Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 電気装置 従来の技術 本発明は、請求項1の上位概念に記載の電気装置に関する。 未公開のドイツ連邦共和国特許出願197 06 595によりすでに、表示装置を有す るディスプレイが知られている。これによればさらに少なくとも1つの操作部材 が設けられており、これは表示装置により表示される無線機器の機能を選択およ び/または起動させるために用いられる。その際、この少なくとも1つの操作部 材を表示装置のすぐ近くに配置するのがよく、そうすることで少なくとも1つの 操作部材と表示装置における無線機器機能表示との位置的な対応づけが生じるよ うになる。なお、この少なくとも1つの操作部材を照明可能にしてもよい。 Optrex社のカタログ"LCD Liquid Crystal Dsplay 1995"によれば、表示装置を 光導体の上方に配置させ、発光ダイオードを用いその光導体を介して表示装置を 照明することが知られている。 発明の利点 これに対し、主請求項の特徴部分に記載の構成を備えた本発明による電気装置 は以下の利点を有する。す なわち、表示装置と少なくとも1つの操作部材のための支持台が同時にそれらの 照明のためにも用いられ、つまり複数の機能を同時に果たしている。このように すれば、表示装置および少なくとも1つの操作部材の収納と照明のための付加的 な構成部分が不要となり、その結果、材料や製造の手間やコストが抑えられるよ うになる。 さらに有利には光導体は、少なくとも1つの操作部材が操作されたときに力を 受容するためにも用いられ、その結果、この場合もそのような目的のために付加 的な構成部分や機構を電気装置のケーシングに設ける必要がなく、したがって材 料や手間やコストをさらに節約できるようになる。 従属請求項に記載の構成により、主請求項に記載された電気装置の有利な実施 形態が可能である。 少なくとも1つの操作部材を電気装置におけるケーシング表面の端部領域のす ぐ近くに配置するのが、格別有利である。このようにすれば、少なくとも1つの 操作部材がユーザにとって扱いやすいものとなり、つまり少なくとも1つの操作 部材を電気装置をつかんでいる手の指で操作することもできるようになる。この ような利点は、電気装置を携帯機器たとえば無線機器として構成するのに格別重 要なことである。 さらに有利には、少なくとも1つの操作部材の領域において、ドーム型スイッ チを備えたフレキシブルな 配線板が光導体の上に載置され、ドーム型スイッチは少なくとも1つの操作部材 によって操作可能であり、フレキシブルな配線板はドーム側スイッチの外側に貫 通開口部を有している。配線板のフレキシビリティゆえに、少なくとも1つの操 作部材が操作されたときに発生する力が光導体に伝達され、その結果、光導体は 付加的な機能として力の受容を行えるようになる。そしてそれにもかかわらず、 配線板の貫通開口部を介して少なくとも1つの操作部材を照明することができる 。また、ドーム型スイッチを利用すれば、少なくとも1つの操作部材の操作時に 接点接触を行わせるきわめて簡単な構成が得られる。さらに配線板のフレキシビ リティによって、それを光導体の輪郭に容易に整合させることもできる。 端部領域と光導体が、少なくとも1つの操作部材の領域で斜めに切られている と有利である。このようにすれば、少なくとも1つの操作部材の側面からの取り 扱いが向上し、その結果、本発明による電気装置を携帯可能なものとした場合に はとりわけ、電気装置をつかんでいる手の指による少なくとも1つの操作部材の 操作がいっそう簡単になる。 さらに、ドーム型スイッチを光透過性材料から形成すると有利である。このよ うにすれば、少なくとも1つの操作部材への光の供給がいっそう改善される。 図面 図面には本発明の実施例が示されており、これについて以下で詳しく説明する 。図1には本発明による電気装置の断面図が示されており、図2にはドーム型ス イッチを備えた配線板の平面図が示されている。 実施例の説明 図1によれば、無線機器として構成された電気装置に参照符号1が付されてい る。なお、図1には、無線機器1のうち本発明の説明に必要な断面部分しか描か れていない。無線機器1のケーシングは下面70と上面65に分割されており、 その際、下面70は側壁75を介して上面65と相互に結合されている。この側 壁は上面65の領域で上面65に向かって斜めに切られており、ここで斜めに切 る具合は任意の角度を選定できる。そしてこの斜面部分は、無線機器1における ケーシング表面25の端部領域45を成している。無線機器1の下面70には第 1の配線板55が配置されている。この第1の配線板55において下面70とは 反対側の面に、光導体15が配置されている。また、光導体15において第1の 配線板55とは反対側の面に、凹部として構成された収納部80が設けられてお り、この中に表示装置5が挿入されている。さらに表示装置5において光導体1 5とは反対側の面で無線機器1の上面65に窓60がはめ込まれており、この窓 を通してユーザは表示装置5における表示を捉えることができる。窓60の下方 で表面25とは反対側の面 において光導体15は、第1の配線板55に接触し発光ダイオードとして形成さ れた第1の光源20を収納するための切り欠き90を有している。 端部領域45は、キーとして構成された操作部材10を収納するための貫通開 口部100を有している。