Abstract
Description
L'objet de l'invention concerne un clavier avec plaque indexée amovible identifiant les fonctions des touches et les programmations à utiliser. The object of the invention relates to a keyboard with a removable index plate identifying the functions of the keys and the programming to be used.
Il est destiné à permettre des affectations multiples d'un clavier de commande par indexation de chaque touche pour indiquer sa fonction sur l'appareillage concerné et également à identifier la programmation utilisée de façon à réaliser par l'interchangeabilité instantanée de la plaque les multiples applications d'un même clavier. It is intended to allow multiple assignments of a control keyboard by indexing each key to indicate its function on the device concerned and also to identify the programming used so as to achieve multiple applications by instant interchangeability of the plate on the same keyboard.
Le développement des programmes informatiques sur disques ou cartes permet de changer rapidement l'utilisation d'une machine informatique dans des domaines très différents. The development of computer programs on disks or cards makes it possible to quickly change the use of a computer machine in very different fields.
Les instructions et données fournies par la machine se font le plus souvent par l'utilisation d'un clavier. Les claviers actuels sont constitués par un ensemble de touches marquées de signes et caractères alphanumériques identiques à des machines à écrire.The instructions and data provided by the machine are most often done using a keyboard. Current keyboards consist of a set of keys marked with alphanumeric signs and characters identical to typewriters.
Ce marquage est généralement incorporé à la touche, quelquefois on utilise des index amovibles mais leur mise en place est délicate ; on utilise alors des grilles ou masques permettant un changement d'affectation ;mais la surface de marquage est réduite par l'emplacement et la forme des touches. Dans tous les cas il n'existe aucun repérage entre les divers changements d'affectation des touches et le fonctionnement de la machine.This marking is generally incorporated into the key, sometimes removable indexes are used but their positioning is delicate; we then use grids or masks allowing a change of assignment; but the marking surface is reduced by the location and the shape of the keys. In all cases, there is no identification between the various changes in key assignment and the operation of the machine.
L'objet de l'invention permet d'effectuer un changement rapide et précis d ' identification d'un clavier tout en indiquant automatiquement sa fonction et également le code de l'utilisateur compte tenu de la machine avec laquelle il est connecté ce dispositif amovible est jumelé à un support mémoire magnétique ou électronique contenant les identification des programmes et données. The object of the invention makes it possible to carry out a rapid and precise change of identification of a keyboard while automatically indicating its function and also the user code taking into account the machine with which it is connected this removable device is combined with a magnetic or electronic memory medium containing the identification of programs and data.
Il est constitué d'abord par la combinaison d'un clavier porte touches avec paroi réceptrice d'une surface recouvrante, ensuite par une plaque amovible semi rigide, mais également suffisamment souple et résistante pour subir une déformation digitale de contact avec la touche, et porteuse non seulement d'index correspondant à chaque touche du clavier, mais encore un élément code agissant sur un récepteur identifiant sa programmation. It is made up first of all by the combination of a keypad carrying keys with a receiving wall of an overlapping surface, then by a removable semi-rigid plate, but also sufficiently flexible and resistant to undergo a digital deformation of contact with the key, and carrying not only an index corresponding to each key on the keyboard, but also a code element acting on a receiver identifying its programming.
Sur les dessins annexés donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention
La figure 1 représente vu en coupe et en élévation le positionnement des claviers et partie indexée amovible.In the accompanying drawings given by way of nonlimiting example of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention
Figure 1 shows in section and in elevation the positioning of the keyboards and removable indexed part.
La figure 2 est une vue en plan du clavier dans son ensemble. Figure 2 is a plan view of the keyboard as a whole.
La figure 3 représente le détail d'exécution du positionnement des parties indexées amovibles sur le cadre du clavier. Figure 3 shows the execution detail of the positioning of the removable indexed parts on the keyboard frame.
Le clavier est constitué par un fond rigide 1 supportant une série de contacts électriques 2 à touches et éléments mobiles 3. The keyboard consists of a rigid bottom 1 supporting a series of electrical contacts 2 with keys and movable elements 3.
