DISPOSITIF POUR L'AUTO-APPRENTISSAGE FACILE
DE LA DACTYLOGRAPHIE
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif pour 1' auto-apprentissage facile de la dactylographie.DEVICE FOR EASY SELF-LEARNING
Typing
The subject of the present invention is a device for easy self-learning of typing.
Il est destiné à permettre à tout un chacun d' appren- dre seul à utiliser un clavier de machine à écrire ou d'ordinateur en se servant de ses dix doigts. It is intended to allow everyone to learn alone how to use a typewriter or computer keyboard using their ten fingers.
La diffusion déjà très large des machines à écrire, notamment personnelles, et surtout le développement sans cesse croissant des micro-ordinateurs personnels où les données doivent être entrées par l'intermédiaire d'un clavier de type machine à écrire, rendent impératif l'apprentissage de la dactylographie pour tous les utilisateurs potentiels : à quoi bon, en effet, disposer de machine de traitement de 1' information de plus en plus rapides si l'on perd un temps considérable pour entrer les données ?
Il existe certes des logiciels d'apprentissage, mais ils sont coûteux et impliquent 1' achat préalable du matériel approprie.The already very wide distribution of typewriters, especially personal ones, and above all the constantly growing development of personal microcomputers where data must be entered via a typewriter-type keyboard, makes learning imperative. typing for all potential users: what is the point of having an information processing machine that becomes faster and faster if you waste considerable time entering data?
Learning software does exist, but it is expensive and involves the prior purchase of the appropriate hardware.
Il existe également des méthodes d ' apprentissage de la dactylographie enseignées dans des écoles spécialisées, où l'on apprend quel doigt doit taper quelle touche. Mais cet enseignement, relativement long et coûteux, requiert la fréquentation d'une école, donc du temps libre, l'intervention d'un professeur et/ou 1' achat de manuels appropriés. Destiné à de futurs professionnels, cet enseignement vise essentiellement à apprendre la dactylographie sans regarder le clavier. There are also methods of learning typing taught in specialized schools, where you learn which finger should type which key. However, this relatively long and costly education requires attendance at a school, therefore free time, the intervention of a teacher and / or the purchase of appropriate textbooks. Aimed at future professionals, this course essentially aims to learn typing without looking at the keyboard.
Le dispositif suivant l'invention, qui s'appuie au contraire sur la vision du clavier, vise à permettre cet apprentissage à tout le monde, tout seul, sans professeur, très facile ment, très rapidement et pour un coût dérisoire. The device according to the invention, which is based on the contrary on the vision of the keyboard, aims to allow this learning to everyone, all alone, without a teacher, very easily, very quickly and at a ridiculous cost.
Il est constitué par la combinaison de capuchons colorés transparents en matière plastique coiffant les touches et de doigtiers en caoutchouc, type médical roulé par exemple, ou encore de manchons, voire de simples pastilles adhésives, également colorés, revêtant chacun des doigts de la main, notamment sur sa face dorsale, le pouce excepté, le doigtier, le manchon ou la pastille étant de la même couleur que le capuchon des touches devant être frappées par ce doigt. It is made up of a combination of transparent colored plastic caps covering the keys and rubber finger cots, of the rolled medical type for example, or of sleeves, or even simple adhesive pads, also colored, covering each of the fingers with the hand, in particular on its dorsal side, except for the thumb, the fingertip, the sleeve or the pastille being the same color as the cap of the keys to be struck by this finger.
Cette visualisation combinée des touches et du doigt correspondant permet d'acquérir très rapidement le réflexe conditionné associant 1 'utilisation du doigt approprié à la touche en question, et aussi d'entretenir ce réflexe une fois acquis. This combined visualization of the keys and of the corresponding finger makes it possible to very quickly acquire the conditioned reflex associating the use of the appropriate finger for the key in question, and also to maintain this reflex once acquired.
Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d 'exemple non limitatif d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l ' invention
La figure 1 représente le capuchon coiffant une touche dont le caractère est visible par transparence.In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention
FIG. 1 shows the cap covering a key, the character of which is visible by transparency.
