Abstract

Remote-control device (100) whose structure (101, 102) is made of shock-resistant elastic material, in which there are thicknesses, ribs (105-113), internal and external ridges, inserts and specific means for absorbing stresses caused by shocks and falls avoiding breakage of said structure (101, 102) and any damage to the fragile components.

Description

SHOCK-PROOF REMOTE-CONTROL APPARATUS FOR T.V. SETS, HI-FI AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT GENERALLY
This refers to remote control devices for electronic equipment . These devices consist of a rigid box-shaped sheath of plastic material containing a rigid board of plastic laminate for the printed circuit.
On the upper face is a set of holes for the passage of keys which may be formed of expansions on a sheet of plastic laminate laid between the rigid board and the front face .
Batteries for electric feed are housed in a space pre¬ pared for them in the lower part of the device or else¬ where over which a cover is placed held in position by elastic means .
An aperture is made in the front end to allow passage of radiations emitted by a bulb connected to the prin¬ ted circuit. Clearly, these remote control devices are delicate and fragile and both the internal parts, especially the printed circuit, and the box can easily be broken by shocks such as being dropped on the floor. Such shocks may be frequent since the device is handled many times during the day also by children and elderly people . To avoid or lessen these risks use is made of cases of soft shock-absorbing materials.
In the body of such cases openings are made to allow controls to be pressed, infra-red or other radiations to be emitted for operation at a distance, and access to the batteries.
The device is put into the case by pushing at the open¬ ing for the radiations or at other openings whose edges give way easily. Once inside, the device is held firmly by the case. The high degree of elasticity needed for pushing the device into the case conditions the nature of the ma¬ terial used which may have to be excessively elastic for adequate protection of the device and cause it to bounce too much if dropped, as well as placing limits on the shape of the case itself.
As the walls of the case must adhere closely to the remote control device, pushing it inside may be diffi¬ cult and laborious on account of friction set up between the sides of the case and of the device. Such cases are also bulky, unpleasing in appearance and may hinder use of the controls by the fingers. In addi¬ tion its cost is always considerable and must be added to that of the device itself. The above invention eliminates these drawbacks a-s will be explained below.
Subject of the invention is a hollow structure for remote-control devices for TV sets, video recorders, HI-FI apparatus, videogames, portable telephones, com¬ puters, alarm clocks, measuring instruments, electro¬ nic equipment generally having printed circuits on boards of laminate and the like.
Said structure is made of plastic material, of rubber and similar materials specifically suited to withstand sharp stresses caused by falls or other shocks. According to the material used, the thicknesses of the structure are established to achieve the planned value of resistance to sudden stresses.
Advantageously the structure consists of two main bo¬ dies one fitting on the other, substantially flat, and associable at the edges, internally designed to support on either side the electronic circuit board and to rest on the parts free of circuits and electronic components so that said board is held in place and protected against shocks . For greater strength the structures are ribbed external- ly.
Preferably the structure is substantially rectangular and has a. ring of longitudinal and transversal ribs which cross one another. On the edges are projecting ridges on both the upper and lower plane surfaces and on the sides.
In a preferred type the perforated area through which the controls emerge is made of a rigid sheet associated to the structure by a joint in a corresponding aperture in its upper part or, during the stamping process, di- rectly as an insert in the die.
In a preferred type the structure is of ABS or of some other shock resisting plastic material. The invention evidently offers many advantages.
The shock-resisting and elastic material, the external ribbing, the internal ridges inside in the spaces free from the circuit board on both faces, the ridges pro- jecting from both the upper and lower faces of the struc¬ ture and on the sides ensure maximum protection against sudden shocks caused by falls and blows both on the out¬ er structures and on the delicate inner parts such as electronic circuits, contacts and controls. The rigid perforated sheet for the keys assures even greater protection especially for the electronic circuit and for the control keys.
The invention eliminates the cost of those outer casings commonly used for protecting the known remote- cont-rol devices .
Though so strong, the invented remote control device is well protected, of minimum bulk, easy to handle and can be given the most pleasing aesthetic forms. All this to the great comfort of the user because of its practical advantages, appearance and cost.
Characteristics and purposes of-the invention will be made still clearer by the following examples of its execution illustrated by diagrammatically drawn figures. Fig. 1 Perspective view of the device, from the front. Fig. 2 The same as Fig. 1 seen from the back.