キー10は、無線機器1の内部に突出部105として 形成された凸部を有しており、これはキー10が操作されていない状態ではケー シング壁に内側から当接しており、キー10が無線機器1から外れ落ちてしまう のを防いでいる。キー10の領域では光導体15も、端部領域45にほぼ平行に 1つの平面で斜めに切られている。光導体15のこの斜面においてキー10と光 導体15との間に第2の配線板30が配置されており、その底面はキー10の底 面と一致し、第2の配線板において光導体15とは反対側の面に、キー10に向 かって湾曲したドーム型スイッチ35が配置されている。 図1には、操作されていない状態にあるキー10が示されている。キー10が 図1に示されている矢印方向に操作されると、ドーム型スイッチ35が下へ押さ れることにより、当業者に周知のようにして第2の配線板30の接点が接触する 。第2の配線板30と第1の配線板55との間の接続ライン110を介して、上 記の接点接触に従って発生した信号が、処理のため第1の配線板55へ伝送され る。この場合、第1の配線 板55と第2の配線板30が1つの共通の配線板を成すように構成できる。第2 の配線板30はフレキシブルな配線板材料から成り、これはキー10の操作によ り光導体15に向かって矢印方向に生じる力を伝達し、光導体15の形状に整合 させることを目的としている。したがって矢印方向にキー10が操作されると、 光導体15により力が受容される。 キー10が操作された後つまりキー10が離された後では、キーはドーム型ス イッチ35が元どおり湾曲することによって、再び突出部105のところで無線 機器1のケーシング壁に押し付けられる。 図2には、第2の配線板30の平面図が示されている。この第2の配線板30 のほぼ中心に取り付けられているドーム型スイッチ35の周囲に、リング状貫通 開口部40が配置されている。付加的に、ドーム型スイッチ35を透光性材料に よって形成することができる。 第1の発光ダイオード20から放射された光は、光導体15を介して表示装置 5を照明するためにもキー10を照明するためにも用いられ、この目的でキーは 少なくとも部分的にやはり透光性に形成されている。さらにこの場合、キー10 を光透過性のシリコンによって形成することができる。 キー10の照明を改善するため、図1に示されているように光導体15は第1 の配線板55と向き合った 面においてキー10のすぐ下に第2の切り欠き95を有しており、この第2の切 り欠きには、この実施例ではやはり発光ダイオードとして形成された第2の光源 50が収納されている。第2の発光ダイオード50はキー10のすぐ近くに配置 されているので、それによってキー10の照明を所期のように向上させることが できる。第1および/または第2の発光ダイオード20,50の光は、貫通開口 部40および第2の配線板30の透光性ドーム型スイッチ35を介してキー10 へ供給される。 表示装置5は周縁領域45のすぐ近くまで広がっており、したがってキー10 は表示装置5のすぐ近くに配置されることになる。非操作状態と同様、操作状態 においても、キー10は第2の配線板30とドーム型スイッチ35を介して光導 体15の上に載置され、したがって無線機器1の内部に入り込むようなことはな い。 たとえば移動無線やコードレステレフォンにおいて用いられるような無線機器 のほかに、本発明は表示装置を備えた他の任意の電気装置にも係わるものであっ て、たとえばページャ、有線電話機、電卓、測定機器も対象としている。第2の 配線板30と表示装置5を光導体15に取り付ける際、たとえば光透過性の接着 層を用いることができる。 さらにたとえば、無線機器1の上面65において端 部領域45と窓60の間にもキー10を配置させることができ、したがって端部 領域45の近くにも表示装置5ないしは窓60の近くにもキーを配置させること ができる。このように構成する場合であれば、上面65の上方において端部領域 45と窓60の間に、キー10および第2の配線板30ならびにその上に取り付 けられるドーム型スイッチ35のために、十分に広い光導体15の載置面が生じ るよう、表示装置5と窓60の広がりをそれ相応に整合させる必要がある。また 、第1の発光ダイオード20による照明が不十分だというのであれば、キー10 の取り付け個所に対するその照明ができるかぎり良好に行われるようにする目的 で、光導体15の第2の切り欠き95ならびにその中に収納される第2の発光ダ イオード50を、無線機器1の上面65に取り付けられるキー10のすぐ下に配 置させることもできる。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION                                 Electrical equipment   Conventional technology   The invention relates to an electrical device according to the preamble of claim 1.   Already has a display device according to the unpublished Federal Republic patent application 197 06 595 Display is known.
