A rectangular box (1) which may be made from a wide variety of materials such as wood, metal, plastic and resins is fitted over a keyboard (5). The box may be of dimensions suitable for the entry of a hand or a single finger and has access through a front aperture (4). A rear orifice (3.2) provides lighting and operation is viewed through a window (2) in the top surface

Description

Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des serrures electroniques. La présente invention concerne la protection d'un code,d'un numéro au moment oT il est composé sur un clavier et ce pour en assurer la confidentialité. The technical field of the invention is that of electronic locks. The present invention relates to the protection of a code, of a number when it is dialed on a keyboard, in order to ensure confidentiality.

Le problème technique posé est le suivant :la personne composant son code secret ou un numéro sur un clavier doit pouvoir voir les touches. Mais ces dernières doivent ètre cachées des regards malvaillants. Le problème apparait au quotidien,au distributeur de billets de banque, de S.N.C.F. dans les magasins quand on paye avec la carte bancaire,au niveau du digicode des portes,des alarmes..etc..(liste non limitative ).Dans chacun de ces cas il y a un clavier mal protégé des regards indiscrets, en tapant son code,son numéro on risque de les divulguer. The technical problem posed is as follows: the person dialing their secret code or a number on a keyboard must be able to see the keys. But these must be hidden from malevolent glances. The problem appears on a daily basis, at the cash dispenser, of S.N.C.F. in stores when paying with the bank card, at the door code, alarms, etc. (non-exhaustive list). In each of these cases there is a keyboard that is poorly protected from prying eyes, by typing its code, its number is likely to be disclosed.

Concernant l'etat de la technique anterieure et actuelle on peut dire plusieurs choses.Jusqu'à présent le clavier est parfois entouré par des petits ou grands rebords tout le tour qui ne garantissent pas une bonne protection de la confidentialité du code au moment ou il est composé .11 en est de mème au niveau des distributeurs de billets de banque on constate qu'ils sont en retraits encastré dans le mur mais cela ne suffit pas. Regarding the prior and present state of the art we can say several things. Until now the keyboard is sometimes surrounded by small or large edges all around which do not guarantee a good protection of the confidentiality of the code at the moment when it is composed .11 is the same at the level of bank cash dispensers we see that they are recessed recessed in the wall but that is not enough.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de résoudre ce problème. La solution technique est la suivante. Le clavier sur lequel on compose son code secret est caché des regards malvaillants par un boitier. Le boitier est intégré dés la conception fabrication sur le dessus du clavier, ou alors fixé sur le dessus d'un clavier déjà existant par diverses méthodes :thermo-soudure,viscage,collage ..etc..(liste non limitative ).Le boitier peut ètre carré rectangulaire ou d'une autre forme et se présente comme une boite au fonds de laquelle apparaissent les touches du clavier sur lesquels on compose un code ,un numéro.Sur le dessus du boitier il y a une ouverture permettant à la personne qui compose le code de voir les touches du clavier. Une grande ouverture sur le coté en bas dans le boitier permet à la personne d'introduire suivant le modèle la main ou un doigt pour com
-poser son code. Une troisième ouverture sur le coté en haut du boitier permet à la lumiére de rentrer et d'éclairer le clavier.The device according to the invention solves this problem. The technical solution is as follows. The keypad on which you enter your secret code is hidden from malicious eyes by a case. The case is integrated from the manufacturing design on the top of the keyboard, or then fixed on the top of an already existing keyboard by various methods: thermo-welding, viscage, bonding .. etc. (list not exhaustive). can be square rectangular or of another shape and is presented like a box at the bottom of which appear the keys of the keyboard on which one composes a code, a number. On the top of the case there is an opening allowing the person who dial the code to see the keyboard keys. A large opening on the bottom side in the case allows the person to introduce, depending on the model, the hand or a finger to communicate.
-poster his code. A third opening on the side at the top of the case allows the light to enter and illuminate the keyboard.

Le mode d'emploi est simple la personne devant composer son code secret introduit la main ou suivant le modéle un doigt, dans le boitier. Elle regarde les touches par l'ouverture qui se trouve sur le boitier et peut taper son code son numéro en limitant le risque de divulgation. The user manual is simple the person having to compose his secret code introduced by hand or according to the model a finger, in the case. She looks at the keys through the opening on the case and can type in her code and number, limiting the risk of disclosure.

Le dessin annexé illustre l'invention. La figure l représente le dispositif de l'invention c'est une vue de dessus légérement orientée vers la gauche. En référence à ce dessin le dispositif comporte un boitier (l) fixé ou intégré à un clavier composé de différentes touches (numéro, lettres,autres. .). Le boitier (1) a sur la face du dessus un orifice (2) ayant une dimension dont la forme peut ètre variable d'environ (4 cm x 3,5 cm dimensions donnée à titre indicativeS,non limitativeS). La face du fonds du boitier (3,1) est légèrement ouverte par un orifice (3,2). The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention. Figure l shows the device of the invention is a top view slightly oriented to the left. With reference to this drawing, the device comprises a box (l) fixed or integrated into a keyboard made up of different keys (number, letters, etc.). The housing (1) has on the top face an orifice (2) having a dimension the shape of which can be variable by approximately (4 cm × 3.5 cm dimensions given by way of indication, not limitation). The face of the bottom of the case (3.1) is slightly opened by an orifice (3.2).

La face avant du boitier (4), est grandement ouverte de la dimension de ce coté,de la face. La face du dessous du boitier est ouverte de la dimension de la face de ce coté et laisse apparaitre le clavier avec les touches (5).The front face of the case (4) is wide open on the dimension of this side, of the face. The underside of the case is open to the dimension of the face on this side and reveals the keyboard with the keys (5).

Les matériaux composants le boitier peuvent ètre de diverses sortes (bois, plastiques,résines,alliage composite liste non limitative
A titre d'exemple non limitatif le boitier aura des dimensions de l'ordre de :17 cm de longueur;ll cm de largeur; lOcm de hauteur. Ce pour le grand modéle adapté à recevoir la main entiére Les dimensions du modéle sont réduites quand il s'agit de recevoir seulement le doigt.The materials making up the case can be of various kinds (wood, plastics, resins, composite alloy, non-exhaustive list
By way of nonlimiting example, the case will have dimensions of the order of: 17 cm in length; ll cm in width; lcm of height. This for the large model adapted to receive the whole hand The dimensions of the model are reduced when it comes to receiving only the finger.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné a tout type de clavier à touche ou l'on doit composer un code secret, un numéro. Il est donc un produit industriel adapté au secteur bancaire ,de la sécurité,au domaine des moyens de paiement ,serrures electronique

Figure img00020001
The device according to the invention is particularly intended for any type of key keyboard where one has to dial a secret code, a number. It is therefore an industrial product suitable for the banking sector, security, the field of means of payment, electronic locks