Les figures 2 et 3 représentent un doigt revêtu respectivement d'un manchon ou d ' un doigtier coloré. Figures 2 and 3 show a finger respectively coated with a sleeve or a colored finger.
La figure 4 montre le clavier d'une machine à écrire, ou d'un ordinateur, avec les secteurs colorés correspondant aux différents doigts de la main revêtus de leurs marqueurs colorés. FIG. 4 shows the keyboard of a typewriter, or of a computer, with the colored sectors corresponding to the different fingers of the hand coated with their colored markers.
Le dispositif, figures 1 à 4, est constitué de capuchons 1, en matière plastique colorée et transparente, associés à des marqueurs colorés 2, 3 pouvant être enfilés ou fixés sur les doigts 4. The device, FIGS. 1 to 4, consists of caps 1, made of colored and transparent plastic material, associated with colored markers 2, 3 which can be threaded or fixed on the fingers 4.
Les capuchons 1 sont réalisés de telle manière qu'ils puissent coiffer les touches du clavier sans gêner le fonctionnement de ce dernier, ni la frappe. Dans ce but, ils sont fabriqués dans une matière mince, souple ou semi-rigide, et leurs dimensions sont telles que leur fixation sur les touches s'effectue avec un léger frottement. La matière utilisée est suffisamment transparente pour que les caractères 5 gravés sur ces dernières soient clairement visibles. Les capuchons 1 sont réalisés en quatre séries de couleurs différentes, correspondant chacune à un doigt de la main, pouce excepté, par exemple bleu pour l'index, jaune pour le majeur, etc, ce qui permet, en disposant judicieusement les capuchons colorés sur les touches, de délimiter pour chaque main quatre secteurs 6, 7, 8, 9 et 6', 7', 8', 9', associés chacun à un seul doigt. The caps 1 are made in such a way that they can cover the keys of the keyboard without interfering with the operation of the latter, or typing it. For this purpose, they are made of a thin, flexible or semi-rigid material, and their dimensions are such that their attachment to the keys is effected with a slight friction. The material used is sufficiently transparent for the characters 5 engraved thereon to be clearly visible. The caps 1 are produced in four different color series, each corresponding to a finger of the hand, except for the thumb, for example blue for the index finger, yellow for the middle finger, etc., which makes it possible, by judiciously arranging the colored caps on the keys, to delimit for each hand four sectors 6, 7, 8, 9 and 6 ', 7', 8 ', 9', each associated with a single finger.
Les marqueurs colorés peuvent être des manchons cylindriques 2, ou des doigtiers 3 en caoutchouc de type médical roulé par exemple, ou encore de simples pastilles adhésives, revêtant chacun des doigts 4 de la main, notamment sur sa face dorsale, le pouce, utilisé uniquement pour actionner la barre d'espacement 10, étant excepté. Le doigtier, le manchon ou la pastille adhésive étant de la même couleur que le capuchon 1 coiffant les touches devant être frappées par ce doigt. The colored markers can be cylindrical sleeves 2, or finger cots 3 made of rolled medical type rubber for example, or even simple adhesive pads, covering each of the fingers 4 with the hand, in particular on its dorsal surface, the thumb, used only to activate the space bar 10, except. The finger, the sleeve or the adhesive pad being the same color as the cap 1 covering the keys to be struck by this finger.
Pour les non ou mal voyants, ou même pour faciliter l'apprentissage de la dactylographie sans regarder le clavier, la couleur peut être remplacée ou complétée par une sensation tactile différente provoquée par la structure de la surface des capuchons 1, par exemple rayures verticales, horizontales, obliques ou quadrillées. For the blind or visually impaired, or even to facilitate learning to type without looking at the keyboard, the color can be replaced or supplemented by a different tactile sensation caused by the structure of the surface of the caps 1, for example vertical stripes, horizontal, oblique or squared.
Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus par des dispositifs similaires. The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects which had not, to date, been obtained by similar devices.
