Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Vorrichtung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a device having the features of
Nach der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass eine Vorrichtung zum Detektieren und Anzeigen des Auftreffens eines Balles ein flexibles flächiges Element bzw. einen flexiblen flächigen Körper aufweist, das bzw. der in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung im vollständig ausgebreiteten Zustand eine rechteckige oder quadratische Form hat. Unter einem flächigen Element bzw. Körper wird in üblicherweise ein Element verstanden, dessen Dicke sehr viel geringer als die lateralen Ausdehnungen ist, und insbesondere ein matten-, schicht- bzw. lagenförmiges Element. Eine der beiden gegenüberliegenden Oberfläche des flexiblen flächigen Elements, d.h. eine ausgedehnte Oberfläche des flächigen Elements, stellt eine Zielfläche für einen Ball bereit. Dabei kann sich diese Zielfläche über die gesamte Oberfläche des flächigen Elements oder in manchen Fällen auch nur über einen Teilabschnitt von dieser erstrecken.According to the present invention, it is provided that a device for detecting and indicating the impact of a ball has a flexible planar element or a flexible planar body, which in a preferred embodiment in the fully deployed state has a rectangular or square shape. Under a sheet-like element or body is usually understood an element whose thickness is much smaller than the lateral dimensions, and in particular a mat, layer or sheet-shaped element. One of the two opposing surfaces of the flexible sheet, ie an extended surface of the sheet, provides a target surface for a ball. In this case, this target surface may extend over the entire surface of the planar element or in some cases only over a portion of this.
Über diese Zielfläche verteilt sind mehrere voneinander beabstandete elektrische Sensorfelder vorgesehen, d.h. Bereiche der Zielfläche, für die im Betrieb erfasst werden kann, wenn sie mit einem Ball getroffen werden. Zu diesem Zweck ist jedem dieser Sensorfelder eine entsprechende Sensoranordnung zugeordnet, die angepasst ist, um im Betrieb beim Auftreffen eines Balles auf eines der Sensorfelder ein für das jeweilige Sensorfeld charakteristisches elektrisches Signal zu liefern. In diesem Zusammenhang ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass je nach Ausgestaltung der Sensoranordnungen eine andere durch einen Ball beim Auftreffen ausgeübte Mindestkraft bzw. eine bestimmte Mindestgeschwindigkeit des Balles notwendig sein kann, damit die Sensoranordnungen das Auftreffen des Balles registrieren kann. Durch die Auswertung der von den Sensorfeldern gelieferten elektrischen Signale ist es auf diese Weise möglich, zu bestimmen, ob ein Ball ein Sensorfeld auf der Zielfläche getroffen hat und welches der Sensorfelder getroffen wurde.Distributed over this target surface are a plurality of spaced-apart electric sensor arrays, i. Areas of the target area that can be detected during operation when hit with a ball. For this purpose, a corresponding sensor arrangement is associated with each of these sensor fields, which is adapted to deliver an electrical signal characteristic of the respective sensor field during operation when a ball strikes one of the sensor fields. In this context, it should be noted that, depending on the configuration of the sensor arrangements, another minimum force or ball speed applied by a ball during impact may be necessary so that the sensor arrangements can register the impact of the ball. By evaluating the electrical signals supplied by the sensor fields, it is possible in this way to determine whether a ball has hit a sensor field on the target surface and which of the sensor fields has been hit.
