    专利说明:

    [0001] The present invention generally relates to an adaptable handle adapted to receive a touch pad, and to offer the user a man-machine interface adapted for example to the practice of video games.
    [0002] It is known in the prior art joysticks arranged to receive touch pads. Due to the diversity of touch tablets, with a multitude of different sizes or formats, it is interesting to offer a controller that can adapt to different sizes of tablets. However, the width adjustment means are generally limited and the known joysticks are often dedicated to a restricted range of tablets. In addition, the width adjustment can be tedious with locks between the side portions of the controller, without limiting the risk of detachment between the controller and the touch pad, causing a fall of the touch pad.
    [0003] An object of the present invention is to meet the disadvantages of the documents of the prior art mentioned above and in particular, first of all, to propose an adaptable handle for receiving a touch pad from at least two touch pads of different sizes. , with a simple and secure width.
    [0004] For this a first aspect of the invention relates to an adaptable handle arranged to receive a touch pad and comprising: - two lateral portions for holding the touch pad, - Widthing means arranged between the two lateral holding portions to adjust a width between the two lateral holding portions 25 and to allow to receive one of at least two touch pads of different sizes, characterized in that the means of widthing comprise: - first setting means arranged between the two lateral parts to allow a first width of the two lateral portions in successive incremental increments of width, and comprising first locking means arranged to lock the first adjustment means in an incremental width setting position, - second adjustment means arranged between the two lateral parts to allow a second width addition of the two lateral parts in a continuous range of values, and comprising elastic return means arranged to exert a return force to the first width. The adaptable handle according to the present implementation offers two separate adjustment means. The first adjustment means offer a first quick incremental incremental width setting to make an approximate adjustment of the width, and a lock in this position. Then, the second adjustment means make it possible to carry out the final and exact width adjustment (in a continuous value range) to adapt perfectly to the size of the touch pad to be received. The elastic return means to the first width setting finally allows to effectively clamp or grip the touch pad once the latter installed in the adaptable lever, which limits the risk of detachment. In summary, the user simply has to make a first rapid width setting, block the first adjustment means and then install the touch pad by controlling the second means of width, and the elastic return means are responsible for bringing automatically both sides to pinch or clasp the touch pad. Advantageously, the second adjustment means are arranged in series with the first adjustment means. Advantageously, the adaptable handle comprises a contact interface arranged to be in contact with the touch pad received by the controller, and the contact interface comprises a non-slip material. The non-slip material makes it possible to limit the relative movements between the adaptable handle and the touch pad in synergy with the elastic return means, since the latter increase the friction force by creating a contact force between the touch pad and the non-slip material. Advantageously, the non-slip material is an elastomer. It is possible to envisage EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer) or rubber, for example. Advantageously, the second adjustment means are arranged to allow the second setting width in a range of less than four successive incremental width increments. The width adjustment range with the second means of width is advantageously limited so as not to impact the bulk, but allows, by the overlap of several incremental adjustment bearings to adapt to all the touch pads. Advantageously, the second adjustment means comprise second blocking means arranged to lock the second adjustment means in a width adjustment position adapted to the touch pad received by the joystick.
    [0005] Advantageously, the first adjustment means are a rack slide. Advantageously, the second adjustment means are a slide, and the elastic return means are a spring. Advantageously, the adaptable handle comprises: - means of communication with the touch pad arranged to send and / or receive signals to the touch pad, - control means connected to the communication means and arranged to generate control signals for the touch pad.
    [0006] Advantageously, the control means comprise at least one human machine interface with control buttons. Advantageously, the adaptable handle comprises tactile information means connected to the communication means and arranged to receive a tactile signal command sent by the touch pad. Advantageously, the tactile information means comprise at least one vibrator arranged to vibrate at least a portion of the adaptable handle. Advantageously, the adaptable handle comprises holding means arranged to hold the touch pad in place when it is received by the adaptable handle. A latch that fits a touch pad attachment interface, or a retractable tab between a retracted position in which the touch pad can be inserted or removed from the adaptable handle, and a lock position, wherein 15 any touch pad removal movement is impossible. Other features and advantages of the present invention will appear more clearly on reading the following detailed description of an embodiment of the invention given by way of non-limiting example and illustrated by the appended drawings, in which: FIG. 1 represents an isometric front view of an adaptable handle according to the present invention; FIG. 2 represents a rear view of the adaptable handle of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 represents a view of the adaptable handle of FIG. 1 during engagement with a touch pad; - Figure 4 shows the adaptable handle of Figure 1 with a touch pad.
    [0007] FIG. 1 represents an isometric view of an adaptable handle according to the present invention which comprises two lateral parts 11 and 12 connected together by an arm comprising a slider 13. The adaptable handle of FIG. 1 can receive a touch pad 20 and the parts 11 and 12 side include control buttons to form man-machine interfaces to easily play a game with the touch pad 20 when received and / or engaged with the adaptable controller. The connection between the adaptable handle and the touch pad 20 can be carried out in different ways, and there may be mentioned a wired connection via a USB or micro USB type of the touch pad 20 for example, or wireless connections according to different protocols such as Wifi or Bluetooth for example. In order to properly engage with the touch pad 20, each side portion 11 and 12 includes a groove, only the groove 12a of the side portion 12 is visible in this figure. The groove 11a of the lateral part 11 is visible in FIG. 2. Moreover, in order to be able to propose a handle that can be adapted to the different touch pads on the market, the adaptable handle according to the present invention can be adapted to at least two tablets. tactile of different sizes. For this purpose, the adaptable handle comprises first means of width which allow the slider 13 and the lateral portion 111 to move relative to the lateral portion 12 according to the movement A. The adaptable handle also comprises second means of widthing that allow the lateral portion 11 to move relative to the slider 13 according to the movement B. the movement A and the movement B are sliding movements.
    [0008] The movement A thus allows a first rapid width setting in predetermined length increments, as allowed a commitment in slots for example. Once this first width has been achieved, blocking of the slider 13 relative to the side portion 12 is performed. Then, the movement B allows an additional width, but in a continuous value range, to provide a perfect fit to the width of the touch pad 20 in question. In order to secure the holding in place of the touch pad 20, an elastic force F is exerted continuously on the lateral portion 11 to bring it closer to the other side portion 12. Thus, the touch pad 20 will be sandwiched between the two parts lateral 11 and 12. It can be envisaged in particular to connect the side portion 11 to the slider 13 by a tension spring for example. It is conceivable to implant, for example at the bottom of the groove 12a and / or 11a, a non-slip material such as an elastomer, a rubber or other material, which will prevent any sliding of the touch pad 20 with respect to the adaptable handle. FIG. 2 shows a rear view of the adaptable handle of FIG. 1, showing movement locking means A consisting of a wheel 14 which can pivot in a movement C to lock or unlock the movement A of the slide 13 relative to the lateral portion 12. It should be noted that the movement B of the lateral portion 11 relative to the slider 13 is still possible. Figure 3 shows the engagement of a touch pad 20 with the adaptable handle. The first adjustment according to the movement A made it possible to bring the lateral part 11 a little behind the width of the touch pad 20 shown and the user must lock in position the slide 13 (not visible here because hidden by the touch pad 20), and then pull on the side portion 11 to spread it further, despite the restoring force F 30 shown.
    [0009] Figure 4 shows the touch pad 20 engaged on the adaptable handle, with the side portion 11 in contact with the touch pad 20, and exerting a force F, which ensures a good hold in place. It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements obvious to those skilled in the art can be made to the various embodiments of the invention described herein without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.
