| 162 | Variable thickness EL lamp | US10834591 | 2004-04-29 | US20050242703A1 | 2005-11-03 | Rodney Eckersley |
| An EL panel on a rigid substrate is thinned in selected areas, or overall, to provide a backlight for keypads and other applications that would otherwise require a more flexible panel or additional structure. Lamp materials are deposited on one side of a rigid substrate and then substrate material is ablated with a suitable tool, working from the opposite side of the substrate as the lamp materials. The depth of cut can be constant or variable, enabling one to tailor the flexibility of an area to the desired tactile response for a keypad or to provide clearance in close quarters. The invention is compatible with known process for making an EL panel. | ||||||

| 166 | Tactile effect switch and keyboard using such a switch | US665045 | 1991-03-06 | US5172114A | 1992-12-15 | Claude Bedoya; Alain Cognard |
| In the tactile effect switch and a keyboard using such a switch, the tactile effect is obtained by combining a snap acting switch and the deformation of a stud, axially deformable under compression, which is integrally formed on a membrane made from a resilient material disposed on a support plate and which provides a resilient connection between a key and the switch in the manner of a pusher. | ||||||
| 167 | Keyboards incorporating keys pivotable against biased detent means to operate electrical switches | US477414 | 1983-03-21 | US4472610A | 1984-09-18 | Maurice D. Fuller; David B. Joyce |
| A keyboard, particularly for control of electronics in vehicles, has at least one key mounted in a recess in the keyboard and pivotable about a pivot to press against a shaped portion of a rubber gasket to operate an electrical switch. A display, preferably a multiple character LCD, for labellingthe switch is visible through a transparent member and connected to a p.c.b. by zebra striped members. The display is not obscured by a finger operating the key. The key has a transverse bore in which a compression spring is mounted with balls at the end of the spring to co-operate with stepped generally cylindrical members mounted with their axes perpendicular to the pivot pin and forming detent means to give the key a tactile operation. Preferably the key operates three switches by way of three shaped portions. | ||||||
| 168 | Magnetic keyboard | US49598174 | 1974-08-09 | US3916360A | 1975-10-28 | PEDERSEN EGON A; ROLPH DONALD L |
| A magnetic keyboard assembly including a key stem magnetically held in an unactuated position by the attraction of a magnet to a metallic mounting board and adapted to be reciprocated between an unactuated position and an actuated position where an electrically conductive rubber grommet engages a contact pad having spaced-apart contacts which become electrically connected upon engagement of the electrically conductive grommet. The grommet is characterized by a resilient outer ring spaced from a center portion by a resilient web with the outer rim engaging the contacts first so that the outer ring slidably engages the spaced contacts as the center portion moves toward engagement with the contact pad, thus providing not only good operator touch to the keyboard but also assuring clear electrical contact by the slidable rubbing action of the outer ring.

A key activation system for use in a handheld communication device is provided. The system comprises an activation mechanism associated with a key in the system, a first feedback system and a second feedback system. The activation mechanism is associated with the key activation system and provides a first feedback sense when the activation mechanism has triggered the first activation condition. The second feedback system provides a second feedback sense indicating when the key triggers the second activation condition. In the system, the second feedback system operates independently from the activation mechanism and the first activation condition is triggered before the second activation condition when the activation mechanism is initially engaged. An activation mechanism may be centrally located for a set of keys.
