(«I t(«I t
Vorrichtung zum Ersatz des Tastenzeichens (5) der Tastatur (4) bei Computern und/ oder über Tasten bedienbaren Geräten.Device for replacing the key character (5) of the keyboard (4) in computers and/or devices operated via keys.
Bekanntlich werden mit Hilfe der Tastaturen (4) die alphanumerische und Sonderzeichen (5) durch die Betätigung der Taste in ein Signal umgewandelt, daß zum Computer gesendet wird. Die Zeichen (5) sind aber für eine bestimmte Sprache auf den Tasten der Tastatur beschriftet. Man verwendet normalerweise zu einer bestimmten Sprache ein dazugehöriges Tastaturgehäuse (4).As is well known, with the help of the keyboard (4), the alphanumeric and special characters (5) are converted into a signal that is sent to the computer by pressing the key. However, the characters (5) are labeled on the keyboard keys for a specific language. A corresponding keyboard housing (4) is normally used for a specific language.
Es kommt aber vor, daß man eine beschriftete Taste für ein anderes Zeichen (6) verwenden will. Zum Beispiel, wenn man einen Text in mehreren Sprachen schreiben will, oder das Betriebssystem eines Computers in anderer Sprache bedienen möchte. Zu diesem Zweck müßte man entweder die Stellen der Tastenzeichen für jede Sprache auswendig lernen bzw. jedes einzelne Zeichen manuell ersetzen, oder für jede Sprache eine dazugehörige TastaturHowever, it can happen that you want to use a labeled key for a different character (6). For example, if you want to write a text in several languages, or if you want to use the operating system of a computer in a different language. To do this, you would either have to learn the positions of the key characters for each language by heart or replace each individual character manually, or have a dedicated keyboard for each language.
(4) benutzen. Das ist Zeitaufwendig und teuer. Außerdem ist der Platzbedarf für mehrere Tastaturen groß.(4). This is time-consuming and expensive. In addition, the space required for multiple keyboards is large.
Der im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zu Grunde, eine Abdeckauflage (1) zu schaffen, die die Benutzung von anderen Zeichen (6), als der auf einer Taste (5) vorhandenen, ermöglicht.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating a cover (1) that enables the use of symbols (6) other than those present on a key (5).
Außerdem kann diese Einrichtung auch gleichzeitig als Tastaturabdeckfolie (1) gegen Staub, Nässe und Verschmutzung benutzt werden.In addition, this device can also be used as a keyboard cover (1) to protect against dust, moisture and dirt.
Die Gestaltung der Einrichtung wird an einzelne Tastenformen angepaßt. An die Tastenseiten (2) wird weiches, plastisches Material angepasst, um eine einwandfreie Bewegung der Tasten zu ermöglichen. Die übrigen Teile und auch der untere Rand (3) der Tasten kann aus härterem Material bestehen. Dadurch wird die Einrichtung auf den Tastaturgehäuse stabil und fest gehalten.The design of the device is adapted to individual key shapes. Soft, plastic material is adapted to the key sides (2) to enable the keys to move smoothly. The other parts and also the lower edge (3) of the keys can be made of harder material. This keeps the device stable and firmly attached to the keyboard housing.
Die Einrichtung kann vorher oder nachträglich mit Tastenzeichen eines bestimmten Landes und/ oder einer bestimmten Sprache beschriftet werden.The device can be labelled beforehand or subsequently with key characters from a specific country and/or a specific language.
Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß die Gesamtheit der Tastenzeichen sehr leicht undThe invention ensures that the entirety of the key characters is very easy and
kostengünstig ersetzt werden und auch die Tasten bzw. die Tastaturgehäuse von Staub, Nässe und Verschmutzung verschont bleiben.can be replaced inexpensively and the keys or keyboard housing are protected from dust, moisture and dirt.
Ein Beispiel ist durch die Zeichnung veranschaulicht.An example is illustrated in the drawing.
