Definitions

  • the invention relates to a key block with a bell-shaped or dome-shaped key body made of elastic material, which has an edge delimiting its open side, and with a plastic housing part which at least partially accommodates the key body and into which the key body with its closed side can be used in advance and with outward-facing approaches provided on the key body near its edge, which engage in recesses or pockets which are provided transversely to the axis of the key body in the plastic housing part.
  • Such a key block is already known from DE-GM 8 334 679.
  • the approaches which engage in recesses in the plastic housing part serve to hold the key body uncomplicatedly in the plastic housing part, so that an easy-to-use composite body consisting of the key body and the plastic housing part is formed.
  • this object is achieved by the fact that on the open side of the key body the boundary walls of the plastic housing part which detect the approaches of the key body are formed only by swivel bodies which are integrally connected to the plastic housing part via film hinges.
  • the approaches of the key body are formed by a web which surrounds the key body in the vicinity of its edge and that the plastic housing part has an inner wall adapted to this web with a contact surface which, when the key body is inserted in the plastic housing part is effective as a stop.
  • the pivoting bodies each movable in a plane parallel to the axis of the key body, have holding hooks which, in a locking position of the pivoting bodies, assume a parallel position to the contact surface of the inner wall and in this parallel position to the contact surface of the inner wall one of the Have the appropriate distance between the thickness of the key body bar.
  • the web of the key body is advantageously only gripped by the plastic housing part on opposite sides in the axial direction of the key body.
  • the function of the key body is in no way impaired by the mounting of the key body in the plastic housing part.
  • the key module has an essentially hollow cylindrical plastic housing part 1, which merges into an approximately cuboid base 2 on the side which faces a contact plate (not shown). From this side, a bell-shaped or dome-shaped key body 3 made of elastic material is inserted into the plastic housing part 1, in such a way that the axes 4 of the plastic housing part 1 and key body 3 run coaxially with one another and the open side 5 of the Key body 3 facing the contact plate, not shown.
  • retaining pins 6 protruding from the base 2 of the plastic housing part 1 in the direction of the plate penetrate holes in the plate and thereby hold the button module on the plate.
  • the key body 3 is pressed with the aid of the plastic housing part 1 with an edge 7, which surrounds the open side 5 of the key body 3, and thereby against one another
  • the outside world is closed contact space, in which there are contact surfaces on the surface of the plate, which can be connected to each other by a movable contact 8, which is fixed concentrically to the axis 4 on the ceiling 9 of the key body 3.
  • keyboards When constructing keyboards, it is desirable to be able to handle the key module consisting of key body 3 and plastic housing part 1 together as a composite body, although key body 3 and plastic housing part 1 are parts which are manufactured separately from one another.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 how the pivoting bodies 17 are initially in a free state before the key body 3 is inserted into the plastic housing part 1, in which the holding hooks 18 hold the receiving space 21 of the plastic housing part 1 for the key body 3 release freely.
  • the key body 3 therefore falls automatically into the receiving space 21 under the influence of gravity, it only being necessary to ensure that the closed side of the key body 3 is directed downward in this case.
  • the inner wall 13 of the base 2 automatically centers the key body 3 with respect to the plastic housing part 1 and forms with its support surface 14 a holding edge which acts as a stop for the key body 3 in the direction of insertion.
  • the swivel bodies 17 are brought into the locking position.
  • the holding hooks 18 of the swivel body 17 are located on the side of the web 12 facing away from the support surface 14.
  • the key body 3 is also on the plastic in the direction facing away from the support surface 14 - Housing part 1 fixed.
