| 121 | Key system for a communication device | US11129404 | 2005-05-16 | US07385530B2 | 2008-06-10 | Jason Griffin; Roman Rak; Steven Fyke; Norman Ladouceur |
| 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. | ||||||

| An environmentally sealed key switch assembly has a key pad formed from a plurality of individual keys preferably arranged in rows and columns. A first elastomeric sheet has a plurality of holes corresponding to positions of keys in the key pad. Each hole stretches around a corresponding one of the keys in order to provide an environmental seal. A second and unbroken elastomeric sheet stretches under the keys to provide a second environmental seal. The keys press downwardly upon, stretch, and deform the second elastomer sheet and thereby operate an electrical contact. When the key is released the memory of the elastomeric sheets provide a return force to restore the key to normal. | ||||||

| The disclosure relates generally to key assemblies employed in electrical switch operating keyboard devices and more particularly to the improved assembly of parts forming an individual depressible key on such a keyboard. Each key assembly is comprised of parts cooperatively interfitting to provide both audio and tactile feedback for the keyboard as well as a bifurcated electrical contact provision. Included in each key assembly is a spring having a buckling beam member with two end supports that will resist a key depression, a hermetic rubber pad that will also resist key depression and a pair of spring straddling members depending from the key assembly for conveying forces employed to depress the key to the switch associated with the assembly to effect closure of the same as well as for substantially reducing if not eliminating a detrimental contact bounce encountered in the operation of such assemblies. The force transmitting pair of depending members cooperate with the straddle spring to provide a rocker or teetering motion in conjunction with the desired bifurcated action for assuring closure of the contacts. | ||||||
