이 발명은 키보드의 자판 조명장치에 관한 것으로 특히, 컴퓨터나 타자기등에 설치되는 키보드의 자판 상면에 투명판재를 설치하되, 각각의 자판 저부에는 저전력의 램프를 설치하거나 투명판재의 저부에 형광물질등을 도포하여 어두운곳(야간 및 조명이 없는 밀폐된 공간)에서도 키보드에 인쇄된 문자나 숫자를 정확히 확인하면서 자판을 손쉽게 조작할 수 있도록 한 키보드의 자판 조명장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a keyboard lighting apparatus of a keyboard, and in particular, a transparent plate is installed on the upper surface of a keyboard installed in a computer or a typewriter. The present invention relates to a keyboard lighting device that can be applied to the keyboard easily while accurately checking the letters or numbers printed on the keyboard even in a dark place (closed space without night and lighting).

종래의 키보드에 설치되는 자판은 제3도에 나타낸 바와 같이, 사다리꼴의 형상을 갖도록 사출 성형한 불투명체의 자판 본체(31) 상면에 필요한 문자나 숫자(32)를 인쇄한 구성으로 되어 있었다. 즉, 종래의 자판은 불투명한 프라스틱재로 사출 성형하여 그의 상면에 문자나 숫자를 인쇄시키는 구성으로 되어있음에 따라 어두운 곳에서는 각각의 자판에 인쇄되어 있는 문자나 숫자를 확인할 수 없으므로 자판의 인쇄문자나 숫자를 모두 외울 정도로 숙련되지 않은 사람은 작업을 전혀 실시할 수 없어 별도의 조명장치를 필요로하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 오 자판의 포지션을 찾기에도 어려워 작업속도가 저하되는 문제점도 있었다.As shown in FIG. 3, the keyboard provided in the conventional keyboard has a configuration in which letters or numbers 32 are printed on the upper surface of the keyboard main body 31 of an opaque body that is injection molded to have a trapezoidal shape. In other words, the conventional keyboard is formed by printing an opaque plastic material to print letters or numbers on the upper surface thereof. Therefore, in the dark, the letters or numbers printed on each keyboard cannot be checked. A person who was not skilled enough to memorize all the numbers could not work at all and needed a separate lighting device. In addition, it was difficult to find the position of the wrong keyboard, there was also a problem that the work speed is reduced.

이 발명의 목적은, 키보드에 설치된 각각의 자판 상면을 투명하게 형성하고 그 저부에는 저전력의 램프를 각각 설치하거나 투명판재의 저부에 형광물질등을 도포하여 어두운 곳에서도 별도의 전등이 없이도 작업을 수행할 수 있게 하여 작업능률을 높일 수 있는 키보드의 자판 조명장치를 제공하는데 있다.An object of the present invention is to transparently form the upper surface of each keyboard installed on the keyboard and to install a low-power lamp on the bottom or to apply fluorescent material to the bottom of the transparent plate to perform the work without a separate light in the dark. It is to provide a keyboard lighting device of the keyboard that can increase the work efficiency.

이하, 첨부된 도면에 의거하여 이 발명을 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

이 발명 장치는 제1도 및 제2도에 나타낸 바와 같이, 사다리꼴의 형상을 갖도록 사출 성형한 불투명체의 자판 본체(1)상면에 필요한 문자나 숫자(4)를 인쇄시킨 구성의 키패드에 있어서, 상기 자판 본체(1)의 상면을 개구시켜 그 주연부에는 안착홈(11)을 형성하고, 투명재질의 플라스틱재로 사출 성형한 투명판재(2)는 상기 자판 본체(1)의 안착홈(11)에 장착하되 투명판재(2)의 상면에는 문자나 숫자(4)를 직접 인쇄하며, 상기 자판 본체(1)의 저부 또는 투명판재(2) 저면에 발광체(3)를 각각 설치하여서 된 것을 특징으로 한다.In the keypad of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a letter or number 4 is printed on the upper surface of the main body 1 of an opaque body that is injection-molded to have a trapezoidal shape. The upper surface of the keyboard body 1 is opened to form a seating groove 11 at its periphery, and the transparent plate member 2 which is injection molded from a transparent plastic material is placed in the seating groove 11 of the keyboard body 1. Characterized in that the letters or numerals 4 are directly printed on the upper surface of the transparent plate 2, and the light emitters 3 are respectively provided on the bottom of the keyboard body 1 or the bottom of the transparent plate 2, respectively. .

