Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improvement to the scroll / search wheels for electronic or electrical devices. It relates more particularly to an improvement in the scroll / search wheels used in video devices such as video recorders or the like and known under the term "jog and shuttle".
  • the scroll / search wheels for video recorders currently used either directly on the control panel of the video recorder or on the panel of the remote control essentially consist of two concentric control means. They comprise, in particular, an annular ring which makes it possible to vary the speed of reading forwards or backwards by rotation of the ring and a second means constituted by a central button generally provided with a small cavity representing the borrowing of a finger which makes it possible to carry out various functions, in particular the reading frame by frame the freezing on frame as well as the changes of channels.
  • these knobs are mounted projecting from the front of the control panel. They therefore form an unattractive and bulky element.
  • the present invention aims to propose a new scroll / search wheel which does not have the above drawbacks.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a new scroll / search wheel which is not protruding from the front of the control panel.
  • the subject of the present invention is a scroll / search wheel for electronic or electrical devices of the type comprising at least one first control means mounted inside a cavity produced in the front of the control panel so as to ability to move within this cavity along an axis, characterized in that it comprises a second control means constituted by a button mounted along the same axis inside the cavity so that the outer face of the button is aligned with said facade, the first means being concentric with the button.
  • the cavity is of concave shape.
  • the first means consists of a lug secured to a ring mounted concentrically with the axis of the button.
  • the button is mounted eccentrically relative to the axis of the cavity, the external surface of the button being tangent to one of the edges of the cavity and the tab being mounted so as to move in an arc of circle in the cavity on the side opposite the point of tangency.
  • reference 1 designates the front of the control panel of a VCR.
  • the scroll / search wheel according to the present invention can also be mounted on a remote control of a video recorder in a similar manner to the embodiment shown here.
  • a cavity 2 has been made.
  • the cavity 2 is preferably of concave shape and it has a sufficient diameter to receive the assembly of the scroll wheel / research and allow its operation.
  • the scroll / search wheel consists essentially of a button 3 mounted on a rod 4 coaxial with the axis a . Button 3 can be fixed, with a purely decorative role.
  • the button 3 can be movable by rotation around the axis a or by translation along the axis a. In this case, this button 3 allows frame-by-frame playback with the possibility of freeze-frame or channel changes.
  • Button 3 actually has the same functions as the central button of the scroll / search wheel of the classic type. It is mounted inside the cavity 2 so that its outer face 3 'is aligned with said front face 1 of the control panel. As shown in Figure 2, the button is not cylindrical but formed by a sphere element so as to adapt to the cavity 2.
  • the first control means which makes it possible to vary the front or rear reading speed is constituted by a tab 5 fixed to an annular element 6 which is mounted, as shown in FIG. 2, concentrically with the rod 4 according to the axis a.
  • the assembly consisting of the annular element 6 and the tab 5 is also mounted inside the cavity 2 so as to be able to rotate in this cavity in an arc of a circle 7.
  • the shape of the tab 5 is such that its external surface 5 'is substantially elliptical and is aligned with the external facade. Therefore, due to this construction, none of the elements constituting the scroll / search wheel is protruding from the front of the control panel.
