Abstract

Device for making it possible more easily to input instructions relating to a given program into a small calculator which is programmable but not plug-in. The invention relates to a system making it possible to avoid having to look back and forward between the listing and the keyboard of the calculator during inputting of the program. The principle in itself consists in unwinding a pre-prepared program strip above the keyboard of the calculator, a mirror 8 which is both reflecting and transparent allowing the program strip to be juxtaposed with the keys of the calculator. The device consists of a drive assembly 11, a movable mirror 8 which can be oriented by virtue of an articulated arm 9, a base reserved for installing the contactor 3 adjacent to the calculator housing 2. This device is mainly intended to facilitate and to encourage use of small calculators which are programmable but not plug-in.

Description

L. présente invantion a pour pour objet la possibilité d'introduire ,plus ais mentes instructions,dans les petites calculatrices programables
mais non enfichables.The purpose of this invantion is to introduce easier instructions into small programmable calculators.
but not pluggable.

La méthode utilisée actuellement consiste à suivre l'ordre des pas
ou des octés d'un programe sr un listing pré-étc-LliCette opération entraîne de refait 'obgation de va et vient du regard entre le clavire
de 1 calbulatrice et le listing.The current method is to follow the order of the steps
or bytes of a program on a pre-etc-Lli listing This operation entails redoing the back and forth obgation of the gaze between the keyboard
of 1 heat sink and the listing.

Le dispositif de l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvenient
en fournissant la possibilité d'opérer le déroulement du programe à même
le clavier de la calculatrice.The device of the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback
by providing the possibility of operating the progress of the program
the calculator keyboard.

En premier lieu, le système,suivant l'invention préconise l'établisse-
ment d'une bande-programe à la largeur sensiblement égale à celle du clavier
de la calculatriceet à la longueur déterminée par le nombre de dizaines
de pas ou doctes du programe envisagé.Un miroir, conçu spécialement
s'intercale,entre le clavier de la calculatrice et la bandeprograme,et
permet de suivre le déroulement de la bande-programe sur le clavier de la
calculatrice.Firstly, the system according to the invention recommends the establishment
ment of a program strip with a width substantially equal to that of the keyboard
calculator and length determined by the number of tens
of steps or scholars of the envisaged program. A mirror, specially designed
is inserted between the calculator keyboard and the program tape, and
allows you to follow the progress of the program tape on the keyboard of the
calculator.

Ainsi le dispositif suivant l'invention se décompose en trais éléments
distincts
Un socle
Un miroir intercalé
Un système d'entrainement
Les dessins annexés illustrent-le système /
La figure I représente l'ensemble du dispositif permettant
L'application du système.Thus the device according to the invention is broken down into three elements
separate
A pedestal
An interposed mirror
A training system
The accompanying drawings illustrate the system /
Figure I shows the entire device for
Application of the system.

La figure 2 représente la matérialisation d'une dizaine de pas
de programe sur la bande-programe,avec les quelques cas particuliers
susceptiblès d'étire rencontrés.Figure 2 shows the materialization of ten steps
program on the program tape, with the few special cases
susceptible to stretches encountered.

L'ensemble du dispositif représenté sur la figure I comporte un socle (I)
ayant des dimensions de l'ordre de I9 centimètres pour la largeur,de 20
centimètres pour la longueur et de o,8 centimètres pour la hauteur.The entire device shown in Figure I includes a base (I)
having dimensions of the order of I9 centimeters for the width, of 20
centimeters for the length and o, 8 centimeters for the height.

CE socle comprend dans sa partie droite un logement reservé à la calculatrice
(2),dans sa partie gauche un emplaeement pour le contacteur(3)et ses
boutons poussoirs(4).This base includes in its right part a housing reserved for the calculator
(2), in its left part a location for the contactor (3) and its
push buttons (4).

Ce dispositif étant prévu pour être utilisé avec une calculatrice modèle TI.58
tous les agencements et dimensions sont présenté en vue de ee cas particulier,
m 15 ce système peut inspirer d'autres dispositifs adaptés aux différentes
calculatrices. This device is intended to be used with a TI.58 model calculator
all the arrangements and dimensions are presented with a view to this particular case,
m 15 this system can inspire other devices adapted to different
calculators.