Die Vorrichtung weist ferner eine Vielzahl von separaten und voneinander beabstandet angeordneten starren bzw. steifen plattenförmigen Elementen auf, von denen jedes einem anderen der Sensorfelder zugeordnet ist. Dabei ist für jedes Sensorfeld ein derartiges plattenförmiges Element vorhanden. Die plattenförmigen Elemente sind in der Weise an oder in dem flexiblen flächigen Element angeordnet, dass sich die Sensoranordnung des jeweiligen Sensorfeldes zwischen dem plattenförmigen Element und der Zielfläche befindet. Auf diese Weise bilden die plattenförmigen Elemente in Bezug auf das Auftreffen eines Balles auf ein Sensorfeld der Zielfläche einen starren Unter- bzw. Hintergrund. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Dimensionen der plattenförmigen Elemente mindestens genauso groß gewählt sind wie die Dimensionen der ihnen zugeordneten Sensoranordnungen und jede Sensoranordnung über ihre gesamte Ausdehnung gesehen von der Zielfläche vor dem jeweiligen plattenförmigen Element befindet. Insgesamt ist darauf zu achten, dass die mechanischen Eigenschaften in Abhängigkeit von der Art und den Eigenschaften der verwendeten Sensoranordnungen so gewählt sind, dass die gewünschte Empfindlichkeit erreicht wird. Ein bevorzugtes Material für die plattenförmigen Elemente ist Polycarbonat oder ein Kunststoff mit ähnlichen mechanischen Eigenschaften in Bezug auf Dimensionsstabilität, Formbeständigkeit, Festigkeit und Zähigkeit.The apparatus further includes a plurality of separate and spaced-apart rigid plate-shaped members, each associated with a different one of the sensor arrays. In this case, such a plate-shaped element is present for each sensor field. The plate-shaped elements are arranged on or in the flexible planar element in such a way that the sensor arrangement of the respective sensor field is located between the plate-shaped element and the target surface. In this way, the plate-shaped elements form a rigid background with respect to the impact of a ball on a sensor field of the target surface. It is advantageous if the dimensions of the plate-shaped elements are at least as large as the dimensions of their associated sensor assemblies and each sensor assembly is seen over its entire extent of the target surface in front of the respective plate-shaped element. Overall, it is important to that the mechanical properties are selected, depending on the nature and the characteristics of the sensor arrangements used, in such a way that the desired sensitivity is achieved. A preferred material for the plate-like elements is polycarbonate or a plastic having similar mechanical properties in terms of dimensional stability, dimensional stability, strength and toughness.
Darüber hinaus sind die Sensorfelder und die entsprechenden plattenförmigen Elemente so angeordnet und geformt, dass die Vorrichtung nach Art einer Matte zusammengelegt werden kann, indem sie einmal oder mehrfach zwischen Gruppen benachbarter plattenförmiger Elemente gefaltet wird. Dabei ist eine matrixförmige Anordnung der Sensorfelder und plattenförmigen Elemente bzw. eine Anordnung in rechtwinkligen Zeilen und Spalten bevorzugt. In diesem Fall stellen die Bereiche zwischen benachbarten Reihen und zwischen benachbarten Spalten längliche Bereiche bereit, entlang derer gefaltet werden kann, d.h. für eine Knicklinie. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung haben ferner alle Sensorfelder, Sensoranordnungen und plattenförmigen Elemente dieselben Abmessungen und dieselbe Form.Moreover, the sensor fields and the corresponding plate-shaped elements are arranged and shaped so that the device can be folded in the manner of a mat by folding it once or several times between groups of adjacent plate-shaped elements. In this case, a matrix-shaped arrangement of the sensor fields and plate-shaped elements or an arrangement in rectangular rows and columns is preferred. In this case, the areas between adjacent rows and between adjacent columns provide elongated areas along which can be folded, i. for a bend line. In an advantageous embodiment, furthermore, all sensor fields, sensor arrangements and plate-shaped elements have the same dimensions and the same shape.
Im Einsatz ist die Vorrichtung dazu vorgesehen, dass ein Benutzer mit einem Ball auf die Zielfläche wirft oder schießt und versucht die Sensorfelder oder ein bestimmtes der Sensorfelder zu treffen.In use, the device is provided for a user to throw or shoot with a ball at the target surface and attempt to hit the sensor fields or a particular one of the sensor fields.
