Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field composite motion switches.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to a switch, especially for data incrementation or for navigation on a screen, of the type comprising a push button mounted on a central pivot and comprising a plurality of lugs peripheral contact, as well as a plurality of electronic contactors positioned respectively under said contact tabs.
  • This patent application relates to a switch consisting of a control key comprising a rigid central pivot allowing the inclination of the control key by rotation around the top of the pivot and a switching means having a plurality of upper and lower contacts.
  • the inclination of the command key allows to contact a contact upper with one or more lower contacts.
  • the present invention intends to remedy the disadvantages of the prior art by proposing a switch which has a greater number of functions high, without having mechanical elements to inside the switch responsible for imposing an order in which the contacts can be made.
  • the present switch is of the type described above and it's remarkable, in its widest meaning, in that said pivot is flexible and / or elastic and authorizes a joint implementation of a plurality of electronic contactors, even diametrically opposite with respect to said pivot.
  • the number of contact sequences is thus higher and therefore the number of functions induced by movements of the push button on the pivot flexible are also.
  • said flexible pivot allows the rotation of the push button to allow the setting work of a first electronic contactor and at least one rotary movement of the push button relative to a substantially horizontal axis passing through said first electronic contactor, to allow implementation at least a second electronic contactor in conjunction with the implementation of a first contactor electronic.
  • the push button preferably has its center a bump and at its periphery a plurality of hollow, to facilitate incrementation or navigation.
  • said pivot flexible consists of a central axis, retained with play by retaining means and a transverse blade.
  • Said retaining means can be formed by an inverted U shape.
  • Electronic contactors are preferably positioned in recesses formed in a component plate and said cross blade can be bent at its ends to facilitate contact.
  • the speed of incrementing data or screen navigation can be inferred from the interval of time between the implementation of at least two electronic contactors.
  • the switch according to the invention further comprises means to favor a direction of translation particular of said push button.
  • the means to favor a management of particular translation of said push button are preferably made up of at least one element of the type spring cooperating with said push button.
  • the type element spring is an appendage of elastic material, for example foam.
  • the switch (1) is a switch, especially for incrementing data or for navigation on a screen, of the type comprising a push button (2) mounted on a central pivot (3) and having a plurality of contact tabs (4, 4 ') peripherals, as well as a plurality of contactors electronic (5.1, 5.2) positioned respectively under said contact tabs (4).
  • the electronic contactors (5) are by "switch" type example.
  • the switch (1) according to the invention is characterized in that said pivot (3) is flexible and authorizes joint implementation of a plurality of electronic contactors (5.1, 5.2), even diametrically opposite with respect to said pivot (3).
  • the pivot allows the lateral offset of the push button (2), and allows increase the number of possible contact sequences.
  • the push button (2) consists of a slightly curved top which preferably presents center a bump (7) and at its periphery a plurality of hollow (8), above each of the contactors, in order to better reflect on the push button (2) the movement, possibly composed of the finger which actuates the push button (2).
  • said flexible pivot (3) consists of an axis central (10), retained with play by means of retainer (11) and a transverse blade (12).
  • Said retaining means (11) are constituted by an inverted U shape.
  • Said electronics (5.1, 5.2) are positioned in recesses (15, 15 ') formed in a component plate and in that said blade transverse (12) is curved at its ends.
  • the flexible pivot (3) allows the rotation of the push button (2) to allow the implementation of a first electronic contactor (5) and at least one rotary movement of the push button (2) relative to a substantially horizontal axis passing through said first electronic contactor (5), to allow setting work of at least a second electronic contactor (5) in conjunction with the implementation of a first contactor electronic (5).
  • the pivot is preferably both flexible and elastic and automatically returns to its rest position when it is no longer subjected to external pressure.
  • each electronic contactor has 9 possible contact sequences, for a total of 36 sequences for the entire switch but all are not necessarily exploited.
  • the table in the figure 4 illustrates how essentially three intensities (I1 to I3) are determined.
  • the speed of incrementing data or screen navigation can be inferred from the interval of time between the implementation of at least two contactors.
  • the switch (1) according to the invention further includes means for favoring a direction particular translation of said push button (2).
  • These means are constituted, for example by at least one element of the spring type cooperating with said push button (2).
