[0001] The present invention relates to a control button for a control input device. It also relates to a kit for producing such a control button, a control input device, such as a joystick, comprising such a control button and a method for producing such a control input device. .
[0002] The field of the invention is the field of control input devices for a game console or a computer, such as a joystick. STATE OF THE ART Most electronic / computer games are controlled by control input devices, also known as joysticks. Each handle comprises at least one button, also called a trigger, rotatably movable between a starting position and an arrival position. Such a button may be used either to enter a binary command or to enter a command whose intensity depends on the amount of movement of the button relative to the starting position. For example, the speed of movement of a virtual object of the electronic game is adjusted according to the stroke of the button relative to its starting position. However, to enter commands in a faster way it is sometimes desirable to reduce the stroke of the button by changing the starting position 25 and / or the finish position. More generally, there is a growing need to adjust the stroke of the control buttons. US 8,480,491 B2 proposes a handle provided with means for adjusting the starting position and / or the arrival position of a control button. To adjust the starting position or the arrival positron, it is proposed a screw abutting against one end of a rotatable piece, said abutment, secured to the control knob and positioned around an axis of rotation of the control button, and changing the maximum angle of rotation of the stop piece. The control button proposed in this document therefore requires an adjustment member external to the control button, such as a screw. However, the use of such adjustment means has various disadvantages. First of all such external adjustment means changes the balance of the control button. In addition, such adjustment means requires the use of a tool, such as a screwdriver, and the stroke adjustment of the control knob can not be done manually. In addition, the adjustment means described in this document is not robust. An object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks. Another object of the invention is to provide a control button whose stroke is adjustable more ergonomically for the user. Another object of the invention is to provide a control button whose stroke is adjustable while preserving the balance of the control button.
[0003] Finally another object of the invention is to provide a more robust adjustable stroke control button.
[0004] DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The invention proposes to achieve at least one of the aforementioned objects by a control button for a control input device, such as a joystick, provided for rotation, in particular in a housing. arranged in the frame of said device, between a position, said departure, when said control button is at rest, and a position, said arrival, when a force is applied to said control button to enter a control, said control button comprising: - a so-called lower part, intended to be rotatably fixed, about an axis of rotation, on / in a frame of said control input device, and - a piece, said upper, adapted to be removably fixed, in particular removable, on said lower part; characterized in that said upper member comprises: a surface, said start stop surface, intended to abut against a portion of said frame of said device when said control knob is in the starting position so as to adjust said starting position; and / or a surface, said end stop surface, intended to abut against a portion of said frame of said device when said control knob is in the finish position so as to adjust said arrival position. Thus, the invention proposes to provide a two-part control button, the upper part having a starting stop surface and / or an end stop surface against the chassis of the control input device when the button control is in starting position, respectively arrival, so that the starting position, respectively arrival, of the control button can be changed / adjusted.
[0005] Therefore, according to the invention, the adjustment of the stroke of the control knob is done directly by the upper part of the control knob, and therefore by the control knob itself, and not by an adjustment element. external, relative to the control button and movable in said control button, as is the case in the device of US 8,480,491 B2. The invention therefore provides an adjustment of the stroke of the control button while preserving the balance and robustness of the control button. In addition, the adjustment of the stroke of the control knob according to the invention is more ergonomic because it does not require the manipulation with a tool, such as a screwdriver, of an external adjustment element to the control knob. and mobile in the, or relative to, the control button. According to the invention the upper part may comprise in part, or constitute the whole of, the manipulation surface of the control button 30 by the user, that is to say the surface intended to come into contact with a finger of the user and through which the user manipulates the command button. According to the invention, the control button may comprise the starting stop surface or the end stop surface or both. According to a preferred embodiment, the control button according to the invention may comprise at least one attachment means, interchangeably, in the same attachment position, at least two upper parts. In this embodiment, said upper pieces may each have an end stop surface at a different angular distance from the frame portion of the control input device against which said end stop surface comes into contact. stop, particularly at a different distance from the edge of a housing provided in said frame and wherein the control knob is rotatably disposed. Thus, the upper parts are fixed on the lower part always at the same position. By cons, the upper parts each having an end stop surface being at a different distance from the frame portion against which they abut, each upper part allows a different arrival position of the other. It is thus possible to adjust the arrival position of the control knob by selecting such or such upper part. Said distance measured for the arrival stop surface may vary by a step between 1 ° and 15 °, from one piece to another. Said distance is measured when the control knob is in the rest or departure position.
