DE20312529U1 - Writing probe for use with touchscreen of a digital personal assistant has the probe within a sleeve and is spring loaded - Google Patents

Abstract

The writing probe used with such as a digital personal assistant, PDA, that has the probe [3] located within a penstock consisting of a number of components [6-9]. Internally the probe tip [11] is spring loaded [10] and this limits the force that can be applied to a touch screen.

Description

Pen with spring-loaded PDA (Personal Digital Assistant / pocket computer) Tip for pocket computers to operate with touch sensor controlled display area (Touchscreen) is equipped either in a ballpoint pen with gas pressure refill or standard large refill or in a PDA Replacement pin is installed.

The previously known writing instruments with PDA refill are all fixed to the building or the mechanics of the writing instrument connected and are thus when exerting pressure on the tip, in particular while of the writing process, not sprung.

The protection claims 1. to 4th specified invention is based on the problem of a PDA Provide tip that the pressure sensitivity of the surface of touch sensor controlled display areas at Pocket computers and the prevailing operator behavior in practice wearing.

According to the manufacturer of the touch sensor controlled display area of pocket computers, in order to function as long as possible, the surface are only lightly tapped to trigger the respective function.

The operators, based on their normal typing behavior with pen and paper, practice therefore mostly with the tip of the writing instrument, one for the operation of the touch sensor controlled Display area, more than the required dimensions lying contact pressure on the surface of the display surface of the Pocket computers and damage them this thereby or set its functionality and thus the functionality of the entire pocket computer.

In the writing instruments for lettering, some of which are on the market of paper with a quill pen, it works also not to protect the writing pad or the writing Area, it's about protecting the nib. The present invention, however, grants protection of the touch sensor controlled Display area.

This problem is solved with the protection claims 1. to 4th listed Features resolved.

Thanks to the suspension of the PDA tip is when the pressure is too strong on the sensitive surface of the Pocket computers clearly give way to the operator for the PDA tip noticeable.

This makes it clear to the operator that he was the writing instrument presses too hard with the PDA tip.

The operator is therefore felt up the excessive pressure the PDA tip made aware and instructed, the PDA tip less strongly to the surface of the touch sensor-controlled ad slots to press.

When pressing the PDA tip on the touch sensor controlled Ad slot, however the PDA tip is not moved.

Damage to the ad interface thus avoided or their total functional life increased.

With the protection claim to 2. is the writing instrument with round, centrally attached metal or plastic rings, so-called O-rings (image on pages 1/6 and 8), equipped for fastening the protective cap, which is used both via the PDA tip (image Page 1/3) as well as the tip of the gas pressure mine or large mine (image on page 1/11) can be pushed and in the rear area over a Cavity, has a spacer (see page 1/2), which - after the Fastening the protective cap - one A space of half a tip length is available for a spring movement of the To enable the writing tip with the protective cap pushed on.

The mine change takes place via a Unscrew the tip of the gas pressure refill or large refill (image on page 1/11).

This makes it a sprung PDA tip (image on page 1/3) integrated in a ballpoint pen and created a new writing instrument in this way.

With the protection claim to 3. both writing tips with a reversible or transcription protection cap (hereinafter: cap / Image on page 4/12) protected be by this over both tips turned can be.

So it is not around a spring-loaded PDA tip integrated in a ballpoint pen, but a PDA replacement pen with a spring-loaded tip and one smaller ballpoint pen refills, suitable for standard pocket computers, their operation with touch sensor controlled display area he follows.

The lead seat of the mine is in the PDA tip (image on page 4/17) so that the mine can be Stop of the PDA tip (illustration on page 4/17) at the front and the spring pressure is held in position.

The cap is plugged on the desired Side attached.

With the protection claim to 4 the mine over changed a simple plug seat. The PDA tip (image page 6/25) by a stop of the shaft sleeve (Fig. 6/22) and a Stop in the top (Image on page 6/24) of the writing instrument limited.
