Definitions

  • the invention relates to illuminated keys, in especially the illuminated multi-message illuminated keys independent for equipment facades, in particular aeronautics or automobiles.
  • the illuminated keys used for the equipment have several functions despite their small size, which contributes to the complexity of the keys currently encountered. Indeed, these keys must simultaneously provide electrical contact by pressure on a contactor installed on the front, and a information by means of luminous signage, making generally using a transparent front panel fitted with a cover in the form of the message, backlit by lighting inside.
  • the light sources can be the same color, or different colors.
  • This button consists of a button body rigid produced by injection, which body has internally a housing for a pusher provided with a spring, forming the elastic return means of the button and actuating the contactor.
  • This button is closed on its front side by a label (called cylinder), comprising in transparency the two messages to clarify.
  • the interior of the body of button is partitioned so that each light source illuminate one and only one message.
  • the interior of the body button is usually painted white to favor the scattering of light.
  • a joint seal is arranged around the button body to be clamped between the button body and the front.
  • keys comprising a button fully integrated with a support rim, to which it is connected by a flexible peripheral ligament forming the elastic return element.
  • the electrical contact is obtained thanks to the presence of an inner central finger molding with the button and pressing a switch electric carried by the facade.
  • keys light we mold this type of button in a material translucent, then the exterior is painted black. The face front is then engraved or equipped with a cylinder, for example by collage. You get a very simple touch light. But unfortunately, it is not possible with these kind of keys to get independent lighting of several messages, due to the transparency of the material used, which would drive the different light sources indifferently towards the different messages carried by the front face, which would cause confusion in signage.
  • JP-A-11 73838 The state of the art is also illustrated by document JP-A-11 73838.
  • This document describes a button pusher comprising a unitary element of flexible design, comprising a support rim and a touch body hollows connected by a peripheral ligament, the body being compartmentalized by a central partition.
  • the body key is covered with a rigid cover, the presence of which is actually made necessary by the absence of a block translucent inside the button.
  • the invention aims to design a light touch multi-message with independent lighting, not presenting not the aforementioned drawbacks and limitations.
  • a light touch equipping an equipment facade in particular an equipment aeronautical, comprising a support rim, and a hollow button body ending in a front face of maneuver covered with an engraved mask according to messages to illuminate, said touch body being linked to said edge of support by means of a peripheral ligament, said body, said ligament and said flange being formed so unitary in a flexible material.
  • a block of translucent material divided into blocks by at least an opaque partition substantially perpendicular to the face frontal, is embedded in the interior of the body to extend to the front operating side of the touch.
  • the translucent block of the aforementioned light button not only conducts light, but also stiffen the finger body which is flexible in design, which eliminates the need for rigid casing.
  • each block independently leads the light from one of the sources, each light path being separated from the other by the opaque partition.
  • Each source can so illuminate a different message that is part of the mask common, each facing one of the paving stones.
  • the support flange is shaped to present a functional outgrowth seal protruding from the side of the facade.
  • sealing is ensured without the need for it to use an attached seal.
  • the pavers are joined at the front face.
  • the opaque partition separates them, but the paving stones are always joined by a thin ligament caught between the partition and the mask.
  • the cobblestones are like this more easily handled during the manufacture of the key, especially if more than two blocks are used.
  • the aforementioned ligament strengthens the front face of the body button.
  • the pavers are disjoint. A total optical separation is thus obtained of the two light paths, since the opaque partition can extend to the mask.
  • the mask is a label carrying transparent messages to enlighten.
  • an opaque coating covers the operating face, leaving messages appear to be lit on the operating face.
  • Messages are easily obtained by processes laser engraving. These messages may, as appropriate be secret light off, or be made readable from day by means of a translucent paint.
  • the finger is advantageously carried by the opaque partition.
  • the paving stones are glued into the key body.
  • the pavers are snapped in the key body.
  • the finger body with its or its partitions, and the associated support ledge came overmolding on the pavers, being made of a material opaque.
  • the invention also relates to a keypad luminous, consisting of a plurality of juxtaposed keys having at least one of the characteristics mentioned above, the support rim of said keys forming a peripheral support rim of said strip.
  • equipment 1 of the type computer or aeronautical control box is fitted with a facade 2 in which at least one orifice 3 to accommodate a body projecting from the facade key 4 parallelepiped forming, with a rim support 5, a key 6 according to the invention.
  • the flange support 5 is sandwiched between equipment 1 properly says and its facade, so that this ledge 5 is immobilized between these two elements.
  • the key body 4 is linked at the support rim 5 by a peripheral ligament or membrane flexible 7, acting as a spring to reposition the key body 4 after its operation.
  • the touch body 4, the ligament 7 and the support flange 5 are made of unitarily in a flexible material.
  • This support flange 5 further has, projecting towards the front 2, a gasket 8, intended to prevent only moisture permeates under the facade 2.
  • the joint 8 is in this case integral with the rim support 5, and therefore does not constitute a separate component as was the case with the previous keys.
  • a block 9 of translucent material for example silicone
  • the partition 13 thus separates the block 9 along the entire length of the key body 4.
  • these pavers 11, 12 can be glued in the key body 4.
  • these pavers are molded 11,12 with an opaque material, for example silicone, to form the key directly around the paving stones.
  • an opaque material for example silicone
  • the blocks 11 and 12 each lead the light coming from two light sources 16 and 17 linked to equipment and located respectively behind the paving stones 11 and 12.
  • These light sources can for example be light-emitting diodes (LEDs), controlled for light up according to a defined logic and established in equipment.
  • the presence of the opaque partition 13 prevents that a light source assigned to a paver illuminates the paver adjacent. Each block therefore conducts the light of a only source.
  • two sources are different colors, you get a two-tone touch.
  • Pavers 11 and 12 extend to one side maneuvering front 19, or front face, for driving the light outside the light button 6.
  • This front face 19 is covered with a mask 18.
  • these masks 18 let appear transparently two patterns for each light touch bi-messages, some of which correspond to a message readable such as (ON, OFF, CALL, STOP, MECH), others representing a symbolic motif (square, rectangle, or any other form), each one plumb with a paving stone. Each motif or message is therefore illuminated by a single source.
  • This mask 18 can consist of a label glued to the front face 19.
  • this mask it is possible to manufacture this mask by covering the front face 19 with an opaque coating, then eliminating the part of this corresponding coating to the desired patterns or messages, for example by a laser engraving process.
  • the messages can be secret, that is to say that messages cannot be read during the day if they are not enlightened; alternatively, messages can be rendered readable by day using, for example, paint translucent.
  • the partition 13 carries a projecting finger 14 directed to the equipment, to activate an electrical contactor associated 15 secured to the equipment 1.
  • FIG. 3 presents a series of key body 52 grouped into a bar marked 50, comprising a peripheral peripheral flange 51, formed at from the support edges of the illuminated buttons as well juxtaposed.
  • the peripheral seal (not visible in the figure) then guarantees overall tightness for the entire strip thus formed.
  • the shape of the key is not limited to a parallelepiped, but can on the contrary take any type of shape, polygonal, circular or other.
  • partition (s) are not necessarily rectilinear.
