4 Keypad overlay membrane US11694541 2007-03-30 US07572990B2 2009-08-11 Richard R. Struve, Jr.
A keypad overlay membrane provides guidance to a user in selecting an intended key to strike and avoiding striking unintended keys. In one arrangement the overlay membrane is formed by a continuous thin-walled sheet having an outwardly-facing surface and an opposed inwardly-facing surface. Formed into the thin-walled sheet are a first array of raised members and a second array of channels. The raised member array is laid out in a configuration for positioning atop individual keys of the electronic device keypad, with the channel array located between the raised member array. Upon placing the overlay membrane onto keypad, the user can apply a sufficient inwardly directed force to one of the raised members to induce movement of the respective key underlying and aligned with the particular raised member. In another arrangement, an array of concave depressions substitutes for the raised member array and channel array.

PURPOSE: To provide a key board to input character data intended to be applied to a small sized data processing unit and a data communication equipment. CONSTITUTION: This key board has a plurality of recessed parts 12 on its surface 11 and a key element 13 is arranged at the bottom part of each recessed part. When the key element is depressed, the depressed key element replies to designate a character. The data input is conducted by depressing or touching a desired key element with a sharpened tip such as a pen. In the case of input by using the pen, it is preferred to provide a downward conical taper to the recessed part 12. The key element 13 is realized by various technologies, a known mechanical key or a foil key may be used or a virtual key is realized on a touch screen display section. In the latter case, the recessed part 12 is realized by arranging a plate having an opening on the key element 13. COPYRIGHT: (C)1995,JPO