Dans ce cs particulier, un tube vertical (5) de diamètre extérieur
de 2,5 centimètres, s'emboite dans un fourreau (6) saillant à la verticale
et faisant prtie inttgrante du socle (I) sur une hauteur de 3,00 centimètres.In this particular case, a vertical tube (5) with an outside diameter
2.5 cm, fits into a sheath (6) projecting vertically
and forming an integral part of the base (I) over a height of 3.00 centimeters.

Le tube (5) peut être bloqué à l'intérieur du forreau (6) par une vis
à tête molletée (7). Ce tube (5) supporte de miroir partiellement privé de son tain tous les 4mm2 (8) et son bras articulé
(9) coulissant le long du tube (5) par son collier de blocage (10).The tube (5) can be blocked inside the barrel (6) by a screw
with knurled head (7). This tube (5) supports a mirror partially deprived of its tin every 4mm2 (8) and its articulated arm
(9) sliding along the tube (5) by its locking collar (10).

Pana la partie supérieure du tube (5) le système d'entrainement (II) de la
bande-programe se fixe sur une potence (I2) exactement à l'aplomb de la
calculatrice.Pana the upper part of the tube (5) the drive system (II) of the
Bande-programe attaches to a bracket (I2) exactly below the
calculator.

La ligure 2 représente une partie de la bande-programe préconisée
poum l'utilisation de ce dispositf soit s
Un quadriblage (13) dont les intersections (I4) correspondent
a l'axe de chaque touche de la calculatrice,des cercles de couleurs pleins
(15)(Une couleur à chaque chiffre d'unité à l'intérieur de chaque dizaine
de pas de prograne.Figure 2 shows part of the recommended program strip
for the use of this device either
A grid (13) whose intersections (I4) correspond
at the axis of each key of the calculator, solid colored circles
(15) (One color for each unit digit within each ten
no progress.

L'ensemble des couleurs utilisés peut être composé par les sept couleurs
fondamentales du spectre solaire.The set of colors used can be made up of the seven colors
fundamentals of the solar spectrum.

Le demi-cercle (I6) correspond à lapremiére frappe utilisée pour
introduire un pas qui doit necessairement faire appel à deux frappes.The semicircle (I6) corresponds to the first strike used to
introduce a step which must necessarily call for two strikes.

Le demi-cercle (I7) correspond à la deuxième frappe. The semicircle (I7) corresponds to the second strike.

Le nombre des couleurs fondamentales du spectre solaire n'étant pas suffisant pour représenter toutes les unités de zéro à neuf, deux unités pourrint être figurées par un cerclr de même couleur mais affecté d'un symbole différent (I8) et (19).The number of the fundamental colors of the solar spectrum not being sufficient to represent all the units from zero to nine, two units could be represented by a circle of the same color but assigned a different symbol (I8) and (19).

Chaque touche de la calculatrice transmet deux instructions ais alors que pour obtenir une de ces instructionsil suffit d'appuyer
simplement sur cette touche,peur obtenir la deuxième il faut obligatoi
rement faire appel à la toùche fonction. Cette ppération se répétant assez
souvent et pour éviter d'encombrer la bande-programeen employant les
demi-cercles cemase pour le cas précédent un symbole particulier est
affecté & la touche fonction(20) et tous les pas devant utiliser cette touche
sont représentés par un cercle plein de couleur, accompagne par un cercle
concentrique identique à celui entourant le symbole (21) soit exemple (22). Each key on the calculator transmits two instructions ais while to obtain one of these instructions just press
simply on this key, fear to get the second one must obligatoi
Rely use the function button. This pperation repeating itself enough
often and to avoid cluttering the tape-program by using the
semicircles cemase for the previous case a particular symbol is
assigned & the function key (20) and all steps to use this key
are represented by a full circle of color, accompanied by a circle
concentric identical to that surrounding the symbol (21) or example (22).