Durch die beschriebene Ausgestaltung einer Vorrichtung zum Detektieren und Anzeigen des Auftreffens eines Balles wird ein Spiel- bzw. Sportgerät bereitgestellt, das aufgrund des Vorsehens eines starren Hintergrundes für jedes Sensorfeld in vorteilhafter Weise eine hohe Empfindlichkeit, Zuverlässigkeit und Reproduzierbarkeit bei der Detektion von Treffern gewährleistet, ohne dass die Vorrichtung an einem starren Untergrund, wie zum Beispiel einer Wand, angebracht werden muss. Vielmehr ist es auch möglich, die Vorrichtung zum Beispiel in einen Rahmen einzuspannen, als der zum Beispiel ein Fußball-, Handball- oder Hockeytor verwendet werden kann. Dadurch wird die Flexibilität bei der Benutzung stark erweitert.The described embodiment of a device for detecting and indicating the impact of a ball provides a sports device which advantageously ensures high sensitivity, reliability and reproducibility in the detection of hits due to the provision of a rigid background for each sensor field. without the device having to be mounted on a rigid base, such as a wall. Rather, it is also possible to clamp the device, for example, in a frame, as for example, a football, handball or hockey goal can be used. This greatly increases the flexibility of use.
Gleichzeitig kann die Vorrichtung dennoch in einfacher Weise transportiert und zur Benutzung eingerichtet werden. So bietet sie zunächst den Vorteil, dass sie für einen Transport durch Zusammenlegen nach Art einer Matte in ihren lateralen Abmessungen verkleinert werden kann. Soll sie dann zur Benutzung eingerichtet werden, muss sie lediglich wieder auseinandergefaltet werden, da die einzelnen Sensorfelder, Sensoranordnungen und Platten in der ingesamt mattenförmigen Vorrichtung fixiert sind.At the same time, the device can nevertheless be transported in a simple manner and set up for use. Thus, it first offers the advantage that it can be reduced in size for transport by folding in the manner of a mat in their lateral dimensions. If it is then to be set up for use, it simply has to be unfolded again, since the individual sensor fields, sensor arrangements and plates are fixed in the overall mat-shaped device.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das flexible flächige Element in Form einer mehrlagigen Matte vorgesehen.In a preferred embodiment, the flexible sheet-like element is provided in the form of a multilayer mat.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind die plattenförmigen Elemente in Taschen angeordnet, die auf der der Zielfläche gegenüberliegenden Oberfläche des flexiblen flächigen Elements oder in dem flexiblen flächigen Element ausgebildet sind. Dadurch können die plattenförmigen Elemente bei der Herstellung oder ggf. auch später vom Benutzer in einfacher Weise richtig angeordnet und an dem flexiblen flächigen Element befestigt werden.In an advantageous embodiment, the plate-shaped elements are arranged in pockets which are formed on the surface opposite the target surface of the flexible sheet-like element or in the flexible sheet-like element. As a result, the plate-shaped elements can be properly arranged and fastened to the flexible sheet-like element in a simple manner during production or, if appropriate, later by the user.
Es kann von Vorteil sein, wenn die plattenförmigen Elemente entfernbar bzw. lösbar an oder in dem flexiblen flächigen Element angeordnet sind, da dann die Abmessungen der Vorrichtung bei Bedarf durch Entfernen der plattenförmigen Elemente von dem flexiblen flächigen Element noch weiter verringert werden können und ein Austausch der plattenförmigen Elemente durchgeführt werden kann, falls eines der Elemente brechen sollte.It may be advantageous if the plate-shaped elements are removably or detachably arranged on or in the flexible sheet-like element, since then the dimensions of the device can be further reduced if necessary by removing the plate-shaped elements from the flexible sheet-like element and an exchange the plate-shaped elements can be performed if one of the elements should break.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind entlang des Randes des flexiblen flächigen Elements Befestigungselemente angeordnet, mit denen das flexible flächige Element an Trägern oder anderen Halteeinrichtung befestigt werden kann, wie etwa insbesondere in einem Rahmen, der z.B. durch ein Fußball-, Handball- oder Hockeytor bereitgestellt werden kann. Als Befestigungselemente können Riemen oder Klettbänder verwendet werden.In an advantageous embodiment, fastening elements are arranged along the edge of the flexible sheet-like element, with which the flexible sheet-like element can be fastened to supports or other holding means, such as, in particular, in a frame, e.g. can be provided by a football, handball or hockey goal. As fasteners belt or Velcro can be used.