Abstract

An illuminated keyboard comprises a sheet 1 of deformable insulating material impressed with bosses 2, the lower face of each boss 2 having deposited thereon an electrical contact 3 cooperating, upon deformation of the boss, with a contact 4 carried on the upper face of an insulating plate 5, disposed below the sheet 1. Depression of a key at F causes portion 27 of the key to deform the boss 2 and mate contacts 3 and 4 together: the point of manipulation F of the key is offset from the boss 2 and portion 27 so that a light source placed below the plate 5 illuminates the key without any obscuring by the contacts 3, 4.
