    The invention relates to a coordinate device (1) which enables manual control of x and a y coordinates. The coordinate device (1) comprises a roller cylinder (5) which can rotate about a single axis of rotation, is translated along the axis of rotation and pressed down to generate a pressure signal. The roller cylinder (5) is carried in an upper support strip (8) and held in layers which allow the roller cylinder to rotate. A lower support strip (8) receives the upper support strip (8) and comprises motion detector elements (13) which detect the rotation and translation of the roller cylinder (5). The guide means (5, 8, 1 1) comprise the roller cylinder (5) and the upper (8) and lower (1 1) support strips are arranged to be able to be pressed down from a rest position in a housing (2, 15) and activate a depression sensor (17). If the full control means is then depressed, without the roller cylinder (5) being raised or lowered, the relative motion detector element (13) on the lower support strip (8) does not affect the measured values of the depression motion detector element (13). In one embodiment of the coordinate device (1), the upper support strip (8) comprises feet (9a-d) which allow it to translate in the longitudinal extent of the lower support strip (8) and the lower support strip (8) comprises a recessed groove (22) which is intended to receive a first pair of feet (9c-d) on the upper support strip and allow it to move along the track. In another embodiment of the coordinate device (1), the feet (9a-d) comprise wheels, which enable the translational movement to take place with even less friction. 10/10

    536 633 longitudinal extent. The control means 5, 8, 11 comprising the roller cylinder 5 and the upper 8 and lower 11 support strips are arranged to be depressed from a rest position in a housing e 2, 15 and to activate a depression sensor 17. As the entire control means is then depressed, without the roller cylinder 5 is raised or lowered relative to the motion detector element 13 on the lower support strip 8, the depression does not advantageously affect the measured values of the motion detector element 13.
    In an embodiment of the coordinate device 1 according to claim 1, the upper support strip (u8) comprises feet (9a-d) which allow it to translate in the longitudinal extension of the lower support strip (8) and the lower support strip 8 comprises a groove 22 which is intended to receive a first pair of solder 9c-d on the upper support strip and allow it to move along the groove.
    In a tedious embodiment of the coordinate device 1, the feet 9a-d comprise wheels, which enable the translational movement to take place with even less friction.
    The invention also relates to such a coordinate device 1 which comprises end position sensors 10, 18a-b for detecting whether the roller cylinder 5 has reached either end position.

The coordinate device has uses that are reminiscent of how, for example, a computer snus is used, but in use the coordinate device is normally still on a surface instead of moving over the surface.
    How the coordinate device l looks in fully assembled position is shown in Figure 10.
    The coordinate device has a rectangular upper surface where a large portion along one long side, facing the user, forms a support 2 for the wrist. along the other long side, which faces away from the user, a roller cylinder 5 is arranged which constitutes the main inlets of the coordinate device. On the part of the wrist support a set of keys 3 and a scroll wheel 4 are arranged, which constitute a complement to the coordinates of the coordinate device in the form of a scroll cylinder.
    The roller cylinder runs in an open groove 6 where it can be moved freely in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the roller cylinder to the right or left. The recessed groove extends close to the short sides of the coordinate device and the ends of the groove constitute a restriction on the movement of the roller cylinder.
    The movement of the roller cylinder in the longitudinal extension of the groove is used by the coordinate device to calculate one parameter in the coordinate indication, here typically an x-coordinate value.
    The roller cylinder can fi itt roll around its axis of rotation and the user can, by rotating the roller cylinder, change the second parameter in the coordinate indication, here typically a y-coordinate value.
    Of course, translation and rotation of the scroll cylinder can be used to generate coordinate indications that are used other than to indicate x- and y-coordinates in a Cartesian coordinate system. The coordinate indications can of course be used in combination with additional input data, such as for instance input data fi from the scroll wheel 4, in order to provide, for example, control data with three dimensions.
    In connection with the nedan gures below, the construction of the coordinate device is described. The description 536 633 is based on a stepwise assembly of the coordinate device from the inside out, ie in general in the manner in which it is suitably mounted during production.