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Vorrichtung ferner eine Auswerteeinheit auf, die mit den Sensoranordnungen elektrisch verbunden und angepasst ist, um auf Grundlage der von den Sensoranordnungen gelieferten elektrischen Signale zu bestimmen, auf welches der Sensorfelder ein Ball aufgetroffen ist. Eine derartige Auswerteeinheit weist bevorzugt eine elektronische Anzeige auf und ist angepasst, um im Betrieb beim Auftreffen eines Balles auf eines der Sensorfelder in Abhängigkeit von dem getroffenen Sensorfeld ein entsprechendes elektrisches Signal an die elektronische Anzeige zu liefern. Auf Basis dieses Signals zeigt die elektronische Anzeige einen Hinweis auf das getroffene Sensorfeld, einen dem getroffenen Sensorfeld zugeordneten Punktwert oder das Ergebnis einer arithmetischen Operation zwischen einem dem getroffenen Sensorfeld zugeordneten Punktwert und einem vor dem jeweiligen Treffer auf der elektronischen Anzeige angezeigten Punktwert. Letztere Möglichkeit kann zum Beispiel im Rahmen von Spielen vorgesehen sein, bei denen eine Spielrunde damit startet, dass ein bestimmter Startpunktwert auf der elektronischen Anzeige angezeigt wird und dann ein Spieler versuchen muss, den angezeigten Punktwert durch Treffen verschiedener Sensorfelder, denen jeweils verschiedene Punktwerte zugeordnet sind, möglichst schnell genau auf Null zu bringen, wobei nach jedem Treffer eines Sensorfeldes der angezeigte Punktwert um den diesem Sensorfeld zugeordneten Punktwert verringert wird. Alternativ ist es natürlich möglich, mit einem angezeigten Punktwert von Null zu starten und die erzielten Treffer bzw. die zugeordneten Punktwerte aufzusummieren.In a preferred embodiment, the device further comprises an evaluation unit which is electrically connected to the sensor arrangements and adapted to determine, based on the electrical signals supplied by the sensor arrangements, on which the sensor field a ball has hit. Such an evaluation unit preferably has an electronic display and is adapted to deliver a corresponding electrical signal to the electronic display in operation upon impact of a ball on one of the sensor fields depending on the sensor field hit. On the basis of this signal, the electronic display shows an indication of the touched sensor field, a point value assigned to the hit sensor field or the result of an arithmetic operation between a point value assigned to the touched sensor field and a point value displayed on the electronic display before the respective hit. The latter possibility can be provided, for example, in the context of games in which a game round starts with a certain starting point value being displayed on the electronic display and then a player has to try to match the displayed point value by meeting different sensor fields to which different scores are assigned to bring exactly as quickly as possible to zero, wherein after each hit of a sensor field of the displayed point value is reduced by the sensor field associated with this point value. Alternatively, it is of course possible with a displayed one Starting score from zero and summing up the scores or assigned scores.
Zumindest die die Außenflächen des flächigen Elements bildenden Abschnitte des flächigen Elements können aus Nylon, Polyester oder PVC ausgebildet sein.At least the portions of the sheet member forming the outer surfaces of the sheet member may be formed of nylon, polyester or PVC.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist jede der Sensoranordnungen einen oder mehrere druckempfindliche Schalter auf. Jeder dieser druckempfindlichen Schalter ist so ausgestaltet, dass er dann, wenn an seiner Position auf die und senkrecht zur Zielfläche ein Druck ausgeübt wird, ein Stromkreis geschlossen wird, der zur Lieferung des charakteristischen Signals für die Sensoranordnung charakteristisch ist. Dabei ist es in Abhängigkeit von der Ausbildung der druckempfindlichen Schalter wieder möglich, dass ein bestimmter Mindestdruck erforderlich ist, um sie zu betätigen. In dem Fall, dass pro Sensorfeld mehr als ein druckempfindlicher Schalter vorgesehen ist, können alle einem Sensorfeld zugeordneten Schalter, d.h. alle Schalter einer Sensoranordnung, denselben Stromkreis schließen, wobei die Schalter verschiedener Sensoranordnungen verschiedene Stromkreise schließen. Alternativ kann es auch von Vorteil sein, wenn die Betätigung jedes Schalter einer Sensoranordnungen einen anderen Stromkreis schließt oder wenn die Betätigung verschiedener Gruppen von Schaltern einer Sensoranordnung verschiedene Stromkreise schließt, wobei die verschiedenen Stromkreise dann wieder für die Sensoranordnung bzw. das Sensorfeld charakteristisch sind, d.h. verschiedenen Sensoranordnungen entsprechen verschiedene Stromkreise.In a preferred embodiment, each of the sensor assemblies has one or more pressure-sensitive switches. Each of these pressure-sensitive switches is configured to close a circuit characteristic of providing the characteristic signal to the sensor assembly, when pressure is applied to and perpendicular to the target surface at its position. It is again possible, depending on the design of the pressure-sensitive switch that a certain minimum pressure is required to operate them. In the event that more than one pressure sensitive switch is provided per sensor field, all switches associated with a sensor field, i. all switches a sensor array, close the same circuit, the switches of different sensor arrangements close different circuits. Alternatively, it may also be advantageous if the actuation of each switch of one sensor array closes another circuit or if the actuation of different groups of switches of a sensor array completes different circuits, the different circuits then being again characteristic of the sensor array, i.e. the sensor array. different sensor arrangements correspond to different circuits.
