Tastatur-Aufsatz für OriginaltastaturenKeyboard attachment for original keyboards
Gängige Tastaturen, z. B. an Telefonapparaten, sind in ihrer Größe für gesunde Menschen konstruiert. Viele ältere oder kranke und behinderte Menschen zittern aber mit den Händen so stark, daß es ihnen schwer fällt und häufig sogar unmöglich ist, die Tasten gezielt zu drücken und bespielsweise mühelos zu telefonieren. Beim Wählen treffen sie die Tasten nicht, weil diese Tasten für sie zu klein sind.Common keyboards, e.g. on telephones, are designed to be sized for healthy people. However, many older or sick or disabled people have such a shaky hand that it is difficult and often even impossible for them to press the keys accurately and, for example, to make a phone call effortlessly. When dialing, they cannot hit the keys because they are too small for them.
Spezielle Behindertenapparate sind teuer und unhandlich. Außerdem rentieren sie sich nicht z. B. für Krankenhäuser, in denen wechselnde Patienten ein Telefon bedienen - und nicht alle größere Tasten brauchen. Für viele Krankenhäuser, Altenheime und auch Privatleute wäre es daher sinnvoller, alte Telefone so zu ergänzen, daß sie auch mit zitternder Hand bequem bedient werden können. Diese Ergänzung müßte mit wenigen Handgriffen auch vom Laien zu montieren sein. Darüberhinaus müßte sie z. B. für den Krankenhausfoedarf ebenso einfach wieder abzubauen sein, um das Telefon in seinen Originalzustand zurückversetzen zu können.Special handicapped devices are expensive and cumbersome. They are also not cost-effective, for example, in hospitals where different patients use the same phone - and not all of them need larger buttons. For many hospitals, old people's homes and private individuals, it would therefore make more sense to add extras to old phones so that they can be used comfortably even with shaking hands. This extra should be able to be installed by a layperson in just a few steps. In addition, it should be just as easy to remove again, for example for hospital use, so that the phone can be returned to its original state.
Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen Aufsatz für Tastaturen zu schaffen, der deutlich größere Tasten aufweist als das Original es vorsieht. Dabei sollte die die Originaltastatur nicht beschädigt werden. Dieses Problem wird mit Tasten-Aufsätzen nach den in den Schutzansprüchen aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.The invention is based on the problem of creating an attachment for keyboards that has significantly larger keys than the original. The original keyboard should not be damaged in the process. This problem is solved with key attachments according to the features listed in the protection claims.

Tastatur-AufsatzKeyboard attachment
BeschreibungDescription
Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß die Größe von Tasten aller Art auf die speziellen Bedürfnisse eines Nutzers zugeschnitten werden kann. Der Aufsatz weist die nötige Stabilität auf und kann in seiner Höhe variabel angepaßt werden.The invention means that the size of all types of keys can be tailored to the specific needs of a user. The attachment has the necessary stability and its height can be variably adjusted.
In den Zeichnungen wird als Anwendungsbeispiel das Telefon gewählt.In the drawings, the telephone is chosen as an application example.
Bei dem Aufsatz nach Schutzanspruch 1 handelt es sich um eine Hebelkonstruktion, die den Tasten eine hohe Stabilität verleiht. Besonders wenn die Hebel (3) an zwei Wellen (4 und 7) befestigt werden, erreichen sie die nötige Länge, die sie brauchen, um eine eigene Federung der aufgesetzten Tasten überflüssig zu machen. Wichtig ist, daß die Abstände zwischen Taste und Hebel (a) und zwischen Hebel und Originaltaste (b) groß genug sind, damit beim Niederücken einer Tasten nur die gewünschte Originaltaste mit heruntergedrückt wird. Bei dem Aufsatz nach Schutzanspruch 2 handelt es sich um eine Konstruktion, bei der jede Taste { 9) einzeln gefedert (10) ist, um ein Verkanten im Führungsgehäuse (12) zu vermeiden. Die Stifte, die die Originaltasten herunterdrücken, sind direkt an den aufgesetzten Tasten befestigt. Figur 5 zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch eine Tastenreihe.The attachment according to claim 1 is a lever construction that gives the keys a high level of stability. Especially when the levers (3) are attached to two shafts (4 and 7), they reach the necessary length that they need to make the attached keys superfluous to having their own springs. It is important that the distances between the key and the lever (a) and between the lever and the original key (b) are large enough so that when a key is pressed down, only the desired original key is pressed down. The attachment according to claim 2 is a construction in which each key (9) is individually spring-loaded (10) to prevent it from jamming in the guide housing (12). The pins that press the original keys down are attached directly to the attached keys. Figure 5 shows a longitudinal section through a row of keys.
