4 ELECTRONIC COMPONENT EP12703144.1 2012-01-27 EP2668833A1 2013-12-04 STONE, Kate
An electronic component such as a push button switch or a connector comprises a flexible planar substrate (fig 1, 2) which is substantially non-stretchable, that has at least two slits 14 to allow a portion 15 of the substrate supporting a region of conductive material 12 to be moved apart from another portion of the substrate. There can be three or more slits which can be arcuate and overlap an adjacent slit forming a bridge 17 between them. The conducting region 12 can be isolated, and short out two further pads 7,8 on a second substrate 3 or connected to a conductive track (fig 7, 13) and formed from conductive ink. The slits can allow movement out of the plane of the substrate, and in the same plane as the substrate to form a flexible connector (fig 11 and 12) where the slits can extend from opposite edges. The substrate can comprise a laminate, paper, card or plastic membrane and the device can be used in an electronic circuit (fig 9), as part of a game (fig 10), a book, poster, calendar, greetings card or product packaging or point of sale display.

A panel, page or substrate (112) is provided having a tier of electroluminescent (EL) material which forms a pattern corresponding to a series of images (130a-d). When illuminated in accord with a predetermined sequence, the series of images provide an illusion of movement. A sound generator (134) is provided to produce a predetermined audible response associated with the predetermined sequence. One or more flexible membrane switches (164) are coupled to simultaneously activate both the EL material and the sound generator when depressed. The panel may be embodied as a flexible web that is adapted to roll up over a spring loaded shaft.

A switch includes a switch housing having a receiving space, a conductive fixed contact element and a conductive active contact element which are provided in the receiving space and being electrically connected to two terminals of the switch respectively, an actuating member reciprocating movable in a predetermined actuating direction between a rest position and an actuated position, and a conductive spring contact element movable with the actuating element. The spring contact element is in constant contact with the fixed contact element and switched between a state of being in contact with a conductive contact surface of the active contact element and a state of being disconnecting with the conductive contact surface of the active contact element. The actuating element is moved back from the actuated position to the rest position due to spring force of the spring contact element.

20 Interactive book having electroluminescent display pages and animation effects US349888 1994-12-06 US5597183A 1997-01-28 William R. Johnson
An interactive book having display pages which are illuminated via electroluminescent (EL) lamps is disclosed. A typical display page includes characters which may be individually illuminated by an underlying pattern of EL lamps, and membrane switches for the user to activate the EL lamps as desired. The sheets of the book are assembled with back-to-back display pages, i.e. with inner layers of EL lamps and outer layers of characters. The EL lamps may luminesce simply, such as with a single membrane switch for a single EL lamp, or a series of EL lamps may be connected to a sequencing circuit wherein activation of a single membrane switch causes a specific timing and order for luminescence of the EL lamp series. The sequence of the EL lamp series may be set to provide motion effects, such as animation, for the overlying characters.
