摘要： A programmable electrical switch having a housing and a plurality of single-switch-position conducting leads which are positioned in two substantially aligned rows is disclosed. Each of the leads has a proximal end that is disposed within the housing and a distal end that extends outwardly from the housing. The leads are disposed in the housing so that they are electrically independent of one another. The switch may also have a conducting bridge electrically interconnecting the leads in each of the rows. The switch also includes a moveable conductive contact that is positioned between a pair of opposing leads to electrically bridge a gap between the opposing leads.

摘要： A method and apparatus for constructing assemblies for keypads with different key layouts using substrates each having the same pattern of electrical-contact regions formed thereon and domed contact elements. In the invention, a first design of key layouts is selected, a first insulating layer having a plurality of apertures dependent on the first design are provided, and the domed contact elements are mounted to confront corresponding electrical-contact regions of a first of the substrates with the first insulating layer disposed therebetween. Each of the apertures are in register with the domed contact element to thereby produce an assembly having the first design of a key layout. Further, in the invention a second design of a key layout is selected, where the second design of a key layout is different from the first design of a key layout, a second insulating layer having a plurality of apertures dependent on the second design of a key layout is provided; and the domed contact elements are mounted to confront corresponding electrical-contact regions of a second of the substrates with the second insulating layer disposed therebetween. Each of the apertures are in register with a domed contact element to thereby produce an assembly having the second design of a key layout.

摘要： A custom prototype membrane switch panel, kit, and method for construction. Two membranes, an insulative spacer for use therebetween, and a plurality of conductive elements disposable between each membrane and spacer are provided. Spacer apertures in registry with the elements permit electrical contact therebetween upon displacement of one membrane toward the other. The elements are comprised of conductive ink bonded to an insulated backing in any desired geometric shape or shapes, and may be provided individually or plurally in sheet form separable therefrom for disposition between the spacer and membranes. Elements of different colors facilitate tracing different conductive paths created thereby in the resultant switch panel, and the backing automatically electrically insulates crossovers between the elements. One or more of the membranes or spacer has features, alone or in combination, of transparency, having a graphic grid network superimposed thereon, or being hingable to one or more remaining membrane or spacer, facilitating aforementioned registration.
