Abstract
The invention concerns a multi-functional games console for playing various games on a PC that is equipped with a "games card". It is distinguished by having a means of converting a steering wheel (car simulation) into motorbike handlebars (bike simulation) or an aircraft joystick (aeroplane simulation). Furthermore, this console is equipped with a handle that can function in the same way as accelerator pedal.<IMAGE>
Description
<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
"Multi-functionele spelconsole"
Deze uitvinding betreft een multifunctionele spelconsole voor het spelen van verschillende spelen op een PC uitgerust met een z. g.
"game card".
Doel van de uitvinding is een structuur te ontwerpen die het mogelijk maakt om een stuurwiel (autosimilatie) om te bouwen tot een motorstuur (motorsimulatie) of een vliegtuigknuppel (vliegtuigsimulatie). Verder is met deze console een handvat voorzien waarvan de functie kan worden gelijkgesteld met deze van een gaspedaal.
Dit wordt verwezenlijkt dank zij de aanwezigheid van scharnierende onderdelen van stuurwiel, motorwiel en vliegtuigknuppel en van middelen die het in elkaar doen klikken of uit elkaar nemen van deze onderdelen mogelijk maakt.
Mutli-configuratie
De 4inONE is een multi-functionele joystick. Hij bestaat uit volgende onderling veranderbare vormen, welke een realistische beleving garanderen van elk specifiek speltype : Algemeen uitzicht Figuur 1 Stuurwiel (autosimulatie) Figuren 2,3 en 4 Vliegtuigknuppel (vliegtuigsimulatie) Figuur 5 Motorstuur (motorsimulatie) Figuur 6
Elk van deze configuraties kan op eenvoudige wijze omgevormd worden tot een van de andere configuraties.
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
Van stuurwiel naar vliegtuigknuppel
Het stuurwiel zit op de console vast met behulp van een klik-systeem en kan dus op een eenvoudige manier worden verwijderd. De stuurkolom, waarvan de hoofdfunctie de verticale beweging is bij vliegsimulaties, kan worden vrijgemaakt.
Van vliegtuigknuppel naar motorstuur
Elk handvat wordt enkele millimeters uit het stuur getrokken, 180 gedraaid waarna het automatisch vastklikt.
Door dezelfde acties uit te voeren maar dan in omgekeerde volgorde wordt teruggegaan van motorstuur naar vliegtuigknuppel en van vliegtuigknuppel naar stuurwiel.
De Function switch zorgt voor de omschakeling tussen de verschillende functies van deze drie configuraties en laat ook toe het geheel te gebruiken als een gewone joystick of als een dubbeljoystick combinatie. De switch heeft volgende standen : 1. Autorace simulatie 2. Motorcycle simulatie 3. Vliegtuigsimulatie 4. Joystick 5. Double Joystick function
De 4inONE heeft eveneens een pedaal unit, hoofdzakelijk gebruikt om gas te geven en te remmen. Er worden evenwel ook een aantal andere functies aan toegekend, afhankelijk van de positie van de Function switch.
FUNCTIES
De benaming 4inONE slaat op de integratie van een multi-functionele stick rechts van de stuurkolom, welke enerzijds met elk van de hiervoor genoemde 3 configuraties een unieke combinatie vormt, en anderzijds ook toelaat het geheel te gebruiken als
<Desc/Clms Page number 3>
een gewone joystick of als dubbel-joystick combinatie.
De hiervoor ontwikkelde technologie laat de integratie toe van al deze functies in een systeem en biedt voor de stick zelf volgende hoofdfunctionaliteiten : CONFIGURATIE FUNCTIE STICK Stuurwiel Gear (versnellingspook) Vliegtuigknuppel Motorstuur Gear (versnellingspook) Joystick Joystick Double Joystick met als extra voorzieningen een 3D View knop en 2 andere knoppen waaraan, afhankelijk van de configuratie, verschillende functies aan toegekend worden. Een overzicht van alle functies voor elk van de verschillende configuraties volgt later.
Het concept en de integratie van alle vermelde functies in een game console is nieuw en uniek. In elk geval dient het octrooi de volgende punten te beschermen : 1. Het concept "4 in 1" 2. Het design 3. De integratie van alle vermelde functies in een game console 4. De manieren waarop alles mechanisch en technisch gerealiseerd wordt.

"Multi-functional game console"
This invention concerns a multifunctional game console for playing different games on a PC equipped with a z. G.
game card.
The object of the invention is to design a structure which makes it possible to convert a steering wheel (auto-simulation) into an engine steering wheel (engine simulation) or an airplane baton (airplane simulation). Furthermore, this console has a handle whose function can be equated with that of an accelerator pedal.
This is accomplished thanks to the presence of pivoting parts of the steering wheel, engine wheel and aircraft billet and of means which enable these parts to be snapped together or disassembled.
Mutli configuration
The 4inONE is a multi-functional joystick. It consists of the following mutually changeable shapes, which guarantee a realistic experience for each specific game type: General view Figure 1 Steering wheel (car simulation) Figures 2,3 and 4 Airplane stick (airplane simulation) Figure 5 Engine steering wheel (engine simulation) Figure 6
Each of these configurations can be easily converted into any of the other configurations.
<Desc / Clms Page number 2>
From steering wheel to aircraft baton
The steering wheel is fixed to the console using a click system, so it can be easily removed. The steering column, whose main function is the vertical movement in flight simulations, can be released.
From aircraft baton to engine handlebar
Each handle is pulled a few millimeters from the handlebars, turned 180 and then automatically clicks into place.
Performing the same actions, but in reverse order, returns from engine steering to flying bat and from flying bat to steering wheel.
The Function switch switches between the different functions of these three configurations and also allows the whole to be used as a normal joystick or as a double joystick combination. The switch has the following positions: 1. Car race simulation 2. Motorcycle simulation 3. Airplane simulation 4. Joystick 5. Double Joystick function
The 4inONE also has a pedal unit, mainly used to accelerate and brake. However, a number of other functions are also assigned, depending on the position of the Function switch.
FUNCTIONS
The name 4inONE refers to the integration of a multi-functional stick to the right of the steering column, which on the one hand forms a unique combination with each of the above 3 configurations, and on the other hand also allows the whole to be used as
<Desc / Clms Page number 3>
a normal joystick or as a double-joystick combination.
The technology developed for this allows the integration of all these functions into a system and offers the following main functionalities for the stick itself: CONFIGURATION FUNCTION STICK Steering wheel Gear (gear lever) Aircraft stick Engine steering Gear (gear lever) Joystick Joystick Double Joystick with an additional 3D View button and 2 other buttons to which different functions are assigned depending on the configuration. An overview of all functions for each of the different configurations will follow later.
The concept and integration of all the listed functions in a game console is new and unique. In any case, the patent should protect the following points: 1. The concept "4 in 1" 2. The design 3. The integration of all mentioned functions in a game console 4. The ways in which everything is realized mechanically and technically.