[0006] Alternatively or in addition, in this preferred embodiment, the upper pieces may each have a starting abutment surface at a different distance from said same attachment position. Thus, the upper parts are fixed on the lower part 30 always at the same position. By cons, each upper part allows a different starting position by forcing the control button to a different rotation, in the starting position, by abutting against a frame portion on the side of the axis of rotation of the control button and without any effort being applied by the user. It is thus possible to adjust the starting position of the control knob by selecting one or the other upper part. Said distance measured for the starting abutment surface may vary by a step between 1mm and 5mm, from one piece to another.
[0007] More particularly, the lower part may comprise a single position for fixing the upper part on said lower part. Each abutment surface may be larger or smaller, and may in some cases be limited to contact in the form of a dot. However, it is preferable that the contact surface is not reduced to a point since this would cause a rapid degradation of the abutment surface and / or the frame of the control input device, particularly with regard to the abutment surface of the control device. 'arrival.
[0008] According to another embodiment, which may optionally be combined with the previous embodiment, the control knob may comprise at least one means for fixing the upper part on said lower part in at least two different positions spaced apart in the plane. rotation of said control knob and being at different distances: - of the frame portion against which the starting stop surface abuts, and / or - of the frame portion against which the abutment surface 25 of arrival comes to a stop. In other words, the control knob may comprise at least one attachment means of the upper part on said lower part in at least two different positions spaced in the path of rotation of said lower part.
[0009] Thus, with one and the same upper piece, it is possible to adjust the starting position, respectively the arrival position, and therefore the stroke, of the control button. Preferably, the starting abutment surface may be on the side of a front face of said control button so that it abuts against a portion of the frame being on the side of a front edge of a housing, arranged in the frame and wherein said control knob 5 is rotated, and in particular an edge of said housing being on the side of a front face of said control input device. In particular, the starting abutment surface may be on the side of the axis of rotation of the lower part so that it abuts against a frame portion on the side of said axis of rotation.

According to a particular embodiment, the end stop surface may be provided at one end, opposite the bottom piece, of a shape projecting from the upper piece, and therefore from the lower piece, on the side of a side face of said upper part, and therefore of the lower part, perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the lower part, and therefore of the control button. Advantageously, the upper part can be fixed on the lower part 30 in a direction, called assembly, forming an angle less than or equal to 45 ° with said axis of rotation, which makes it possible to assemble the upper part with the robust lower part reducing the risk of inadvertent disassembly of said parts. Preferably, the assembly direction may be parallel to the axis of rotation, or at least have an angle less than or equal to 5 °, which makes it possible to increase the robustness of the assembly of the upper part. with the lower part and decrease even more, the risks of untimely disassembly. Advantageously, the assembly direction may furthermore not be parallel to the plane of rotation of the control knob, which is the same as the plane of rotation of the lower part. More particularly, the assembly direction may have an angle greater than or equal to 45 °, and in particular an angle of between 85 ° and 95 °, relative to the plane of rotation of the control knob.
[0011] Preferably, the assembly direction may be perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the control button. Thus, the risks of untimely disassembly are even lower, or even canceled. Advantageously, the upper part can be fixed on the lower part 15 by rotation or by translation. Preferably, the upper piece can be fixed on the lower part by translation, such a fixing being simpler, faster and more ergonomic to achieve for the user.

[0019] In the figures and in the remainder of the description, the elements common to several figures retain the same reference.
