Definitions

  • the invention is based on apparatuses as known from several applications in technical surroundings and known to persons skilled in the art, which are adapted for performing at least one electrical or electromechanical function.
  • the invention refers to discussion units, which may be used in discussion systems, communication systems or conference systems, as may be found in modem conference rooms and conference centres. Examples of conference systems as well as their assembly are given in WO 2007/028423 A1 .
  • conference units and conference systems are used to facilitate discussions between participants of conferences or meetings.
  • the conference systems typically are installed permanently or non-permanently in the conference rooms for private or public use.
  • These conference systems typically are adapted to allow for a speaker to give a speech using a microphone, and for a chairman of the conference to control the speech, such as by switching on or off the speaker's microphone.
  • Conference systems typically have to satisfy a large number of requirements. Thus, one requirement is that well-established public conference rooms as well as private conference rooms of enterprises and firms take pride in an "upscale" ambience. Thus, the integration of sophisticated electronic components, such as the conference systems known from prior art, typically are rather challenging with respect to interior design aspects. The looks of the conference system have to be matched with furnishings and decorating, as well as with the spirit, the owner of the conference rooms wants to create. Thus, conference systems usually are to be delivered by the manufacturer with number of options regarding the design, in order to match the furniture and/or the decoration of the conference rooms.
  • the invention refers to an apparatus for performing at least one electrical or electromechanical function.
  • the invention may be applied to a large number of apparatuses. Nevertheless, due to the challenges and requirements of this kind of apparatuses, it is preferred to apply the apparatus according to the invention to the use in discussion units as a part of communication systems or conference systems as described above. Nevertheless, other applications are possible.
  • the apparatus is adapted for performing at least one electrical or electromechanical function.
  • This at least one electrical or electromechanical function may e.g. be a communication function, such as switching on or off a microphone or a speaker, or any other function as known from prior art communication systems.
  • the apparatus comprises at least one housing, wherein the housing may comprise one or more housing components.
  • the housing may be formed of metal and/or plastics components, such as injection-moulded thermoplastic housing components.
  • the apparatus comprises at least one pushbutton.
  • This pushbutton may be used, e.g., to initiate the at least one electrical and/or electromechanical function of the apparatus, such as for switching on or off a speaker phone.
  • Other functions may be possible.
  • the term "pushbutton” mainly refers to actions initiated by mechanically pushing, i.e. moving downward, any kind of button, such as by applying force by using a fingertip. Nevertheless, alternatively or additionally, other types of actuations and buttons are possible and to be comprised by the term pushbutton, such as a lever movement, a turning movement or similar movements.
  • the apparatus may comprise one or more of said pushbuttons.
  • the housing further comprises at least one first hinge element, wherein the pushbutton comprises at least one second hinge element.
  • first and second hinge elements are adapted to interact as a hinge in an assembled state of the apparatus.
  • the hinge comprising the first and the second hinge elements, connects the pushbutton and the remainder of the housing and allows for the pushbutton to be operated by applying pressure to the pushbutton and, thereby, applying torque to the hinge.
  • This hinged button design provides a large number of advantages over pushbutton designs as known from prior art apparatuses.
  • a hinge design greatly simplifies the assembly procedure of the apparatus, which, as explained above, is essential in systems requiring a cost-effective and fast exchange of components, e.g. for design purposes.
  • the first hinge element and the second hinge element are adapted to allow for an assembly and/or disassembly of a hinge in a first position and are adapted to prevent a disassembly in at least one second position, wherein the at least one second position differs from the first position.
  • This embodiment of the invention allows for a simple assembly and/or a disassembly procedure of the apparatus.
  • the expression "position" includes any possible orientation of the first and second hinge elements relative to each other in space, including lateral translations and angular orientations or turns.
  • the first and second positions differ by an angular orientation of the pushbutton with regard to the housing of the apparatus.
  • the second position preferably comprises an operation position of the pushbutton, i.e. a position in which a user of the apparatus may operate the pushbutton.
  • the first position is an assembly position, wherein the second position may comprise one or more operation positions of the pushbutton.
  • the first and second positions are located in such a way that a turning of the hinge by an angle of at least 90°, preferably by at least 120°, and most preferably by at least 180° is required in order to move the pushbutton from the first position into the second position or vice versa.
  • a turning of the hinge by an angle of at least 90°, preferably by at least 120°, and most preferably by at least 180° is required in order to move the pushbutton from the first position into the second position or vice versa.
  • an accidental dislocation of the pushbutton from the operation position (second position) into the first position and, thereby, an accidental disassembly of the pushbutton is unlikely or even prevented.
  • this embodiment allows for the implementation of additional elements to keep the pushbutton in the second position, such as by using one or more electronics boards, as will be described below.
  • one of the first and second hinge elements comprises a locking element, preferably one of a bolt, a lock, a catch, or a bar.
  • the other of the first and second hinge elements preferably comprises a clearing element, preferably one of a groove, a slot or a notch. This clearing element and the locking element interact in the first position, in order to allow for the assembly and/or disassembly of the hinge.