Derartige Anordnungen druckempfindlicher Schalter lassen sich in vorteilhafter Weise durch eine Anordnung realisieren, die nach dem Prinzip einer Folientastatur aufgebaut ist. Das flexible flächige Element weist dazu übereinander eine erste Schicht bzw. Lage aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material, eine zweite Schicht bzw. Lage aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material und eine dritte Schicht bzw. Lage aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Material auf. Die dritte Schicht ist zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Schicht angeordnet und weist eine Vielzahl von Löchern bzw. Öffnungen auf, die sich von einer Oberfläche der dritten Schicht durch die dritte Schicht bis zur gegenüberliegenden Oberfläche erstrecken. Auf den einander zugewandten Oberflächen der ersten und zweiten Schicht ist jeweils ein Muster elektrischer Leiter aufgebracht. Die Muster bzw. Leiter sind so angeordnet, dass jeder druckempfindliche Schalter durch zumindest einen Abschnitt eines elektrischen Leiters auf der ersten Schicht, zumindest einen Abschnitt eines elektrischen Leiters auf der zweiten Schicht und eines der Löcher in der dritten Schicht gebildet wird, wobei die jeweiligen Leiterabschnitte an gegenüberliegenden Enden des jeweiligen Loches angeordnet sind. Die Anordnung ist so gewählt, dass beim Ausüben eines Druckes auf die Zielfläche an der Position eines der druckempfindlichen Schalter die jeweiligen Leiterabschnitte, die im Normalzustand durch die dritte Schicht voneinander beabstandet gehalten werden, durch das Loch hindurch in Kontakt gebracht werden und dadurch ein elektrischer Stromkreis geschlossen wird, der in der oben beschriebenen Weise zur Lieferung des charakteristischen Signals für das Sensorfeld charakteristisch ist, zu dem der jeweilige druckempfindliche Schalter gehört. Diese Konstruktion der Sensoranordnungen erlaubt in vorteilhafter Weise eine besonders flache Ausbildung der gesamten Vorrichtung.Such arrangements pressure-sensitive switch can be realized in an advantageous manner by an arrangement that is constructed on the principle of a membrane keyboard. The flexible sheet-like element has for this purpose one above the other a first layer or layer of an electrically insulating material, a second layer or layer of an electrically insulating material and a third layer or layer of an electrically insulating material. The third layer is disposed between the first and second layers and has a plurality of holes extending from a surface of the third layer through the third layer to the opposite surface. On the mutually facing surfaces of the first and second layer, a pattern of electrical conductors is applied in each case. The patterns are arranged such that each pressure sensitive switch is formed by at least a portion of an electrical conductor on the first layer, at least a portion of an electrical conductor on the second layer and one of the holes in the third layer, the respective conductor portions are arranged at opposite ends of the respective hole. The arrangement is such that upon application of pressure to the target surface at the position of one of the pressure sensitive switches, the respective conductor portions, which are normally spaced apart from each other by the third layer, are brought into contact through the hole and thereby an electrical circuit is closed, which is characteristic in the manner described above for supplying the characteristic signal for the sensor array to which the respective pressure-sensitive switch belongs. This construction of the sensor arrangements advantageously allows a particularly flat design of the entire apparatus.
