| 83 | Selection switch panel for vending and dispensing equipment | US896479 | 1997-07-18 | US5898141A | 1999-04-27 | D. Flay Blalock; Paul D. Miller; Arnold D. Phillips |
| A switch panel for use in dispensing equipment which includes a switch plate having a plurality of switch positions with each having an area for receiving and mounting a first electrical switch component thereat, and at least one switch activating selector button having a second electrical switch component fixed thereto. Mounting means are provided for pivotally mounting a selector button at each selected switch position by pressing mounting ears on the selector button through appropriate slots in the switch plate until openings in the selector button are engaged by pivot pins in the switch plate, all without using any tools or connecting elements. A flat membrane switch is used as one switch component, and the selector button is designed so that when contact is made with the flat membrane switch a flange on the selector button also engages the surface of the switch plate to absorb any excessive or abusive force exerted on the selector button, and a sealing flange may be mounted behind all of the slots in the switch plate to provide a seal preventing moisture from passing through the slots in the switch plate. | ||||||
| 84 | User-configurable control device | US756274 | 1996-11-25 | US5729222A | 1998-03-17 | Jerry Iggulden; Richard Crack; Nigel Taylor; Bruce Stevens; Keith Constable; Derek Pyner |
| A user configurable control device is particularly suitable for household devices such as remote control transmitters. A variety of function control elements in the form of keys are provided to the consumer who selects a desired set of the control elements. Each of the control elements has a unique pattern of projections molded into the bottom surface. These projections are in operative alignment with an array of membrane switches disposed on a switching substrate within the control device. The control device includes a front panel that is perforated with a pattern of slots. Each of the control elements has a pair of projecting tabs that look the element onto the control panel so that it is securely retained thereon, but may be released if desired. The projections on the bottom of the element extend through the slots in the front panel to the switching substrate below. The particular pattern of projections is unique to each control element and the corresponding pattern of switch contacts closed upon actuation of the control element determines the function that is performed. | ||||||

| 88 | Television remote control adaptor | US3514 | 1993-01-12 | US5408044A | 1995-04-18 | Alan M. Spiegel |
| A television remote control adaptor includes a protective housing for receiving the remote control unit and oversized pushbuttons for manipulating the remote control unit from outside of the adaptor. The television remote control is held in precise orientation of the adaptor by a spring retainer clip. An aperture at one end of the housing permits the infrared transmitters of the remote control unit to activate a television set. An open mesh is attached across the closed face of the housing adjacent to the remote control pushbuttons. Four or five adaptor buttons are attached to the outside of the mesh and held in place by a pair of leg protrusions that engage the mesh. A longer, thinner protrusion, also attached to the adaptor button, passes through the mesh and contacts the underlying remote control pushbuttons when the adaptor button is depressed by the user. The housing not only protects the remote control unit but it also makes it possible for the pushbuttons to be manipulated by individuals having limited visual acuity or manual dexterity. | ||||||
| 89 | Keypad including membrane with replaceable key elements | US51429 | 1993-04-23 | US5367133A | 1994-11-22 | Hans-Jurgen Schmidt; Klaus Lindner; Theo L. Eversloh |
| A keypad (10) comprises a membrane having a plurality of switch actuating portions (41). The keypad (10) further comprises key portions (44) corresponding to said switch actuating portions (41) and located on an opposite side of the membrane to said switch actuating portions (41) and a plurality of switch elements (18) located beneath said switch actuating portions (41) of the membrane. The membrane extends across the keypad (10) and provides a water resistant barrier between the switch elements (18) and the key portions (44) of the membrane. Removable buttons (40) are provided for the keypad (10) and are attached to the key portions (44) of the membrane, whereby pressing of the buttons (40) causes flexing of the membrane and actuation of the switch elements (18) by the switch actuating portion of the membrane. | ||||||
| 90 | Interchangeable coded key pad assemblies alternately attachable to a user definable keyboard to enable programmable keyboard functions | US629059 | 1990-12-14 | US5150118A | 1992-09-22 | Thomas W. Finkle; Ralph M. Swanson |
| Coded interchangeable key pad assemblies alternately installed on a keyboard so that one of a variety of programmable sets of keyboard functions is enabled for selection by user actuation of the keys. Each key pad assembly has a durable construction and is securely attachable to the remainder of the keyboard. Each key pad assembly is installed on the remainder of the keyboard and interacts with the system with which the keyboard interfaces, preferably a programmable system, to provide a custom key panel for the user so that key functions can be tailored to a desired selection of operations available to the user upon actuation of the keys. | ||||||
| 91 | Momentary "on" switch suitable for keyboards | US670508 | 1991-03-15 | US5115106A | 1992-05-19 | Walter M. Weiland; Michael A. Disch; Patrick L. Ohm |
| A momentary contact switch suitable for use in an electrical keyboard has cylindrical projections projecting from a baseplate with axial bores into which projections of the keys fit and by which are guided and retained. A resilient boot interposed between each key and the baseplate and surrounding the cylindrical projections bears against the underside of the key to keep its switch unclosed except when force is applied to an actuation surface of the key. A movable contact internal to the boot is transported by actuation of the key to make electrical contact with a fixed contact adjacent the cylindrical projection. In a preferred embodiment the fixed and movable contacts both have the shape of a ring and encircle the cylindrical projection. The movable contact in the preferred embodiment further is formed on a resilient surface of the boot. | ||||||

| 94 | Spring unit for a keyboard | US638212 | 1984-08-06 | US4571466A | 1986-02-18 | Hideo Iida |
| A spring unit for a keyboard comprises a base sheet having a specified number of openings perforated thereupon in accordance with a key layout and a number of dome-shaped spring members separated individually from each other, and each bearing a movable contact point for completing a circuit between fixed contact points. Each of the spring members is removably engaged with an opening in the base sheet. The spring members are molded from a high polymer resilient material and are easily replaceable. | ||||||
| 95 | Reconfigurable photo-electric keyboard having removable keys | US075370 | 1979-09-14 | US4292515A | 1981-09-29 | Edward I. Nelson |
| The invention relates to a reconfigurable photo-optical keyboard having removable keys. The keystem of each key is shaped to the key apertures in the keyboard housing. At least one of the sidewalls of the keystem has one or more flexible fingers which have terminal ends at the bottom of the key. There are retainer flanges at the terminal ends. The retainer flanges lock beneath the bottom surface of the optical keyboard when the key is inserted. The flexible fingers are resilient enough to allow the flanges to release and the keys to be removed from the apertures with a strong pulling pressure. Thus, additional keys can be incorporated into an existing keyboard or unused keys removed. | ||||||
| 96 | Adapter key caps | US38195173 | 1973-07-23 | US3848723A | 1974-11-19 | HOGUE L |
| An adapter key cap reduces the possibility of typographical errors on a modern typewriter having character and service keys arranged and aligned in parallel rows. A raised, beveled projection disposed on the key cap allows a typist to tactically know when the fingers are properly positioned on the ''''home keys''''. When a typist is frequently interrupted by other office tasks, a considerable savings in time is assured by the invention since there is no time wasted visually checking the positioning of the fingers after each interruption.
