Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mehrfunktionstaste nach dem Oberbe griff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a multi-function key according to the Oberbe handle of claim 1.
Eine Taste nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus DE-OS 29 24 782 bekannt.A key according to the preamble of claim 1 is off DE-OS 29 24 782 known.
Tasten, in die eine Lichtquelle eingebaut ist, welche mittels einer Einrichtung Licht in einem geometrisch begrenzten Bereich nach außen abstrahlt, sind seit langer Zeit üblich. Bei einge schalteter Taste gibt die Lichtquelle beispielsweise Licht ab, während sie im ausgeschalteten Zustand der Taste nicht leuchtet, so daß einem Bediener klar angezeigt werden kann, ob die Taste im eingeschalteten oder ausgeschalteten Zustand ist.Keys, in which a light source is built, which by means of a device light in a geometrically limited area emitted to the outside have been common for a long time. When turned on When the button is switched on, the light source emits light, for example, while it is not lit when the button is switched off, so that an operator can be clearly shown whether the button is on or off.
In zahlreichen Anwendungsfällen haben Tasten aber mehr als zwei Schaltzustände, die durch jeweils ein Leuchtsymbol angezeigt werden sollten. Dabei ist es wünschenswert, daß die optische Anzeige der verschiedenen Schaltzustände durch entsprechende Leuchtsymbole geometrisch am selben Ort erfolgt, um so Platz einzusparen. Auch ist es für einen Bediener einfacher, seine Aufmerksamkeit nur auf eine Stelle zu lenken als die Umschal tung von Mehrfunktionstastern an verschiedenen Orten zu über wachen.In numerous applications, however, buttons have more than two Switching states, each indicated by a light symbol should be. It is desirable that the optical Display of the various switching states by means of the corresponding Illuminated symbols take place geometrically in the same place, so space save. It is also easier for an operator to use his To draw attention only to one place than the shawl multi-function buttons at different locations watch.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine einfach aufgebaute Mehrfachfunktionstaste anzugeben, die mit verschieenen Leucht symbolen an der gleichen Stelle ausgerüstet ist. It is therefore an object of the invention to have a simple structure Multi-function key to indicate the with different lights symbols in the same place.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Mehrfunktionstaste der ein gangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Lichtquelle wenigstens Licht einer ersten und einer zweiten Art abzugeben vermag, und daß die Einrich tung aus zwei Filtern besteht, von denen das erste Fil ter Licht der ersten bzw. zweiten Art durchläßt bzw. geo metrisch begrenzt und von denen das zweite Filter Licht der ersten bzw. zweiten Art geometrisch begrenzt bzw. durchläßt.This task is the one with a multi-function key gangs mentioned type solved according to the invention in that the light source at least light of a first and one second type, and that the Einrich tion consists of two filters, of which the first fil transmits ter light of the first or second type or geo metrically limited and of which the second filter light of the first or second type geometrically limited or lets through.
Für das Licht der ersten und der zweiten Art kann Licht unterschiedlicher Farben, beispielsweise Rot-Licht und Grün-Licht, oder Licht verwendet werden, das in zwei verschiedenen Richtungen polarisiert ist. Im ersten Fall werden für die Filtereinrichtung zwei Farbfilter, bei spielsweise eine grüne Filterfolie und eine rote Filter folie, und im zweiten Fall zwei Polarisationsfilter ver wendet. Als Lichtquelle kommt im ersten Fall eine Zwei- Farben-Leuchtdiode in Betracht, die abhängig von ihrer elektrischen Ansteuerung Rot-Licht oder Grün-Licht abzu geben vermag. Dadurch ist es möglich, zwei völlig ver schiedene Leuchtsymbole an der gleichen Stelle zu erzeu gen, wobei das eine Leuchtsymbol durch Rot-Licht und das andere Leuchtsymbol durch Grün-Licht angezeigt wird.For the light of the first and the second kind, light can different colors, for example red light and Green light, or light used in two polarized in different directions. In the first case are two color filters for the filter device for example a green filter foil and a red filter foil, and in the second case two polarization filters ver turns. In the first case, a two- Color light-emitting diode is considered depending on its electrical control red light or green light can give. This makes it possible to completely ver two to create different light symbols in the same place gene, the one light symbol by red light and the other light symbol is indicated by green light.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung an Hand der Zeichnung nä her erläutert, in deren einziger Figur eine Mehrfunk tionstaste in Explosionsdarstellung gezeigt ist:The invention based on the drawing is forth explained in their single figure a multi-radio is shown in an exploded view:
Eine Zwei-Farben-Leuchtdiode 1 sendet Rot-Licht oder Grün-Licht abhängig von ihrer elektrischen Ansteuerung über eine leuchtende Fläche 2 ab. Auf dieser leuchtenden Fläche 2 liegt eine erste Filterfolie 3, die beispiels weise Grün-Licht lediglich in einem begrenzten Bereich das Symbol "C" durchläßt und sonst sperrt. Rot-Licht wird von dieser Filterfolie 3 unbeschränkt durchgelassen. A two-color light-emitting diode 1 emits red light or green light depending on its electrical control via a luminous surface 2 . On this luminous surface 2 there is a first filter film 3 which, for example, only allows the symbol "C" to pass through the green light and blocks otherwise. Red light is let through by this filter film 3 without restriction.
Auf die Filterfolie 3 folgt eine weitere Filterfolie 4, die Rot-Licht lediglich in einem begrenzten Bereich das Symbol "3" durchläßt und sonst sperrt. Grün-Licht wird von dieser weiteren Filterfolie 4 unverändert durchgelas sen.The filter film 3 is followed by a further filter film 4 which only allows the symbol "3" to pass through red light in a limited area and otherwise blocks it. Green light is passed through unchanged by this further filter foil 4 .
Zum Schutz der Filterfolien 3 und 4 und der Zwei-Farben- Leuchtdiode 1 dient eine Tastenkappe 5 mit einer transpa renten Oberfläche 6.To protect the filter films 3 and 4 and the two-color light-emitting diode 1 , a key cap 5 with a transparent surface 6 serves.
Mit der dargestellten Mehrfunktionstaste ist es möglich, das Symbol "C" und das Symbol "3" in Grün-Licht bzw. in Rot-Licht abhängig von der elektrischen Ansteuerung der Zwei-Farben-Leuchtdiode 1 darzustellen.With the multifunction button shown, it is possible to display the symbol "C" and the symbol "3" in green light or in red light depending on the electrical control of the two-color light-emitting diode 1 .
Wenn anstelle der Farb-Filterfolien Polarisationsfolien verwendet werden, dann sind die Symbole auf senkrecht zu einander polarisierten Polarisationsfolien angeordnet, die von zwei entsprechend polarisierten, umschaltbaren Lichtquellen durchleuchtet werden.If instead of the color filter foils polarizing foils are used, then the symbols are perpendicular to polarization films polarized to one another, that of two appropriately polarized, switchable Light sources are illuminated.