Die erste Schicht und/oder die zweite Schicht ist bevorzugt aus Nylon, Polyester, PET oder PVC ausgebildet, und die dritte Schicht wird bevorzugt durch ein schwammartiges Material gebildet. Sie können zum Beispiel in vorteilhafter Weise durch geeignete Folien gebildet werden.The first layer and / or the second layer is preferably formed of nylon, polyester, PET or PVC, and the third layer is preferably formed by a sponge-like material. They can be formed, for example, advantageously by suitable films.
Es ist auch bevorzugt, dass die elektrischen Leiter durch auf die erste und zweite Schicht aufgedruckte Leiterbahnen gebildet werden. Ein geeignetes Material für die Leiterbahnen ist beispielsweise Kohlenstoff.It is also preferred that the electrical conductors are formed by printed conductors printed on the first and second layers. A suitable material for the conductor tracks is, for example, carbon.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung weist die Vorrichtung neben der ersten, zweiten und dritten Schicht zumindest eine vordere Schicht, deren eine Oberfläche die Zielfläche bereitstellt, und eine hintere Schicht auf, die die der Zielfläche gegenüberliegende Oberfläche des flexiblen flächigen Elements bildet. Dabei befinden sich die erste Schicht, die zweite Schicht und die dritte Schicht zwischen der vorderen Schicht und der hinteren Schicht. Mit anderen Worten werden die Außenflächen des flexiblen flächigen Elements durch die vordere Schicht und die hintere Schicht gebildet. In dem Fall, dass die plattenförmigen Elemente in Taschen angeordnet sind, ist es in diesem Zusammenhang bevorzugt, wenn die Taschen auf der nach innen weisenden bzw. der Zielfläche zugewandten Oberfläche der hinteren Schicht oder auf der nach außen weisenden bzw. der Zielfläche abgewandten Oberfläche der hinteren Schicht ausgebildet sind.In a preferred embodiment, in addition to the first, second and third layers, the device has at least one front layer, one surface of which provides the target surface, and a back layer which forms the surface of the flexible planar element opposite the target surface. The first layer, the second layer and the third layer are located between the front layer and the back layer. In other words, the outer surfaces of the flexible sheet member are formed by the front layer and the back layer. In the case where the plate-shaped elements are arranged in pockets, it is preferred in this context if the pockets on the surface facing the inward-facing surface of the rear layer or on the surface facing away from the target surface of the rear layer are formed.

Alle Schichten 10 bis 14 entsprechen in ihrer Form der Form der Vorrichtung 1 und sind in der angegebenen Reihenfolge übereinander angeordnet und beispielsweise entlang ihrer Ränder, entlang eines Teils ihrer Ränder oder vollflächig miteinander verbunden. Dabei kann es je nach Anwendungsfall von Vorteil sein, wenn zur Erzielung einer gewissen Verstärkung bzw. Formstabilität ein oder mehrere Rahmen 15 vorgesehen sind, die z.B. zwischen den äußeren Schichten 10, 11 und den benachbarten Sensorfolien 12, 13 entlang ihrer Ränder angeordnet sein können. Derartige Rahmen 15, die aus PVC hergestellt sein können, müssen so ausgebildet sein, dass ein Falten bzw. Zusammenlegen der Vorrichtung 1 in der unten näher beschriebenen Weise möglich ist. Die Schichten 10 bis 14 und die ggf. vorhandenen Rahmen 15 bilden in Kombination ein flexibles flächiges Element.All the