이때, 상기 발광체(3)는 램프, 발광다이오드 및 형광물질중 그 어느것을 설치하여도 무관하며, 상기 투명판재(2)는 안착홈(11)의 넓이 및 폭에 적어도 대응되게 또는 약간 작은 넓이 및 폭으로 사출성형하여 안착홈(11)에 억지로 끼워지게 하고, 만약 램프를 사용할 경우는 전력소모가 적은것을 설치하여 불필요한 전력소모를 방지하는 것이 좋다.In this case, the light emitter 3 may have any one of a lamp, a light emitting diode, and a fluorescent material, and the transparent plate 2 may have a width that is at least or slightly smaller than the width and width of the seating groove 11. The injection molding by the width is forcibly fitted in the seating groove 11, and if the lamp is used, it is good to install unnecessary power to prevent unnecessary power consumption.

이와같이 구성된 이 발명의 작용효과를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the effect of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

먼저, 컴퓨터 및 타자기등의 키보드상에 설치되는 수개의 자판본체(1)는 종래와 같이 사다리꼴의 형상을 갖도록 사출 성형하되, 문자나 숫자(4)등이 인쇄되는 상기 자판 본체(1)의 상면은 개구시키고 그 주연부에는 안착홈(11)을 형성한다.First, several keyboard bodies 1 installed on a keyboard such as a computer and a typewriter are injection-molded to have a trapezoidal shape as in the prior art, and the upper surface of the keyboard body 1 on which letters or numbers 4 and the like are printed. Is opened and a seating groove 11 is formed at its periphery.

상기 자판 본체(1)의 개구부를 막아주기 위한 수단으로 안착홈(11)의 넓이 및 폭에 적어도 대응되는 형태의 투명판재(2)를 별도로 사출성형하여 그 상면에 분자나 숫자(4)등을 인쇄한 후 상기 안착홈(11)에 억지로 끼워주므로써, 기존의 자판과 동일한 형상을 갖게 된다.As a means for blocking the opening of the keyboard main body 1, the transparent plate member 2, which is at least corresponding to the width and width of the seating groove 11, is separately injection-molded to form molecules or numbers 4 on the upper surface thereof. By forcing it into the seating groove 11 after printing, it has the same shape as the existing keyboard.

이때, 상기 자판 본체(1)의 안착홈(11)에 설치된 투명판재(2)의 저부로부터 조명을 실시키 위해 자판 본체(1)의 저부 또는 투명판재(2)의 저면에 발광체(3)를 각각 설치하여 줌으로써, 투명판재(2)상에 인쇄된 문자나 숫자(4)를 어두운 곳에서도 볼 수 있는 것이다.At this time, in order to illuminate from the bottom of the transparent plate member 2 installed in the seating groove 11 of the keyboard body 1, the light emitting body 3 is placed on the bottom of the keyboard body 1 or the bottom of the transparent plate member 2. By providing each, the letter or number 4 printed on the transparent board 2 can be seen in a dark place.

즉, 상기 자판 본체(1)의 저부에 발광체(3)로서의 저전력 램프 또는 발광다이오드를 설치하거나, 상기 투명판재(2)의 저면에 형광물질을 도포하게 되면 어두운 곳에서도 상기 발광체(3)에서 조사되는 빛에 의해 투명판재(2)에 인쇄된 문자를 볼 수 있어 별도의 전등이 없이도 작업을 수행할 수 있는 것이다.That is, when a low-power lamp or light emitting diode as the light emitting body 3 is provided at the bottom of the keyboard body 1 or when a fluorescent material is applied to the bottom of the transparent plate 2, the light emitting body 3 is irradiated from the light emitting body 3 even in a dark place. The light printed on the transparent plate 2 can be seen by the light can be performed without a separate light.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 이 발명에 의하면, 키보드에 설치되는 각각의 자판 상면을 개구시켜 투명판재를 설치하고, 자판의 저부에 저전력의 램프나 발광다이오드를 설치하거나 투명판재의 저면에 형광물질등을 도포하여 줌으로써, 어두운 곳에서도 별도의 조명장치 없이도 작업을 수행할 수 있음은 물론 작업능률을 높일 수 있어 제품의 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있는 매우 유용한 발명인 것이다.As described above, according to the present invention, the upper surface of each keyboard provided in the keyboard is opened to provide a transparent plate material, and a low power lamp or a light emitting diode is provided at the bottom of the keyboard, or a fluorescent substance is applied to the bottom of the transparent plate material. By doing so, it is possible to perform the work in the dark without a separate lighting device, as well as to increase the work efficiency is a very useful invention that can improve the reliability of the product.