[0020] FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment of an adjustable stroke control button according to the invention. The rotary control knob 100 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a lower piece 102, also called a base piece, and a top piece 104, also called a handling piece, removably assembled together. The lower piece 102 is intended to be rotatably attached to a chassis of a control input device, also referred to herein as the "joystick", at its axis of rotation 106. More particularly, the bottom piece 102 is provided to be fixed in the frame of a handle so that it can not be mounted / disassembled without at least partially disassembling said frame. The control knob 100 is rotatable in a plane 108 perpendicular to the axis of rotation 106, along a trajectory 110 in an arc of a circle centered on the axis of rotation 106. FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of the lower part FIG. 1. The lower part 102 has a female fastening shape 202, of trapezoidal section (or inverted "T"), intended to accommodate, in a direction 204 parallel to the rotation axis 106 and perpendicular to the plane of rotation 108, a form of male attachment provided on the upper part 104, in one direction to fix the upper part 104 with the lower part 102 and in the opposite direction to remove the upper part 104 of the bottom piece 102. This female fastener shape 202 allows attachment of one or more upper pieces to the lower piece 102 at a single fastening position. The lower part 102 further comprises a female locking shape 206, of rectangular section, designed to accommodate, in a direction 208, perpendicular to the axis of rotation 106 and parallel to the plane of rotation 108, a male locking shape provided on the upper piece 104, 30 when the upper piece is assembled with the lower piece. The direction 208 is substantially perpendicular to the upper surface 210 of the lower piece 102 and the direction 204 is substantially parallel to the upper surface 210 of the lower piece 102. In the example shown, the lower piece 102 has a single position of fixation, determined by the female fastening form 202, 3035595 - 13 - and for fixing removably and interchangeably different upper parts.
[0021] FIGURES 3a and 3b are schematic representations of the top piece 104 of the control knob 100 of FIGURE 1 in two different views. The upper part 104 comprises a male form of attachment 302, of trapezoidal section (or inverted "T"), adapted to be inserted, in the direction 204 in the female fastening form 202 provided on the lower part 102 to secure the upper piece 104 to the lower piece 102. The upper piece 104 further comprises a male locking shape 304, of rectangular section, adapted to insert, in the direction 208, into the female lock form. 206, provided on the lower piece 102, when the upper piece 104 is assembled with the lower piece 102. The male and female interlocking shapes 304 and 206 interengage with each other to maintain the upper piece 104 fixedly on the lower piece 102 and avoid inadvertent disassembly of the upper member 104. The upper piece 104 has an upper surface 306 for contacting a finger of the uti the user, in particular with a user index, when the user presses the command button 100 to enter a command. On this upper surface 306, the upper part has a flexible coating 308 having a greater coefficient of friction. This coating 308 is made of TPE. In the example shown, the user can actuate the control button 100 only through the upper surface 308 of the upper part 104.
[0022] The upper part 104 has an abutment surface 310, called the starting abutment surface, situated on the side of the axis of rotation 106 of the control knob when the upper part 104 is assembled with the lower part 102. This abutment surface 310 is provided for coming into contact with a frame portion of a handle, when the control knob 100 is attached to said handle, and when the control knob is in its home position in which no effort is applied on the control button. More particularly, the starting stop surface 310 is provided to come into contact with a frame portion 5 located on the side of a front edge of a housing, provided in the frame, wherein said control knob is rotation, and in particular an edge of said housing being on the side of a front face of said control input device and the side of the axis of rotation 106. By adjusting the distance, shown by the arrow 312, between the surface 10 of the starting stop 310 and the fixing position of the upper part 104 on the lower part 102, it is possible to adjust the starting position of the control button 100. The greater the distance 312, the larger the control knob 100 will be "depressed" or "in rotation" in its starting position, without any effort being exerted on the control knob 100. Thus, in the example described, the adjustment of the starting position is realized by planning for several upper pieces 104 each having a distance 312 between its starting stop surface 310 and the fixing position different from the other upper pieces. Thus, the user can change / adjust the starting position quickly and ergonomically by replacing an upper part with another upper part. The upper piece 104 has an abutment surface 314, said end stop surface, located on a lateral side of the upper piece 104 so that it abuts a frame portion on the side of a side edge of a housing, arranged in the frame of the handle and wherein the control knob 100 is rotated, and in particular an edge on the side of a side face of the handle. In the example shown, the end stop surface 314 is provided at one end, opposite the bottom piece 102, of a shape 316 projecting from the upper piece 104, and the lower piece on the side of a side face of said upper piece 104 perpendicular to the axis of rotation 106 of the lower piece 102. By adjusting the angular distance between the end stop surface 314 and the edge of the frame against which the end stop surface 104 comes into contact, it is possible to adjust the arrival position of the control knob 100. The smaller the angular distance 318, the more the control knob 100 will reach its position. arrival quickly, the race to reach the finish position will be small.