Auf der der Isolationsschicht 14 zuwandten Oberfläche der beiden Sensorfolien 12, 13 ist jeweils ein Leitermuster 16 bzw. 17 aufgebracht, das beispielsweise durch aufgedruckten Kohlenstoff gebildet werden kann. Das Leitermuster 16 der Sensorfolie 12 ist detaillierter in
In dem Leitermuster 16 sind die Felder 20 jeder Spalte durch Verbindungsleitungsanordnungen 22a, 22b, 22c bzw. 22d in Reihe miteinander verbunden, und die Verbindungsleitungsanordnungen 22a, 22b, 22c und 22d gehen jeweils in eine Anschlussleitung 23a, 23b, 23c bzw. 23d über, die elektrisch voneinander isoliert sind und an die Auswerteeinheit (nicht dargestellt) angeschlossen sind. Auf diese Weise ist jede Spalte von Feldern 20 des Leitermusters 16 separat mit der Auswerteeinheit verbunden, wobei die Felder 20 verschiedener Spalten voneinander elektrisch isoliert sind. In ähnlicher Weise sind dem Leitermuster 17 die Felder 21 jeder Reihe durch Verbindungsleitungsanordnungen 24a, 24b bzw. 24c in Reihe miteinander verbunden, und die Verbindungsleitungsanordnungen 24a, 24b und 24c gehen jeweils in eine Anschlussleitung 25a, 25b, 25c über, die elektrisch voneinander isoliert sind und an die Auswerteeinheit (nicht dargestellt) angeschlossen sind. Auf diese Weise ist jede Reihe von Feldern 21 des Leitermusters 17 separat mit der Auswerteeinheit verbunden, wobei die Felder 21 verschiedener Reihen voneinander elektrisch isoliert sind.In the
In diesem Zusammenhang sei darauf hingewiesen, dass in der Explosionsdarstellung der
Die Isolationsschicht 14 weist zwölf Bereiche 26 auf, die in ihrer Form, Größe und Anordnung den Sensorfeldern 3 sowie den Felder 20, 21 entsprechen und deren Ausdehnung in
Durch die beschriebene Anordnung der Sensorfolien 12, 13, der Isolationsschicht 14, der Leitermuster 16, 17 und der Bereiche 26 mit Löchern 27 in der Isolationsschicht 14 werden zwölf Sensoranordnungen gebildet, von denen jede einem der Sensorfelder 3 zugeordnet ist sowie durch eines der Felder 20 des Leitermusters 16, eines der Felder 21 des Leitermusters 17 und einen der Lochbereiche 26 gebildet wird und über entsprechende der Verbindungsleitungsanordnungen 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d und 24a, 24b, 24c und der Anschlussleitungen 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d und 25a, 25b, 25c mit der Auswerteeinheit verbunden ist. Wie nachfolgend in Zusammenhang mit der Schnittansicht der
Es ist ersichtlich, dass aufgrund der elektrischen Verbindung der Spalten von Feldern 20 des Leitermusters 16 diejenige Anschlussleitung 23a, 23b, 23c bzw. 23d, die zu dem geschlossenen Stromkreis gehört, die Spalte des getroffenen Sensorfeldes 2 identifiziert, während aufgrund der elektrischen Verbindung der Reihen von Feldern 21 des Leitermusters 17 diejenige Anschlussleitung 25a, 25b bzw. 25b, die zu dem geschlossenen Stromkreis gehört, die Reihe des getroffenen Sensorfeldes 2 identifiziert. Auf diese Weise kennzeichnet der geschlossene Stromkreis eindeutig die betätigte Sensoranordnung und damit eindeutig das getroffene Sensorfeld 2, die bzw. das daher von der Auswerteeinheit bestimmt werden kann.It can be seen that due to the electrical connection of the columns of
Auf der rückwärtigen Oberfläche der Vorrichtung 1, d.h. der nach außen weisenden Oberfläche der hinteren äußeren Schicht 11 sind voneinander beabstandet zwölf Taschen 28 aufgenäht, und in jeder der Taschen 28 befindet sich eine starre Platten 29. Die Anordnung der Taschen 28 entspricht wieder der Anordnung der Sensorfelder 2, so dass jede der Platten 29 von der Zielfläche aus gesehen einen starren Untergrund für eines der Sensorfelder 2 bildet. Dazu decken die Platten 29 mindestens die Fläche des jeweils zugehörigen Sensorfeldes 2 ab. In der
