lower than that of the switch keys.The resilient plastic sheet is placed in a metal mold which has cavities (101a) at predetermined places.Melted plastic material is injected into the cavities to form the switch keys and at the same time cause the portions of thermoplastic bond layers which contact the injected melted plastic to be melted by the heat of the injected melted plastic material and to bond the switch keys onto the resilient plastic sheet.

摘要: A "membrane"-type keyboard includes a resilient foam layer having an array of holes therein with the layer being sandwiched between first and second flexible membranes having electrical conductors thereon which are arranged to complete a circuit associated with a hole when the first and second membranes are moved toward each other. Embodiments including dome-shaped areas in the first flexible membranes provide for "tactile feedback" and additional foam layers enhance the operating characteristics of the embodiments. The method generally entails determining the operating parameters of a desired keyboard and simply changing the relative density and/or thicknesses of various layers and flexible membranes in the keyboard to obtain radically variable paremeters, as for example, the location of the "makepoint" of the switch at various positions between the start and end of "key travel."

摘要: An assembly for manufacture of a membrane switch includes a composite formed of first and second layers, one substantially thicker than the other, with the composite having a size and shape to form both outer members of a membrane switch when folded back upon itself. Metallic conductors, preferably silver, are formed on the composite prior to folding. A spacer member having spaced openings therein and extending over approximately half of the area of the composite is positioned thereupon. After the composite is folded over the spacer member, laminating heat and pressure are applied to the assembly with the result that a bond is formed between the spacer member and composite and between the layers of the composite.

摘要: A key signal entering device for thin electronic apparatus comprises paired electrodes provided on an insulating substrate, an anisotropically electroconductive sheet disposed on said electrodes and a layer of an electroconductive material disposed thereon. A key signal is generated by selectively pressing said device from above to modify the electroconductive area in the thickness direction of said anisotropically electroconductive sheet thereby electrically connecting said electrodes with said electroconductive layer. An alternative device comprises an anisotropically electroconductive sheet sandwiched between flexible sheets having electrodes arranged in mutually facing relationship, wherein a key signal is generated by pressing said flexible film to render said anisotropically electroconductive sheet conductive thereby electrically connecting electrodes on said flexible sheets.

摘要: A membrane switch includes a substrate having a plurality of first conductors formed thereon and a flexible membrane having a plurality of second conductors formed thereon. A spacer is positioned between the substrate and membrane and there are openings in the spacer in register with aligned first and second conductors. To isolate the switch membrane, there is a pressure reduction membrane overlying and in contact with the exterior of the switch membrane and an isolation membrane positioned on top of the pressure reduction membrane. Areas of the pressure reduction membrane in register with the spacer openings are formed to reduce the required force thereupon to effect movement of the switch membrane.

摘要: A keyboard switch construction in which contacting surfaces in spaced apposition on resilient, flexible, electrically non-conductive laminae are prevented from making contact in the absence of outside pressure by ribs formed in the material and substantially surrounding the conducting surface on one lamina. The switch construction is used in a control panel arrangement in which pilot and operative components are separately mounted and are associated by printed circuitry carried on a flexible insulating strip which may be physically continuous or may be electrically continuous using a multi-contact connector to interconnect two physically separate halves of the sheet.

摘要: Presently described touch sensitive indicating panels have thin but durably constructed plastic overlay membranes serving to: (a) transmit touch actuation pressure to underlying elastic diaphragm switch contacts arrayed at selected points of a pre-dimensioned grid; (b) transmit rear projection light indications received through spaces between switch grid conductors from suitably positioned light sources; (c) transmit alphanumeric light indications from suitably located arrays of light sources; (d) allow viewing of fixed information behind panels through suitably located areas; (e) display permanent indicia of artwork and nomenclature designating touch sensing and rear projection sites and functions; and (f) complete a housing enclosure. Panels for various host systems (e.g. computers, peripheral terminals, etc.) are assembled in various shapes and function types from a limited inventory of modular touch switches and control circuits. In the switch modules crossed grids of spaced conductors, which are prefabricated on transparent flexible support films, have pairs of spaced parallel contact segments subject to flexure into contact at positions offset from the grid intersections. The grids have predetermined dimensions of intersection spacing and the offset contact pairs have specific design features for enhanced integrity and reliability of contact operation. Modular sensing circuits perform the functions of: scanning contacts of the panel switch modules for touch closure conditions; representing locations of closure conditions at predetermined locations; providing audible feedback (beep tone) of contact sensing, and translating sensed contact conditions into panel light indications and/or electrical control functions. Various arrangements are described for producing complex control and indicating effects based upon combinational sensing of particular contact sequences.

摘要: A printed circuit keyboard having contacts thereon with leads from the contacts passing through the board and connected to conductors on the underside of the board. A ground plane in the form of a conductive sheet is positioned above the contacts and biased out of contact therefrom. This sheet could be Mylar plated with nickel. The Mylar sheet is positioned over an apertured member aligned with the contacts to provide the biasing. The Mylar is sufficiently taut so that only one contact can be positioned against the depressed Mylar sheet at one time. A cellophane or other member can be placed over the Mylar and aligned with the apertures to provide numeric indicators for the keyboard.
