Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a sheet cartridge for a multi-item input type keyboard device that allows more item data to be entered with a smaller number of keys.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional keyboard device of this type will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

Figure 3 is a configuration diagram of this type of keyboard device, and Figure 4 is a top view of the keyboard device. In Figures 3 and 4, 1 is the entire keyboard device, and 2 is a large number of input items. a cartridge insertion slot for inserting a sheet cartridge containing a plurality of page sheets made of opaque material; 3;
is a page specification key that scans a sheet cartridge in which 16 page sheets are set and selects a page sheet of a predetermined page; 4 is a fixed function key having two key arrangements 4-2 and 4-2; Reference numeral 5 indicates a shift key section provided at the upper part of the keyboard 1 for obtaining item data by pressing the button down, and 6 indicates a cartridge roller section for winding up and returning the sheet cartridge incorporated inside the keyboard device 1. It is. FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram of a cartridge. In the figure, 16 page sheets 8-1 to 8-16 are set in order, and each page sheet 8-1 to 8-16 has a length of 10×
This is a sheet cartridge in which predetermined input items are written in the 16th horizontal square.

FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of the page sheet 8. As shown in the figure, the page sheet 8 is divided into squares so that input items can be written therein.

Here, page sheets 8-1 to 8-16
On the first page sheet 8-1, fixed input items are printed in advance using indestructible ink, etc., and on the second and subsequent page sheets 8-2 to 8-1.
6, each grid frame is left blank so that the user can write in any input items by hand.

Next, the operation will be explained.

First, the sheet cartridge 7 consisting of 16 page sheets is inserted into the cartridge insertion slot 2, and the page designation key 3 is scanned to place the page sheet of a predetermined page on the shift key section 5. This arrangement is performed by a page switching mechanism unit built into the keyboard device 1, which is composed of a unitized stepping motor, a drive shaft, a winding drum, a sensor unit, and the like.

For the page sheet arranged in this way, when you press a predetermined input item among the plurality of input items written on the page sheet, the key in the shift key section 5 below this input item is pressed. Therefore, item data corresponding to the pressed input item can be obtained by pressing the key of the shift key section 5.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Conventional sheet cartridges for keyboard devices are configured as described above, so that, for example, when most of the input items written on the page sheet are the same, but some input items are different, it is possible to However, the seat cartridge was not available and had to be replaced.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to enable a sheet cartridge to be shared between keyboard devices in which some of the input items are different.

[Means for solving problems]

The sheet cutter for a keyboard device according to this invention is characterized in that the page sheet has a watermark portion that allows input items written on the shift keys to be seen through the page sheet.

[Effect]

The watermark part provided on the page sheet allows you to see the input items (input items different from input items of other keyboard devices) written on the shift key at the bottom of the page sheet from above the page sheet through the page sheet. It can be so. Therefore,
If some of the input items are different, writing the different input items on the shift key allows the sheet cartridge to be shared between different types of keyboard devices.

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a page sheet of a sheet cartridge for a keyboard device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the input items written on the shift keys are inputted to the page sheet 8 through the page sheet. A watermark portion 81 is provided that can be viewed.

The watermark part 81 is transparent as shown by the hatched part, so that the shift key part 5 located below can be seen through it.

In this case, predetermined input items are written in advance on the key top of each shift key constituting the shift key section 5 by printing with indestructible ink.

Figure 2 shows two different keyboard devices in which the input items of ``conversion,''``fixation,''``input,'' ``no conversion,''``setting,'' and ``send'' are written on the shift keys of the shift keys, respectively, and the page sheet of the invention described above. 8 is shown.

As shown in the figure, when some of the input items are different but the key input items are common, "ABCDE Eyewear %#" is printed in advance, and for input items that differ depending on the keyboard device, the shift key is printed via the watermark part 81. By making the input items written on the key top of the shift key visible, it becomes possible to share the same seeker cartridge between two keyboard devices.

In the above embodiment, the page sheet 8 is provided with a transparent portion, but this may be a notch portion formed by a blanking process as long as there is no problem with the sheet jamming.

Further, in the above embodiments, the case of a sheet roll type keyboard device has been described, but the keyboard device does not need to be a roll type, and even if it is an open cover type, the same effect can be achieved.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to this invention, the page sheet is provided with a watermark that allows the input items written on the shift key to be seen through the page sheet, so that some of the input items can be displayed on different keyboard devices. This makes it possible to share seat cartridges between users.
