Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de clavier comprenant : un cadre ; des touches qui pivotent chacune autour d'un pivot de touche par rapport au cadre ; un premier guide qui comprend un premier élément relié au cadre ou aux touches, un élément coulissant fixé au premier élément, ainsi qu'un second élément qui coulisse avec l'élément coulissant lorsque les touches pivotent par rapport au cadre ; un deuxième guide qui comprend un guide de touche relié aux touches ainsi qu'un guide de cadre relié au cadre de façon à coulisser avec le guide de touche et qui est disposé en dessous du premier guide ; et un troisième guide qui régule, au niveau d'une position derrière les premier et second guides, le mouvement des touches dans la direction d'échelle, l'élément coulissant étant plus souple que le premier élément ou le second élément, et les trois positions du pivot de touche, du premier guide et du second guide, ou les trois positions des premier, second et troisième guides étant disposées de façon à ne pas être alignées dans la même ligne droite lorsqu'elles sont vues depuis une direction dans laquelle les touches sont adjacentes l'une à l'autre.
