| 42 | Sequential switching assembly having plural, spaced flexible contact layers | US508477 | 1974-09-23 | US3969595A | 1976-07-13 | Wendell C. Johnson |
| A multiple switching apparatus comprising two spring-like switching members disposed in a tandem array with each integral with its metallic support base. The central area of each of the switching members is defined by a plurality of slots formed in the support base with the length and displacement of the slots defining the force-displacement characteristics of each switching member and, accordingly, of the tandem array. The top switching member moves downward until it produces a first switching function, with further movement of the top switching member effecting movement of the second switching member such that a second switching function is produced. | ||||||
| 43 | Method of forming a deformed, integral switching device | US508486 | 1974-09-23 | US3950846A | 1976-04-20 | Wendell C. Johnson |
| A method of forming a switching device having a movable contact that is an integral part of a metallic support substrate and is supported above the support substrate by a plurality of spring-like legs that are also an integral part of the support substrate. One or more of the switching devices is produced by forming one or more groups of curved, unconnected radially extending slots in a metallic substrate to define support legs, plastically deforming the legs defined by the slots past their elastic limit, and then precipitation hardening the complete structure. The slots can be formed by a photomasking technique followed by an acid etch with the etch being performed from both sides of the metallic support substrate. To provide a desired tactile response characteristic, and to assure movement of a central portion of the switching device past the plane of the metallic support substrate, a portion of each of the legs defined by the slots may be removed to thin that portion of each leg. The plastic deformation may be performed in a male-female die mechanism. | ||||||
| 44 | Protective environment for keyboard actuatable switches | US33737473 | 1973-03-02 | US3829632A | 1974-08-13 | KLEHM W |
| Relates generally to the production of electricial signals from a keyboard, each key of which is individually operatively associated with a switching device whose activation to electrical conductive condition is controlled by the displacement of the key. These switches are hermetically sealed from the atmosphere and are electrically scanned in succession at relatively high speeds and at a repetitious rate such that several scanning cycles occur during the normal activation of a selected key. The keyboard mechanism also includes a shift register having one more bit position than the number of switch devices and into which a bit is introduced into the ''''one'''' position at the instant the scan encounters a closed switch of the keyboard. This bit is then shifted through the register in timed relation to the scan of the remaining key switches and unloaded into the last bit position of the register. A detector senses the presence of a bit in both the ''''one'''' position and the last position of the shift register and upon detection of a bit solely in the one position it delivers a signal indicative of the character represented by the actuated key and upon detecting bits in the two extreme positions of the shift register it nullifies the delivery of such a signal.

| A touch entry switch array comprising a layer of non-conductive material is sandwiched between two conductive layers. Orthogonally disposed conductors are arranged in a matrix and adapted to make electrical connection by deforming an upper resilient, transparent or translucent layer through respective apertures to establish electrical contact. Indicator means is provided to indicate through the apertures the actuation of the associated switch. In one form of the device, the orthogonal conductors are supported on the lower layer and the upper layer is constructed of transparent or translucent conductive material which may be deformed through the apertures to operate the associated switch. In another form of the invention, one set of conductors is supported on the upper layer to be deformed through the apertures to contact conductors on the lower layer.

| A keyboard assembly for a multiple button array in which each push button is individually pivotal about a resilient hinge which is deformable throughout its length or a "living hinge" mounting to a support structure. The engagement of the hinge mounting to a push button is located adjacent the end of the button most remote from the connection of the hinge to its support structure. The hinge mechanism for each button comprises plastic straps extends along both sides of the button to the connection to the button. The hinge axis for the straps is spaced a distance from the near side of the button to produce a button movement of a translatory rather than pivotal movement. The button array disclosed is suitable for use as a telephone push button dialer. | ||||||
