43 ELECTRIC SWITCH, ESPECIALLY A PIEZO SWITCH, WITH OPTICAL AND/OR MECHANICAL FEEDBACK OF THE SWITCHING OPERATION PCT/EP0112690 2001-11-02 WO0237516A3 2003-02-13 STADELMANN MATHIAS
The invention relates to an electric switch, especially a piezo switch, with optical and/or mechanical feedback of the switching operation. The switch contains at least one switching element (18), especially beneath a cover panel (1), which can be activated by means of an activating element (9). This causes a switching signal to be generated and guided out via electrical contacts. The activating element (9) itself is configured in the form of a passive luminous body consisting of an at least translucent material, which can be illuminated by active luminous means (15). The mechanical feedback of the switching operation can take place using a vibrator which is activated by the switching operation that has been initiated and conveys a vibrating motion to the luminous body (9).

56 SNAP DOMES AS SENSOR PROTECTION US13369808 2012-02-09 US20120200526A1 2012-08-09 Mark Lackey
A protection mechanism for force-based touch sensitive input panels or displays comprising a “snap dome”, e.g., a semi-rigid pliable dome positioned over each sensor for increased overload protection. The snap dome is unidirectionally-resilient to a known point of collapse. It therefore imparts a predetermined resistance to compression over a known range of travel along the z-axis, but is unyielding along the x- and y-axis. As the touch panel is depressed toward the standoff, the snap dome resists compression until it collapses, allowing the touch panel to encounter the standoff. The standoff then imparts dead-stop overload force protection to the sensors. This allows for the placement of mechanical stops (such as stop screws) with a less exacting tolerance. Moreover, the snap domes introduce no x- or y-axis force losses/increases, and do not cause tilting of the touch panel. The touch force remains perfectly perpendicular and accuracy is preserved.
