Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device making it possible to improve the progressiveness of the analog joysticks of gamepad type controllers, used on game consoles or computers, thus allowing a better man / machine interface.
- Analog joysticks work in the following way, the joystick is programmed to have a precise action on the screen, it is tiltable in all directions, each action can correspond to an action.
- the action on the screen is proportional to the degree of tilt of the joystick.
- the maximum action corresponds to the joystick stop.
- the analog joystick is fitted with a return spring which returns it to the neutral position as soon as it is released, thus interrupting the action in progress on the screen.
- the resistance value of this spring does not vary regardless of the degree of inclination of the joystick. Therefore it is difficult for the user to measure the action because the joystick does not offer an increasing and progressive resistance as does for example a pedal or a brake lever.
- the device according to the invention overcomes these problems. It is in the form of a washer of synthetic or natural compressible and elastic material having a central hole which allows to install / uninstall it on the external part of the joystick by elasticity. After installation the device is wedged between the frame and the protruding part of the joystick, it is crossed in its center by the joystick lever. Therefore it has a role of spring on 360 °. From now on, the user must gradually increase the force he exerts on the joystick to tilt it up to a maximum force which corresponds to the stop of the joystick and the maximum action on the screen.
- the advantage of the device is that it is easily adaptable and removable on the majority of existing joysticks.
- FIG. 1 shows the device of the invention in top view
- FIG. 2 shows the device of the invention in front view, with comparative dimensions in Figure 4;
- FIG. 3 shows in section a variant of the device after installation
- FIG. 4 shows in section the device after installation, with comparative dimensions in Figure 2.
- the body (1) of the device is made of compressible and elastic material, it has a central orifice (2) which allows the passage of the prominent part (4) of the joystick (4 + 5) by elasticity during installation.
- the device After installation the device is wedged between the protruding part (4) and the frame (6) of the joystick, it is crossed in its center (2) by the lever (5) of the joystick (4 + 5). The device is then secured to the joystick (4 + 5) but not to the frame (6). When the user inclines the joystick (4 + 5) it exerts a force antagonistic to that of the body of the device (1), therefore the device has a role of spring over 360 °.
- the diameter (y) of the central orifice (2) is less than the diameter (y ') of the lever (5) in order to avoid any play between the two parts.
- the base of the device is circular with a maximum diameter (x) equal to the diameter (x ') of the frame (6) of the joystick in order to avoid any contact between the body (1) of the device and other keys of the joystick .
- the base of the device can be polygonal.
- the diameter (x) of the base of the device has a minimum value equal to 1.7 times the diameter (y ') of the lever (5) of the joystick, in order to avoid any tearing of the body (1) of the device during installation.
- the thickness (e) of the device will be chosen according to the compressibility of the material constituting the body (1) of the device, with a maximum value equal to 2 times the distance (e ') between the prominent part (4) and the frame (6) of the joystick, in order to allow an easy installation and a good flexibility of operation.
- a bevel (3) of an angle ( ⁇ ) is made on the thickness (e) of the device when the diameter (x) of the device is greater than the diameter (z ') of the protruding part (4) of the joystick, better ergonomics and to limit the wear of the material at the upper perimeter.
- the central opening can have a diameter smaller than that of the joystick lever
- the device can be circular or polygonal with a maximum diameter equal to the diameter of the joystick frame
- the device can be circular or polygonal with a minimum diameter equal to 1.7 times the diameter of the joystick lever;
- the thickness of the device can be chosen as a function of the compressibility of the material which constitutes it, with a maximum value equal to 2 times the height of the joystick lever;
- a bevel can be made on the thickness of the device; -
- the device can be produced by cutting or molding.
- the device will be cut by water jet or by punch in 7.8 mm thick neoprene with a smooth upper face and a lycra lower face;
- the device will have the following dimensions: diameter (x) of the body (1): 26 mm diameter (y) of the central orifice (2): 8 mm thickness (e): 7.8 mm angle (oc): 20 °
- the device according to the invention is particularly intended to improve the progressiveness of the analog joysticks of the gamepad type controllers of a game console or of a computer.