The parallelepiped flat remote control device JC.is formed of two main bodies, 20 and 50 respectively the upper and lower parts substantially rectangular and matching one with another on the raised edges.
The body 20 consists of a single part while the body 50 consists of two pieces, 51 and 52. The central area 24 of the body 20 has holes 30 made through it for receiving the press keys 31; it further comprises the areas at the front 25 and back 26, the sides 32 and 33, the front edge 34 and back edge 35.
On the front edge 34 the emitter 27 of radiations for remote control can be seen.
On the inside there is the transversal rib 28 between the central and rear areas and the longitudinal paral¬ lel fins 36, 37 inside the end area at the front. In the end area at the back 26 grooves 38,39 are cut laterally' for electric contacts. The central area^54 of_ piece 51 is divided from the front end area 55 and the back end area 56 by the two trans¬ versal ribs 58,59 connected by the two longitudinal symmetrical ribs 60J, 61. Said piece has the longitudinal sides 63, 64 and the front edge 65.
Placed centrally in the end areas are the pairs of studs 70-71 and 72-73 respectively.
Piece 52 associated axially to piece 51 has substan¬ tially the same dimensions as the body 20. On said body 20, along its sides and along its front edge, are hooks 41 to the fins 40 projecting opposite the slots 75 made in the sides and in the front edge of the piece 51 virtually in the centre of the respec¬ tive central areas at the end's. The electronic circuit 81 is printed onto the board 80 with the metal contacts 83 and 84 to be fed with electric current from the batteries 90.
The keyboard consists of the sheet 95 with keys 96 made from a single piece of rubber. Mounting is easily done by placing the circuit board 80 inside the body 50 with the circuit facing the op¬ posite way and over that the rubber sheet 95 with its keys 96. The body 50 is then matched up with the body 20 insert- the keys 96 through the holes 30 in this latter.
The hooks 41 on the body 20, then lying opposite the slots 75 in the body 51, penetrate into said slots as shown in Fig. 1 by traced lines thus holding the two bodies 20 and 51 firmly together.
At this stage the batteries 90 can be placed in their seat 45 situated in the back end 26 of the body 20 as shown in Fig. 2.
The piece 52 can be inserted by sliding the longitu¬ dinal ribs in the fins 43 present on the edge of the sides 63, 64 of said seat 45, inside the longitudinal grooves 46 present on the sides 67, 68 of the cover 52. On completing the sliding movement the tooth 49 on frontal projection or tongue 47 of said cover, enters the notch 48 made in the edge 66 of the end 56 of the piece 51 and fixes it in the closed position (Fig. l). To remove the cover 52 it is sufficient to press with a finger on the tonque 47, as seen in Fig. 11, and so release the tooth 49 from the notch 48.
As will be seen from the Figures the fins 36 and 37 on the inside of the body 20 touch against the areas 82 on the board 80, free of components, carrying the elec¬ tronic circuit while the transversal rib 28 lies at the end of said board 80 at its free edge.
The studs 70-73 on the body 51 touch against the back of the board 80 at its two ends while the longitudinal ribs 60,61 and those lying transversally 58, 59 form a satisfactory central support.
The bodies 20 and 50 are made of natural or synthetic rubber, or else of plastic such as ABS or any other pos¬ sessing sufficient toughness to withstand shocks. The thicknesses given to the various parts of the body components, as well as the internal ribs and studs, on. • those parts of the electronic circuit . board , free of circuits, ensure maximum protection against . shocks assuring resistance on the part of said bodies as well as by the delicate components such as the electronic circuit board, the various controls and all fragile parts gen- erally.
Figs.12-14 show a variation 100 of the remote control device whereby outside the two bodies, the upper one 101 with its central perforated part 109 and the lower one 102 composed of pieces 103 and 104, there are ribs 105, 106, 107, 108 and 109 placed longitudinally and symme¬ trically and other ribs 110-113 placed transversally that cross over the longitudinal ones.
The ribs 105', 106 on the upper body connect with the transversal ribs 110 forming corners 115. On the edges of said bodies are the projections 120, 121 in the form of triangular prisms which create expansions both on the sides of the remote control device and on its upper and lower plane surfaces. The above give increased protection against shocks since where blows are most likely to be received the thickness of the material is practically double providing effective shock-absorbing means.
Figs. 15-17 illustrate a second variation of the remote control device in which the upper body 130, comprising the keyboard with controls, is made in two parts, part 131 corresponding to the body 101 of the device 100 without the central perforated part 109, and the rigid sheet 132 with its holes 133 corresponding to said cen¬ tral perforated part 109. Said sheet is made of rigid material which may even be metal.
Mounting is done by fitting the aperture 136 in the body 131 into the groove 135. Or else said sheet can be associated to the body 131 directly' when stamping is done by- inserting it into the die.
By this method resistance to shocks is made stronger and, most of all, added rigidity is given to the cen- tral and most delicate part due.to the presence of the keyboard of controls and of the electronic circuit board
