Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a handheld controller, especially a configuration that provides buffering protection.
  • the inventor realized the need of an improved handheld controller in comfortability and invented a buffering protective handheld controller.
  • the main objective of the invention is to provide a handheld controller that provides buffering protection.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a buffering protective handheld controller which main unit has the handheld base in a hollow shape and enclosed by a sticking soft pad with a proper size.
  • main unit has the handheld base in a hollow shape and enclosed by a sticking soft pad with a proper size.
  • it can provide a cushion air-bag effect to fit the user's palm in any shape and any size.
  • the grasping force is significantly minimized during use.
  • the invention further provides the handheld controller with the most grasping comfort.
  • the handheld controller concerned comprises a directional button and a number of functional buttons on one side of the main unit; the surface of the directional button being covered by a soft protective pad.
  • the invention provides a buffering protective configuration for direction button and a number of functional buttons on one side of the main unit.
  • the user is allowed to have greater touch area and more comfortability when pressing the button.
  • the user has finger contact with surrounding buffering devices to reduce pressure. Therefore, the invention can provide fatigue reduction, blistering prevention and benefits like finger protection from callus and deformation.
  • the user when the user presses the button, the user can hold the unit with a firm grasp by fingers, the grasping force being minimized during use; when the user's hand presses the functional button or the directional button to the bottom, the touch action is on the soft protective floating rings around the buttons; this not only provides a greater touch area but also pressure reduction by a multiple sets of buffering devices at the bottom of the floating rings and cushion action on a number of axles and washers; in this way, the user is under a multiple protection from top to bottom.
  • the buffering protective handheld controller in the present invention is mainly to provide a buffering protective configuration for a directional button 2 and a number of functional buttons 3 on one side of the main unit 1.
  • the surface of the directional button 2 is covered by an elastic ring 22, which is a layer of soft protective pad 23. Further, the bottom of the elastic ring 22 is held by a number of buffering devices 24.
  • the buffering devices 24 can be flexible rubber, spring ... etc. to reduce holding pressure (a spring in the Figure).
  • a number of moulded axles 25 at the bottom connect with an elastic pad 26.
  • the elastic ring 22 is allowed to move around the top of a slot 27 and avoids jumping off the main unit 1.
  • the user can acquire better comfortability by direct hand pressing on the protective pad 21 that covers the directional button 2. Especially, before the user's hand presses the directional button 2 to the bottom, it feels the touch on the protective pad 23 on the elastic ring 22 around the directional buttons 2. This not only provides a greater touch area but also pressure reduction by a multiple sets of buffering devices 24 at the bottom of the elastic ring 22 and cushion action on a number of axles 25 and washers 26. In this way, the user is under a multiple protection from top to bottom, which includes the protective pad 21 on top of the directional button 2, the elastic ring 22 moving around in the middle to reduce pressure, and bottom cushion composed of buffering devices 24, axles 25 and washers 26.
  • Such a handheld controller not only has the most comfortability but also reduced holding pressure.
  • the invention can provide fatigue reduction, blistering prevention and benefits like finger protection from callus and deformation.
  • the multiple number of functional buttons 3 have a buffering device, which can be an elastic silicone bushing 31 (as shown in Figure 3).
  • a through-hole 311 of a height h is to incorporate the functional button 3.
  • the buffering device can be a hollow silicone elastic pin 32 (as shown in Figure 4), which connects to the bottom of functional buttons 3 against the bushing 31.
  • the elastic pin 32 enhances the pressure reduction for the functional buttons 3.
  • the elastic ring 33 is held by a multiple number of buffering devices 35, which can be soft rubber, spring ... etc. to alleviate the pressure (spring in the Figure).
  • a multiple sets of moulded axles 36 at its bottom all connect to an elastic washer 37 and are covered by a spring 39, so the elastic ring 33 can float around the top of the slot 38 and avoid jumping off the main unit 1.
  • the buffering device at the bottom of the functional button 3 can provide comfort operatibility by reducing the pressure on user's hands.
  • the touch action is on the protective pad 34 of the top of the elastic ring 33 around the functional button 3. It not only enlarges the touch area but also reduces pressure by the multiple number of buffering devices 35 at the bottom of the elastic ring 33 and the pressure reduction mechanism through a number of axles 36 and washers 37.
  • the user is under a multiple protection from top to bottom, which includes the buffering device at the bottom of the functional button 3, the elastic ring 33 moving around in the middle to reduce pressure, and bottom cushion composed of buffering devices 35, axles 36 and washers 37.
  • the invention that reduces the button holding pressure can provide fatigue reduction, blistering prevention and benefits like finger protection from callus and deformation.
  • the handheld portion of the base 11 of the main unit 1 in the invention is in a proper design of a hollow hole 111, which may be enclosed by a sticking soft pad 112 with a proper size.
  • a cushion air-bag function to fit the user's palm in any shape and any size.
  • the grasping force is greatly minimized during use.
  • Such a handheld controller not only has the most comfortability but also reduced holding pressure.
  • the buffering protective handheld controller provided in the present invention is mainly a unit with a buffering protective configuration for direction button and a number of functional buttons on one side of the main unit.
  • the user is allowed to have greater touch area and more comfortability when pressing the button.
  • the user has finger contact with surrounding buffering devices to reduce pressure.
  • the handheld main unit has the rigid plastic base in an appropriate hollow shape, which may be enclosed by a sticking soft pad with a proper size.
  • the handheld main unit has the rigid plastic base in an appropriate hollow shape, which may be enclosed by a sticking soft pad with a proper size.
  • it can provide a cushion air-bag function and fits the user's palm in any shape and any size.
  • the grasping force is minimized during use.
  • Such a handheld controller not only has the most comfortability but also reduced holding pressure. Therefore, the invention can provide fatigue reduction, blistering prevention and benefits like finger protection from callus and deformation. This invention is considered to have great industrial applicability and progressiveness.
