Definitions

  • the invention relates to a keyboard arrangement according to the features the preamble of claim 1.
  • Keyboards as data entry devices for personal computers or The like typically have those from typewriter technology known form, after which several, one above the other Arranged rows of keys in a parallel arrangement in a common, largely rectangular keyboard housing are.
  • Such a keyboard comes in braille technology trained operators, it is also very space-saving, but forces the user to one Writing posture with close-fitting arms and parallel alignment of the two hands. This cramped posture does not work, especially with prolonged writing phases rarely physical exertion up to neck and Back pain, tendon irritation and carpal inflammation.
  • keyboard arrangements on the one hand which the two key fields on a common carrier body in rigid assignment with regard to opening angle and Side slope, i.e. without the possibility of an individual Adaptation to the respective user, are arranged (see EP 0 055 220 B1, DE 87 16 224 U1). This "rigid" keyboard layout also takes up a lot of space.
  • keyboards DE 41 08 096 A1, WO 93/01054 US 5 067 834
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object one from an ergonomic point of view both with regard to the opening angle as well as with respect to the lateral, i.e. roof-shaped inclination variably adjustable keyboard like this train that constructive intervention in the keyboard and the additional effort for the adjustment possibility as low as possible can be held.
  • FIG. 1 shows one Keyboard layout designed ergonomically in the basic position.
  • This keyboard layout consists of two keyboard housing 1.2, one on the bottom plates of the two sub-housings 1,2 attached, two sub-housings common support disc 3 and one arranged below it Socket 4.
  • Figure 2 shows the arrangement of Figure 1 with a roof-shaped or lateral inclination, which is a hinge-like Hinge 5 support plate 3 inclinable on both sides by one the base 4 fold-out retaining web 6 in this tilt position is fixed.
  • a smaller angle of inclination can be caused by another holding web 7 can be set, which also can be folded out of the base 4.
  • Both holding bars 6.7 are supported on the support disc 3 along the hinge-like Joint 5 from.
  • the holding bars can also be used in the Support disk 3 are provided, where they then, for example can support in a groove in the base 4.
  • the Support disc 3 is on one side via a hinge trained fixed bearing 8 on the other side by means of a Floating bearing 9 attached to the base 4.
  • FIG. 3 shows the keyboard arrangement with the base removed. It shows the support disc 3 with the in the area of Dividing line between the two keyboard housings 1,2 hinge-like joint 5, preferably as a film hinge, i.e. as a thin plastic strip in the plastic support disc 3 integrated is.
  • the support disc 3 has several as circular arc sections trained recesses 10, in the bottom the keyboard part housing 1, 2 molded catches 11 engage. Further locking hooks 12 engage around the support disk 3 their outer edges.
  • the centering of the two sub-housings 1, 2 with respect to the arcuate recesses 10 in the Support disc 3 is provided by provided in the area of the fulcrum Circular segments 13 that are adjustable in the radial direction are.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show a provided on the base 4 Floating bearing for the support disc 3.
  • This floating bearing exists on the one hand from an arranged on the base 4, inwards inclined pair of rails 14 on which the support disc 3 sliding supports and on the other hand from one in between immersing gripper arm sliding behind both rails 15.
