Abstract

The cover is moulded from a supple material such as a prevulcanised latex and is shaped to fit over a the keyboard of a computer programmed to type in a foreign language, such as hebrew, arabic or an oriental language.

Description

2868734 i2868734 i

La présente invention concerne un dispositif, souple est remplaçable, en forme d'une façade applicable sur un clavier alphanumérique pour changer l'orientation linguistique d'un clavier, sans avoir le besoin de changer le clavier lui même.  The present invention relates to a device, flexible is replaceable, in the form of a facade applicable to an alphanumeric keyboard to change the language orientation of a keyboard, without the need to change the keyboard itself.

La façade en question est de nature souple ( latex pré vulcanisé ou silicone par exemple), sur laquelle sera imprimé des jeux de caractères, symboles, caractères graphiques et numérique d'une langue étrangère. ( par i0 exemple la configuration d'une clavier QWERTY en anglais).  The facade in question is flexible in nature (pre-vulcanized latex or silicone for example), on which will be printed sets of characters, symbols, graphic characters and digital language of a foreign language. (For example the configuration of a QWERTY keyboard in English).

Cette façade évite d'ajouter des jeux des caractères collants sur les touches de clavier ( difficile à trouver pour certain langues étrangères, pas évident de coller les caractères).  This facade avoids adding sticky character sets on keyboard keys (hard to find for some foreign languages, not easy to paste characters).

Elle évite aussi de graver les caractères des langues étrangères sur le même clavier ( difficile à réaliser par soi même sans recours à un professionnel).  It also avoids engraving the characters of foreign languages on the same keyboard (difficult to achieve by itself without recourse to a professional).

On peut aussi coupler deux configurations de deux langues différentes sur la même façade, très pratique et facilite le travail des personne bilingue ou les professionnels d'interprétations.  We can also couple two configurations of two different languages on the same facade, very practical and facilitates the work of bilingual people or interpreting professionals.

On peut aussi imprimer des jeux des caractères BRAILLE, en évidence, ce que rend accessible, pour les non voyants et les mal voyants, l'utilisation d'un clavier normale et bon marché.  It is also possible to print BRAILLE character sets, which makes it easy for blind and partially sighted people to use a normal and inexpensive keyboard.

Dans le passé, si vous vouliez travailler un document bilingue ( français/ hébreu par exemple), il fallait ubtilisé les deux systèmes d'exploitation ( un 0.5 français et la version hébreu) et en plus il fallait jongler entre deux claviers différents (ce que revenait trop chère et peu pratique).  In the past, if you wanted to work a bilingual document (French / Hebrew for example), you had to use both operating systems (a French 0.5 and the Hebrew version) and in addition you had to juggle between two different keyboards (which came back too expensive and impractical).

Normalement, les systèmes d'exploitations informatiques actuels donnent la possibilité d'ajouter des dictionnaires étrangères supplémentaires et gratuites, ainsi ils donnent la possibilités de configurer des claviers étrangère. Vous pouvez ainsi changer d'une langue occidentale ( écriture de gauche à droite) à une langue orientale ( écriture de droite à gauches) ou une langue asiatique (de haute en bas), sans s changer le système d'exploitation existant.  Normally, current computer operating systems give the possibility to add additional foreign dictionaries and free, so they give the possibility of configuring foreign keyboards. You can change from a Western language (writing from left to right) to an Eastern language (writing from right to left) or an Asian language (from top to bottom), without changing the existing operating system.

Reste encore le problème du clavier: soit il faut changer le clavier et ses branchements (trop chère et pas pratique) soit il faut coller des jeux des caractères étrangers sur les touches de clavier ( difficile à trouver et pas très évident).  Remains the problem of the keyboard: either you have to change the keyboard and its connections (too expensive and not practical) or you have to stick games of foreign characters on the keyboard keys (hard to find and not very obvious).

Soit il faut graver les jeux des caractères étrangers sur les touches ( pas évident par soi même, peu 15 esthétique).  Either it is necessary to engrave games of foreign characters on keys (not obvious by itself, not aesthetic).

Mon invention résout le problème du clavier, un dispositif bon marché, facile à appliquer directement sur le pavé alpha-numérique d'un clavier, remplaçable, esthétique, sans besoin de changer le branchement du clavier. et protège le clavier contre les poussières.  My invention solves the problem of the keyboard, a cheap device, easy to apply directly on the keypad alpha-numeric keypad, replaceable, aesthetic, without the need to change the keyboard connection. and protects the keyboard against dust.

La façade clavier peut se réaliser par un moulage ( latex prévulcansé ou silicone ou tous autre matière souple) par 25 moulage à partir d'un clavier.  The keyboard face can be realized by molding (latex prevulcansé or silicone or any other soft material) by molding from a keyboard.

Deux modèles sont à proposer: 1-un modèle plat qui couvre le clavier, sans qu'elle s'enfonce entre les touches du clavier ( comme un couvre 30 clavier classique) sur laquelle sera imprimé le s jeux des caractères de la langue désirée à l'emplacement des touches du clavier ( moins esthétique) 2- un modèle creux qui s'enfonce entre les touches du 35 clavier et s'adapte complètement aux touches du clavier, sur chaque touche sera marqué la lettre de la langue désirée.( plus esthétique) Le choix entre les deux modèles est basé sur le prix et la technique de réalisation, sans oublier le goût personnel de chaque utilisateur.  Two models are proposed: 1-a flat model that covers the keyboard, without it sinks between the keys of the keyboard (as a classic keyboard cover 30) on which will be printed the character sets of the desired language to the location of the keys of the keyboard (less aesthetic) 2- a hollow model which sinks between the keys of the keyboard and fully adapts to the keys of the keyboard, on each key will be marked the letter of the desired language. aesthetic) The choice between the two models is based on the price and the technique of realization, without forgetting the personal taste of each user.
