241 | Full travel, sealed, fully backlighted keyboard | EP95100269.0 | 1995-01-10 | EP0685860A1 | 1995-12-06 | Dugas, Roger A.; Respaut, James E.; Rhoads, Peter K. |
A backlighted, full travel, sealed keyboard (10). A translucent membrane (20) is disposed between the keys (16, 17) and a printed circuit board (24) and includes a gasket (34) around its perimeter which is sealingly engaged by the housing (12) for the keyboard. Domes (32, 33) for each key (16, 17) are formed integrally with the membrane (20), so that a liquid tight seal is formed between the keys (16, 17) and the printed circuit board (24). The keyboard (10) is backlighted with LEDs (44, 45, 46, 154) disposed on the printed circuit board (24). The domes (32, 33) are configured to allow full travel for each of the keys (16, 17) so that a desired tactile feedback is provided to the user. |

242 | A keypad | EP93105398.7 | 1993-04-01 | EP0565959A1 | 1993-10-20 | Schmidt, Hans-Jurgen; Lindner, Klaus G.; Eversloh, Thoe L. |
A keypad for an electrical device, as illustrated in Figure 3, comprises a membrane having at least one inter-changeable button (40) located thereon. The button (40) can be replaced without affecting the seal integrity of the membrane, thereby preventing damage to circuitry, contained beneath the keypad, caused by the exposure of the circuitry to hostile working environments. |

When an operator applies a removing force which turns in the direction (C2) to a switch portion (b), a projection (a4) abuts against the slope (b71) of a guide (b7), so that the removing force is applied as a reaction from the projection (a4) to the slope (b71). This removing force is divided into two components, one extending along the slope (b71) and the other (F) having the same direction as the center axis (X); thus, it follows that the removing force is converted into the force (F) having the same direction as the center axis (X). This force (F) having the same direction as the center axis (X) moves a pushbutton support (b6) downward, and at the same time, a movable contact (b9) is pulled apart from a fixed contact (b12) through a contact axis (b5). | ||||||

When an operator applies a removing force to turn a switch portion b in a direction C2, a projection a4 abuts against a slope b71 so that the removing force as a reaction is applied to the slope. The removing force is divided into a component working along the slope b71 and a component F working in a same direction as a center axis X. Thus, the removing force is converted into a force F in the same direction as the center axis X. By means of the force F in the same direction as the center axis X, a pushbutton support b6 is moved downward as accordingly moving a movable contacts b9 away from a fixed contacts b12 via a contact axis b5. |
