Patent

CA 2536392

A keyboard has a single row of eight multi-position keys with the letters arranged in a standard QWERTY keyboard configuration. The eight keys correspond to the eight fingers used when touch typing; each finger operates one key, and that key contains all the letters that the finger normally accesses when touch typing on a standard QWERTY keyboard. With this design, no finger has to move to a different key while typing. When depressed at different locations on its key face, each key either moves straight down, or down while tilting slightly about one of a plurality of axes. Three-position keys have two tilt axes and six-position keys have five tilt axes. The switches utilize contacts located on the bottom of the switches which may be conductive or nonconductive.

L'invention concerne un clavier qui présente une seule rangée de huit touches multiposition, les lettres étant disposées selon une configuration de clavier standard QWERTY. Les huit touches correspondent aux huit doigts utilisés en dactylographie; chaque doigt gère une touche, celle-ci renfermant toutes les lettres auxquelles le doigt en question accède sur un clavier QWERTY standard. Dans cette conception, aucun doigt n'a besoin de se déplacer vers une autre touche pendant la dactylographie. Enfoncée en différents endroits sur sa face, chaque touche s'enfonce tout droit ou s'incline légèrement autour d'un de ses nombreux axes. Des touches à trois positions ont deux axes d'inclinaison et les touches à six positions en ont cinq. Les commutateurs utilisent les contacts situés à leur base qui peuvent être conducteurs ou non conducteurs.