Gemeinsam ist den Konstruktionen nach Schutzanspruch 1 und Schutzanspruch 2 der Rahmen (2 und 13), der auf dem Originalapparat befestigt wird. Dieser Rahmen kann ein einzelnes Bauelement der Konstruktion sein, er kann aber auch mit der gitterartigen Abdeckung (6) oder dem Tastengehäuse ( 12) aus einem Stück bestehen.Common to the constructions according to claim 1 and claim 2 is the frame (2 and 13) which is attached to the original device. This frame can be a single component of the construction, but it can also consist of one piece with the grid-like cover (6) or the key housing (12).

Tastatur-AufsatzKeyboard attachment
BeschreibungDescription
Günstig ist die Variante, in dem die Tastenkonstruktion so in den Rahmen eingesetzt wird, daß der Aufsatz höhenverstellbar ist. Telefontastaturen beispielsweise ragen je nach Modell verschieden hoch empor. Die Stifte des Tastenaufsatzes müssen aber auf den Originaltasten aufliegen.A favorable variant is one in which the key construction is inserted into the frame in such a way that the attachment is height-adjustable. Telephone keypads, for example, protrude to different heights depending on the model. The pins of the key attachment must, however, rest on the original keys.
Die Figuren 4 und 6 zeigen Ausführungsvarianten, bei denen Schrauben (8) in spezielle Aussparungen (14) des Rahmens eingefügt werden.Figures 4 and 6 show variants in which screws (8) are inserted into special recesses (14) in the frame.
Man befestigt den Rahmen auf dem Apparat, löst die Schrauben (8) und senkt den Aufsatz mit den Schrauben in den Aussparungen (14) so weit ab, bis die Stifte (5 oder 11) die Tasten berühren (d.h.: bis man den Widerstand der Tasten spürt). Dann zieht man die Schrauben an und der Aufsatz hat die richtige Höhe.Attach the frame to the device, loosen the screws (8) and lower the attachment using the screws in the recesses (14) until the pins (5 or 11) touch the keys (i.e. until you feel the resistance of the keys). Then tighten the screws and the attachment is at the correct height.
Bei dem Aufsatz nach Schutzanspruch 3 verlaufen längere Stifte (16) von den aufgesetzten Tasten (15) bis zu den Originaltasten. Die Stifte werden z. B. in Bohrungen geführt, die durch einen Block (17) verlaufen. Dieser Block muß dann auf dem Telefon befestigt werden. In Figur 7 geschieht dies durch eine Stützkonstruktion (18), die seitlich an den Block angeschraubt wird. Eine entsprechende Schraubvorrichtung kann den Aufsatz höhenverstellbar machen.In the attachment according to claim 3, longer pins (16) run from the attached keys (15) to the original keys. The pins are guided, for example, in holes that run through a block (17). This block must then be attached to the telephone. In Figure 7, this is done by a support structure (18) that is screwed to the side of the block. A corresponding screw device can make the attachment height adjustable.
Die Führungskanäle für die Stifte (16) müssen lang genug sein, um ein Verkanten oder Verhaken zu verhindern. Ein Druck auf eine aufgesetzte Taste(15) wird direkt über den Stift (16) auf die gewünschte Originaltaste übertragen. Nach dem Loslassen der Taste drückt die Originaltaste den Stift wieder in seine Ausgangsposition zurück. Je nach Telefonmodell kann es erforderlich werden, die Stifte zusätzlich noch einzeln zu federn.The guide channels for the pins (16) must be long enough to prevent them from jamming or getting caught. Pressing a button (15) is transferred directly to the desired original button via the pin (16). After the button is released, the original button pushes the pin back to its original position. Depending on the phone model, it may be necessary to add additional springs to the pins individually.
