JPS5731091A - Pattern inputting device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To indicate directly without use of paper and to indicate or eliminate a character and a pattern without troublesome operation by converting a pressed pattern such as the character and the pattern written by a pen, etc. into an electrical signal. CONSTITUTION:An indicator 2 is put on the upper surface of a pattern input surface 1a of a pattern input device body 1, and on the upper surface of the indicator 2, a colored thin plate 3 applied with an adhesive material and a semitransparent thin plate 4 are placed. The thin plates 3, 4 is constituted by a soft member, and after separating the thin plate 4 from the thin plate 3, the thin plate 3 is put on the thin plate 4 is, and both are slightly pressed, and further, after making the surface of the thin plate 4 a white color, the upper surface is pushed down with a pen 5, etc. Thus, on the pressed part, paint on the thin plate 3 is coated, thereby allowing a pattern drawn by the pen 5 to be indicated directly on the indicator 2. Further simultaneously pressure generated by the pen 5 transmits on the input surface 1a via the thin plate 4, 3, and in the body 1 the pattern is converted into an electrical signal, and indication or elimination is done without a troublesome operation and without using paper.
