Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improvement to the scrolling / searching for electronic or electrical devices. It relates to in particular an improvement to the scroll / search wheels used in video devices such as VCRs or the like and known as "jog and shuttle". They include, in particular, a annular ring which allows the front or rear reading speed to be varied by rotation of the ring and a second means consisting of a central button provided with general, of a small cavity representing the borrows of a finger which allows to realize various functions, in particular frame-by-frame playback that the change of channels. On VCRs or remote controls from video recorders currently on the market, these wheels are mounted on the surface the front of the control panel. They therefore form an unattractive element and bulky.
  • a rotating part 4 cylindrical, having an axis 5, comprises a cavity 8, offset.
  • This cavity 8 comprises a ball bearing 7, the surface of which lateral lateral is clamped on the cylindrical surface of the cavity 8.
  • a pin of control 9 in the form of a mushroom has a rod threaded clamping into the cavity bearing center. The cap of this mushroom hides the part of the bearing 7 comprising the balls. The bearing friction being eliminated by the presence of the bearing, the rotation of the button 4 is easily controlled using of a user's finger pressed on the mushroom cap.
  • scroll / search wheel is the subject of photos in the German magazine "VIDEO" of January 1994 pages 5-9.
  • a photo page 8 shows keys whose contact surfaces with the user's fingers are slightly dug to fit the shape of this finger as well as a thumbwheel scroll / search whose shape fits well with the general shape of the facade.
  • This wheel comprises a first control means constituted by a button and a second control means (annular) corresponding to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Page 6 of this same article also shows this same kind of wheel, integrated, to a remote control of the device.
  • Each of these prior art relates to a wheel comprising only one single order.
  • the second of these prior art describes a scroll wheel which, like the present invention has qualities of compactness, since integrated in the facade.
  • the wheel according to the invention adds to these compactness qualities by providing in the same cavity a second control means centered on the same axis than the initial button.
  • the present invention relates to a scroll wheel / search for electronic or electrical devices as described in claim 1.
  • the button is mounted eccentrically by relative to the axis of the cavity, this axis of the cavity then constituting a second axis different from the first axis (a).
  • the external surface of the button is tangent to one of the edges of the cavity.
  • the tab is mounted so as to move in an arc of circle in the cavity on the side opposite the point of tangency.
  • reference 1 designates the front of the control panel of a VCR.
  • the scroll / search wheel according to the present invention can also be mounted on a remote control of a VCR in a similar manner to the embodiment shown here.
  • a cavity 2 has been made.
  • the cavity 2 is preferably of concave shape and it has a sufficient diameter to receive the whole of the scroll wheel / research and allow its operation.
  • the scroll / search wheel consists essentially of a button 3 mounted on a rod 4 coaxial with the axis a . Button 3 can be fixed, with a purely decorative role.
  • the button 3 can be movable by rotation around the axis a or by translation along the axis a. In this case, this button 3 allows frame-by-frame playback with the possibility of freeze-frame or channel changes.
  • Button 3 actually has the same functions as the central button of the scroll / search wheel of the classic type. It is mounted inside the cavity 2 so that its outer face 3 'is aligned with said front face 1 of the control panel. As shown in Figure 2, the button is not cylindrical but formed by a sphere element so as to adapt to the cavity 2.
  • the second control means which makes it possible to vary the front or rear reading speed consists of a lug 5 fixed to an annular element 6 which is mounted, as shown in FIG. 2, concentrically with the rod 4 according to the axis a.
  • the assembly consisting of the annular element 6 and the tab 5 is also mounted inside the cavity 2 so as to be able to rotate in this cavity in an arc of a circle 7.
  • the shape of the tab 5 is such that its external surface 5 'is substantially elliptical and is aligned with the external facade. Therefore, due to this construction, none of the elements constituting the scroll / search wheel is protruding from the front of the control panel.