Ces pièces mobiles 3 sont protégées et isolées par un film 4 et recouvertes par une feuille en résine synthétique plane légèrement souple et élastique 5 pouvant subir une légère déformation de contact et de poussée 9 digitale. These moving parts 3 are protected and isolated by a film 4 and covered by a sheet of slightly flexible and elastic flat synthetic resin 5 which can undergo a slight deformation of contact and digital thrust 9.
Cette plaque 5 est indexée et porte des inscriptions déterminant la fonction de chaque contact 2. Elle est en outre pourvue d'un signal 7 placé sur un capteur 8. This plate 5 is indexed and carries inscriptions determining the function of each contact 2. It is furthermore provided with a signal 7 placed on a sensor 8.
Le clavier 6, (figure 2,3) est formé par un encadre
ment à parois 10, 11, 12 pourvu de rainures 13 positionnant la
plaque 5.The keyboard 6, (figure 2,3) is formed by a frame
with walls 10, 11, 12 provided with grooves 13 positioning the
plate 5.
La face 14 îest ouverte facilitant la mise en place et l'enlèvement de la plaque porte index 5. The face 14 is open, making it easier to set up and remove the index plate 5.
Les surfaces 4 et 5 peuvent être transparentes afin de permettre la visualisation des voyants éclairés par moyens lumineux disposés entre les touches 2. The surfaces 4 and 5 can be transparent in order to allow the visualization of the indicators lit by light means arranged between the keys 2.
Chaque surfaces 4,- 5 sont indexables et repérables. Each surface 4, - 5 are indexable and identifiable.
La plaque 5 porte des séries d'indications et signes correspondant à chaque touche 2. Plate 5 carries series of indications and signs corresponding to each key 2.
Chaque feuille a une signalisation adaptée à l'appareillage à commander. En un point d'extrémité ou latéral se trouve un index 7 solidaire de la plaque mobile 5 qui se positionne lors de la mise en place sur le capteur 8. Each sheet has a signage adapted to the equipment to be ordered. At an end or lateral point is an index 7 secured to the movable plate 5 which is positioned during the positioning on the sensor 8.
Ces deux éléments 7 et 8 sont constitués avec des cellules photoélectriques 8 actionnées par des zones réflèchis santes 7 ou par contacts actionnées par les encoches en relief, pistes conductrices, éléments magnétiques ou autres. These two elements 7 and 8 are formed with photoelectric cells 8 actuated by reflective health zones 7 or by contacts actuated by raised notches, conductive tracks, magnetic elements or the like.
Ce dispositif 7, 8 permet de transformer un code 7 disposé sur la plaque 5 en informations électriques reconnues par la machine informatique. This device 7, 8 makes it possible to transform a code 7 placed on the plate 5 into electrical information recognized by the computer machine.
La plaque 5 souple et élastique peut être remplacée par une plaque rigide interdisant l'utilisation du clavier. The flexible and elastic plate 5 can be replaced by a rigid plate prohibiting the use of the keyboard.
Par contre l'absence de plaque 5 détectée par le capteur 8 permet de rendre inopérantes toutes impulsions sur les éléments 3. On the other hand, the absence of a plate 5 detected by the sensor 8 makes it possible to make any pulses on the elements 3 inoperative.
Cette plaque amovible et interchangeable adaptable à tout appareil commandée par clavier porte d'abord les index permettant l'exploitation des touches, ensuite un codage permettant de sélectionner les index adaptables à l'appareillage à exploiter ou encore à condamner le clavier. This removable and interchangeable plate adaptable to any device controlled by a keyboard first carries the indexes allowing the operation of the keys, then a coding making it possible to select the indexes adaptable to the apparatus to be operated or else to condemn the keyboard.
C'est pourquoi les formes, dimensions et indications pourront varier dans la limite des équivalents, comme d ' ailleurs les matières utilisées pour leur fabrication sans changer pour cela, la conception générale de l'invention qui vient d 'être décrite. This is why the shapes, dimensions and indications may vary within the limit of equivalents, like the materials used for their manufacture without changing the general conception of the invention which has just been described.
