Abstract

"TECLADO EXPANSìVEL E RETRáTIL COM TAMANHOS DE TECLA AJUSTáVEIS". Um teclado (100) que pode ser utilizado tanto em um estado expandido como contraído. Um teclado (100) é composto de um alojamento expansível e compressível (106) que suporta uma pluralidade de cintas elásticas (136). Conjuntos de chave de tecla (140) são presos à cinta elástica (136). Quando o alojamento do teclado (106) se expande, as cintas elásticas (136) se alongam, e a distância entre as teclas (102) é aumentada. As faces superiores das teclas (102) podem ter tamanhos variáveis, de maneira tal que, com a expansão, elas aumentem de tamanho.
