Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a non-slip piece for an operation key on a keyboard used for OA equipment such as a word processor and a personal computer, and a mobile phone.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a keyboard is used for inputting to OA equipment such as a word processor, a personal computer, a calculator, and a mobile phone. The keyboard has a plurality of operation keys arranged vertically and horizontally according to a predetermined arrangement.The required keys are selected with the fingertips to input text, telephone numbers, characters, and other signals to the device. It is common for a finger to memorize the key arrangement, and to promptly perform input operations by touching the correct key reflexively. For this reason, instead of touching each key while checking it with the eyes, the keys are touched in a continuous motion from one to the next, but the conventional operation keys are made of synthetic resin and have a smooth surface. Easy to slip. Furthermore, there is a trend to reduce the size of individual keys as much as possible due to demands for downsizing and weight reduction of devices, and to shorten the interval between keys.If your fingers are sweaty or your nails are extended, you may accidentally touch the next key. The probability of losing is increasing. In addition, there is also a problem that the operation using the wrong touch requires more nerves than before, so that fatigue such as damage to fingers and stiff shoulders accumulates. Further, there is another problem that the operation keys are easily stained because they are the parts that are most frequently touched by a finger.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has been made to solve the problem with the operation keys, and to provide a non-slip piece for the operation keys, which makes it difficult for the fingers to slip even if the fingers are slightly sweaty, and can cope with dirt. Aim.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is a non-slip piece for operation keys that is attached to the surface of the operation keys of a keyboard.The thin rubber sheet having a substantially quadrilateral shape has a rough surface and an adhesive is applied to the back surface. A non-slip piece for operation keys, characterized in that the thin rubber sheet is transparent or translucent, or the thin rubber sheet is opaque and characters or the like are printed on the surface. Peace.

Alternatively, the present invention is characterized in that the surface of a thin rubber sheet is roughened in the center of the front surface of the operation key of the keyboard, and a non-slip piece for the operation key is applied to the back surface with an adhesive applied. Operation key.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 According to the present invention, the operation key is prevented from slipping by attaching a non-slip piece to the surface of the key. That is, a non-slip piece to be attached to the center of the surface of the operation key, a non-slip piece to be attached to the center of the surface of the operation key, or an operation key to which the non-slip piece is attached to the center of the surface. This is an embodiment of the present invention.

[0007] Since the anti-slip piece needs to have a smooth surface, be soft, and be translucent, rubber is preferable as the material. If the keyboard is to be pasted on a ready-made keyboard, it is desirable to apply an adhesive to the back surface of the anti-slip piece, attach it to a releasable backing paper, and peel it off one by one.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Example 1 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a non-slip piece sheet 2a in which a number of non-slip pieces are arranged vertically and horizontally to form a sheet, 2 is a non-slip piece for each sheet, 3 is a backing paper, and 4 is a pincer. It is.

The non-slip piece 2 is, for example, a quadrilateral having a thickness of 0.3 to 1.2 mm, a size of 3 mm square, 2 mm square 1 cm square, 1 cm × 2 cm, and may have a shape with four corners dropped as necessary. The material is rubber, such as natural rubber or synthetic rubber, which may be colored, but is transparent or translucent so that the characters and symbols written on the operation keys below can be read, and the surface should not slip. It is desirable that the surface is appropriately rough. An adhesive is applied to the back surface. For example, if the adhesive is peeled off from the backing sheet 3 using a dedicated tweezers 4 having a length of 7 cm, it can be directly attached to the operation keys.

The non-slip piece sheet 2a is suitable for an unspecified and many keyboards. [Example 2] Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a non-slip piece tape 2b in which a number of non-slip pieces are arranged in a row in a row and wound into a roll, and 2 is a non-slip piece for each piece. Reference numeral 3 denotes a mount.

The dimensions, materials, and the like are the same as in the first embodiment. The tape is easy to fold, so it can be easily peeled off the backing paper without using tweezers. [Example 3] Fig. 3 is a plan view showing a non-slip piece sheet 2c in which a set of non-slip pieces required for a keyboard of a specific model such as a personal computer is set. Well, the shape is set for one keyboard. In the case of this embodiment, the non-slip piece 2 does not necessarily have to be transparent or translucent, but it is also possible to use opaque rubber and print the necessary characters or symbols on the surface.

Embodiment 4 FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view of a keyboard showing a state in which the non-slip piece 2 described in Embodiment 1 or 2 is attached to the center of the surface of a key of a mobile phone, and 1 is a push button. And other operation keys. As shown in FIG. 4, the non-slip piece 2 to be stuck does not necessarily have to match the shape of the upper surface of the operation key 1, and it is sufficient for the anti-slip function to be stuck to the touched central portion.

The work of attaching the non-slip piece 2 may be performed by the owner of the mobile phone by purchasing the anti-slip piece 2 described in the first or second embodiment, or may be performed at the manufacturing stage of the mobile phone. Alternatively, it may be attached at the sales stage. Further, a third party other than the manufacturer and the purchaser may perform the pasting as a service. If the surface of the non-slip piece 2 becomes dirty due to long-term use, it can be peeled off and re-attached with a new one, so that the work is easier than cleaning as before.

Fifth Embodiment FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view of a keyboard showing a state in which the anti-slip piece 2 described in the first to third embodiments is attached to the surface of the operation key 1 of the personal computer. The work of attaching the non-slip piece 2 may be performed by the owner of the personal computer by purchasing the non-slip piece 2 described in the first to third embodiments, or may be performed at the personal computer manufacturing or sales stage. Is also good. In addition, a third party other than the manufacturer and the purchaser may paste it as a service.

It is the same as in the fourth embodiment that it can be re-applied to dirt.
