Description

Partially vertical keyboard system.

Object of the invention

The present invention aims at a system partially vertical keyboard, which has a sector of panel containing the keyboard in total or partial position vertical, such that it allows the placement of a plurality of usual keys on any keyboard, in the panel sector located in the total or partially vertical position, keeping at the same time all the keys its functionality, and being the inclined sector of the tilt key panel adjustable to user will, also incorporating a platform for Wired or wireless mouse movement.

Background

Existing and standardized keyboards until moment, they all present a keyboard in a panel in position horizontal, so that in hand scrolling to Reach all keyboard keys must be done in one direction to the right or to the left, therefore occupying A wide area in such directions.

Such provision implies that a very wide movement of the hands in all directions. The same it happens in the visual field, because it is also necessary to make a visual path too wide to visually reach all the keys located at the ends of the keyboard.

The arrangement of the indicator lights of functionality of some keys on the keyboard itself are sometimes also away from the center of the keyboard, contributing to disperse the visual work area of the keyboard.

In addition, the usual provision implies that other elements, for example the mouse, are too much away from the center of the keyboard.

Also sometimes you need more adaptability to the particular needs of each user, as well as the possibility that the keyboard can accommodate different User utensils

The system of the present invention solves and solve all this problem, because it allows the location of part of the keys in a vertical or partially vertical position in the front of the keyboard, bringing the keys closer to the space of work of the user, and also allowing the use of gained lateral space, as well as a better functional layout of light indicators, and greater adaptability to needs particular of each user.

Summary

According to the above, the keyboard system partially vertical is characterized because it consists of a panel of keys composed of two or more sectors of different inclination, the panel keys being located and distributed in those two or more sectors of different key panel inclination, having the keys of the same functionality independently of the key panel sector where they are located and Distributed

It is also characterized because it also includes a platform for displacement and functionality of a wired or wireless mouse.

Also, on those keys whose functionality lights a indicator light on the panel keys when pressed and / or actuated, it is the key itself that It has a light that turns on when it is key is pressed and / or operated.

The different sectors of the key panel with different inclination, have the property of being foldable, and to regulate its inclination at the user's will, presenting its keys the same functionality regardless of tilt conferred on the sector by the user.

The disposition of the different sectors of the panel allows the property to house in or among them utensils of the user.

These and other features will come off better than the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which It is accompanied by a sheet of explanatory drawings illustrating a practical case study that is cited as illustrated but not limiting the scope of the present invention.

Description of the drawings

Figure 1 illustrates a general picture of a partially vertical keyboard system.

Detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention

According to the object of the invention, the partially vertical keyboard system is conceived to allow the use and exploitation of the front part of the keyboard between it and the screen, using the gain and use of the vertical space located in such position.

As can be seen in Figure 1, the keyboard consists of a panel (P) of keys comprising two sectors (S1) and (S2) with the keys (T) distributed in them. One of the sectors (S1) of the panel has a horizontal inclination, while the other sector (S2) is in an upright position or partially vertical.

As explained, in addition to the keyboard with its keys in the conventional horizontal position sector (S1) of the key panel, the system of the present invention presents the added property of presenting on the same key panel (P) another sector (S2) in front and adjacent to the previous horizontal sector, and in a vertical or partially vertical position, where they are located the keys indicated in figure 1, allowing for reach and manipulate them, the user must not make a displacement neither with the hands nor visually towards the right, left or forward, but you can access them performing a shorter and faster movement, both of displacement with your hands as visual movement forward.

With this new layout and location, it produces a time gain in the typing operation, being faster therefore for the user their corresponding work, also finding the entire keyboard within a visual space more compact for the user.

With the free space of the keys of the keyboard end, this part can be used for others purposes, such as placing a platform for movement Mouse over it, bringing it closer to the keyboard itself.

The system keyboard panel of this invention may also present the possibility of being foldable, that is, the two sectors (S1) and (S2) of the keyboard panel located in different planes where the keys can be found fold each other in order to regulate the inclination of the partially vertical sector (S2) of the key panel according to the turn line (G) at the user's discretion, or that can be adaptable to a laptop, or simply take up less space when not in use.

The indicator lights of functionality of some keys, become placed in the keys of those that indicate, which the user does not need take such a wide visual tour towards the end of the keyboard for viewing.

The keyboard also has the ability to power to house utensils in the different sectors of the panel user, be in position superimposed on the sectors of the keyboard, or in the space after the panel sector in position vertical.

The system shown may present the most relevant configuration and components for such functions. You can use the components that have been described or any other components suitable for performing the same type of commitment

The swapped position keys relative to conventional keyboard can be any according to the different Estimates of user needs.

The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated by way of example, at which will also achieve the protection sought. May, thus, this invention be carried out with the means, components and most suitable accessories, the component elements being able to be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, because everything remains this included in the claims.