[0023] Thus, in the example described, the adjustment of the arrival position is achieved by providing a plurality of upper pieces 104 each having such an angular distance (between its end stop surface 314 and the frame portion opposite said end stop surface 314 against which said end stop surface 314 abuts) other than the other top pieces. Thus, the user can change / adjust the arrival position, quickly and ergonomically, by replacing an upper room with another upper room.
[0024] FIGURES 4a and 4b show a representation of an example of adjustment of the arrival position with a control knob disposed in the frame of a partially illustrated joystick. FIGURE 4a and 4b incompletely represent a handle 400 comprising a control knob, respectively 1001 for FIGURE 4a and 1002 for FIGURE 4b, rotatably mounted in a housing provided in the frame 404 of the handle 400. The handle 400 comprising a front face 406 directed towards the user when the handle 400 is held by the user, a rear face 408 opposite the front face and a side face 410 joining the front face 406 and the rear face 408.
[0025] In each of FIGS. 4a and 4b, the control knob, respectively 1001 and 1002, is shown in its starting position in full lines and in its finish position with a dashed line. In FIGURE 4a, the control knob 1001 is formed by a bottom piece, for example the bottom piece 102 of FIGURE 1. In FIGURE 4a, the control knob 1001 includes a top piece 1041 whose stop surface d The arrival 3141 is, at an angular distance, denoted dal, of the frame portion against which it abuts in the finish position, when the control knob 1002 is in its starting position. In FIGURE 4b, the control knob 1002 includes the same lower piece 102 as the control knob 1001 of FIGURE 4a. In contrast to FIGURE 4a, in FIGURE 4b, the control knob 1002 includes an upper part 1042 whose end stop surface 3142 is at an angular distance, denoted da2, of the frame portion against which it comes into abutment in the finish position, when the control knob 1002 is in its starting position. The angular distance da2 is smaller than the angular distance dal. Therefore, for the control knob 1002 the end position of the knob is reached with a smaller rotation, i.e. with a smaller stroke, ie more quickly, compared to the control knob 1001.
[0026] FIGURE 5 is a representation of an example of adjustment of the starting position with a control knob disposed in the frame of a partially illustrated joystick. FIG. 5 incompletely represents a handle 400 comprising a control knob, respectively 1003 and 1004, rotatably mounted in a housing provided in the frame 404 of the handle 400. The handle 400 comprising a front face 406 directed towards the user when the lever 400 is held by the user, a rear face 408 opposite the front face and a side face 410 joining the front face 406 and the rear face 408.
[0027] In FIGURE 5, the control buttons 1003 and 1004 are shown in their starting position. The control button 1003 is shown in solid lines and the control button 1003 is shown in dotted lines. The control knob 1003 is formed by a lower piece, e.g. the bottom piece 102 of FIG. 1. The control knob 1003 comprises an upper piece 1043 whose starting stop surface 3103 is at a distance, noted d3 relative to the attachment position of the upper part 1043 to the lower part 102. The control knob 1004 comprises the same lower part 102 as the control knob 1003. Unlike the control knob 3035595 -17- 1003 the control knob 1004 comprises an upper part 1044 whose starting abutment surface 3104 is at a distance d4 relative to the attachment position 202 of the upper part 1044 on the lower part 102.
[0028] The distance d3 is smaller than the angular distance d4. Therefore, for the control button 1004 the starting position is more advanced, that is to say, has a greater rotation, compared to the control button 1003, without any pressure being applied by the user. .
[0029] Of course, the examples shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b can be combined with the examples shown in FIGURE 5 so that one and the same upper part performs both an adjustment of the starting position of the control knob and an adjustment of the arrival position 15 of the control button. Thus, each of the upper parts 1043 and 1044 may comprise an end stop surface 3141 or 3142. In the examples described, the upper parts are fixed to the lower part in the same single fastening position embodied by the female form 202. According to one embodiment, not shown in the FIGURES, the upper part (s) may be fixed to the lower part in at least two fastening positions spaced apart in the plane of rotation (108), providing for: - several fixing means on the lower piece, for example several forms of male or female attachment, such as the female fastening form 202; and / or - several fastening means on the upper part, for example several male or female fastening forms, such as the male fastening form 302. Naturally, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described.
