| Electronic equipment of the present invention includes a first housing 2 with an elastically deformable thin-wall portion 25 formed as a part of the front wall, an elastically deformable spacer member 4, and a sub board 5 on which switches 51 are mounted. The spacer member 4 includes a plurality of elastic members 41 and a second supporting member 46. Each of the elastic members 41 includes an operating strip 41a that is formed so that when the thin-wall portion 25 is deformed elastically, one surface of the operating strip 41a can be brought into contact with a back surface of the thin-wall portion 25 and the other surface can be pressed against the switch 51. The second supporting member 46 is formed so as to protrude between each of the elastic members 41, and can be brought into contact with the back surface of the thin-wall portion 25 at least when the thin-wall portion 25 is deformed elastically. The elastic members 41 and the second supporting member 46 are formed integrally. With this configuration, the electronic equipment does not cause an operation error in which a plurality of switches are pressed simultaneously. | ||||||

| 205 | Method of disabling the keyboard keys of a command-emitting device | US10525694 | 2003-08-27 | US07256726B2 | 2007-08-14 | Alain Bejean |
| The invention relates to a method of disabling the keyboard keys of a command-emitting device. The inventive method is characterised in that it comprises repeated iterations of the following steps: the automatic disabling of at least some keys on the command-emitting device once a command has been sent and the cancellation of said key-disabling operation by means of a specific action on the command-emitting device. One such method can be used to disable the keyboard keys of a command-emitting device when said device is being placed in a pocket or bag. | ||||||

| An electronic device does not carry out control operation corresponding to a signal from an operation button which is kept in pressed state when electric power is supplied. When electric power is supplied, the voltage changing depending on open and closed state of switches SW1 to SW4 corresponding to operation buttons to be manipulated is judged to be a specified value or not. When the voltage is not judged to be specified value, the control unit does not carry out control operation corresponding to the signal from the operation button that has been in pressed state. | ||||||
| 215 | Projections on face electrical receptacle for preventing inadvertent tripping of test switch by oversized electrical plug | US09291544 | 1999-04-14 | US06204449B1 | 2001-03-20 | John J. Putorti; Carol A. Howard; Christopher J. Clark |
| An electrical receptacle includes a receptacle body, test and reset switches and a pair of projections. The body has electrical elements disposed therein for making electrical contact with an electrical plug of various diameter sizes. The body has a face with a set of apertures for receiving prongs of the electrical plug for mating of the plug with the receptacle. The switches are mounted to the face of the body adjacent to the set of apertures and are actuatable to affect operation of the electrical elements. The projections are made of a substantially rigid material and mounted to the face of the body adjacent to the test switch and the set of apertures and protrude from the body. The projections extend outwardly from the face of the body adjacent to the test switch such that upon mating with the receptacle a plug having an oversized diameter will engage the projections and thereby be prevented from making contact with the test switch sufficient to cause tripping thereof and thereby avoid inadvertent actuation of the test switch. The height of the projections is at least as great as the height of the test switch. The projections are located adjacent to opposite ends of the test switch. | ||||||

| A vehicle interior trim panel electrical switch assembly (10) includes a switch panel portion (16) with a continuous outer surface (18). Force sensitive resistor switches (20a-20g) are supported on the switch panel portion (16) and are secured to the inner surface of a skin cover having a continuous outer surface (18) and forming the outer layer of a soft feel composite. The force sensitive resistor switches are embedded in the soft feel composite either as being cast in a layer of flexible foam or being applied within preformed openings in a layer of flexible foam in certain embodiments in which case they are associated with a circuit module (34) that negates preloading effects due to thermal expansion caused by changes in ambient conditions. In a preferred embodiment the correction occurs due to a circuit configuration that corrects for such preloading effects on a deflection rate basis. The circuit module (34) for each switch (20a-20g) may also include a relay in high power applications. | ||||||