    F ig. 1 shows a roller cylinder 5 with bearings 7a-b next to both ends of the roller cylinder. With the bearings removed from the roller cylinder, both roller shafts of the roller cylinder protruding from both roller cylinders are illustrated. The roller shafts are of considerably smaller diameter than the diameter of the roller cylinder over the main part of its extent and enable the roller cylinder to easily rotate about the roller shafts with these inserted into corresponding holes in the bearings 7a-b. In the proposed embodiment, the roller cylinder is thus slidably mounted in the bearings, which gives a low friction, but one can of course also imagine a variant with ball bearings or other types of bearings.
    Fig. 2 shows the roller cylinder 5 with bearings 7a-b mounted on the roller shafts. The bearing elements 7a-b function partly as bearings but also as fastening elements which are pushed down into receiving openings in an upper support strip and hold the roller cylinder slightly above the upper support strip so that it can rotate slightly.
    F ig. 3 shows the roller cylinder mounted on the upper support strip 8. The upper support strip is substantially rectangular with bevelled openings for receiving the bearing elements at both short sides of the strip so that the roller cylinder extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strip. In each of the four corners of the upper support strip, feet 9a-d are arranged which enable the strip with the roller cylinder to move over a surface. In the proposed embodiment, the feet consist of elements projecting from the underside of the strip with flat undersides that easily slide on the surface. Obviously, the strip can roll even easier if the feet consist of ball bearings or ball-bearing wheels with the axes of rotation parallel to the short sides of the upper support strip.
    From one long side of the upper support strip protrudes a stop element 10 which is used to detect whether the strip has reached either end position in its translational movement.
    Fig. 4 shows a lower support strip 11 which consists of a substantially rectangular element with a long side which is of almost the same length as the length of the coordinate device, so that the upper support strip can be received on the shorter lower support strip with space for the lower support strip to be displaced along the lower support strip parallel to the long side.
    On both short sides of the lower support strip 11, end portions 12a-b are arranged. The two end portions have inner surfaces facing each other and are formed as part of a spherical surface. The inner surfaces of the 536 633 two end portions are designed to receive the bearing elements of the roll cylinder having outer surfaces formed as part of a sphere. The end portions extend upwards from the upper side of the lower support strip and outwards from one long side. Along the same long side on the middle of the lower support strip, a motion detector element 13 is arranged which is directed towards the position where the roller cylinder is arranged, i.e. in the same direction as the end portions extend. The motion detector element 13 thus has a fi x height above the two strips relative to the roller cylinder, independent of how the entire control member 5, 8, 11 is constituted by the roller cylinder and the two strips move, which gives a high degree of reliability when reading the movement of the roller cylinder.
    On the second long side of the lower support strip, a pressure element 14 projects approximately in the middle of the strip.
    The pressure element cooperates with a pressure sensor, so that when the entire control means 5, 8, 11 which consists of the roller cylinder and the two strips are pressed down, the pressure element is pressed against the pressure sensor and a signal is generated which indicates that the control means is pressed down. This can be used in the same way as the push buttons on a regular computer mouse.
    Along the second long side of the lower support strip extends a sunken groove 22 which is intended to receive a pair of feet 9c-d on the upper support strip and allows it to move along the track. Because the upper support strip with one pair of feet rests in the groove, the upper support strip is always kept at the same height above the lower support strip, regardless of how it is lifted up or pressed down.
    F ig. 5 shows a base 15 for a coordinate device according to the invention and this is designed to receive the control means 5, 8, 11. The chassis 15 comprises an elongate, approximately rectangular dry sink 16 which extends along one long side of the chassis and is designed to receive the roller cylinder. The recess enables the entire guide means 5, 8, 11 to move slightly downwards from a rest position. The control means is normally held in this rest position by a springing element and if the control means is pressed down, it springs back to the rest position as soon as the pressure has ceased.
    The guide member rests at two points on the end portions 12a-b of the lower support strip and the resilient element, so that it can be angled about the axis extending between the two support points on the end portion.
    The chassis 15 comprises three pressure sensors 17, 18a-b which are used to detect the movement of the control means. A depression sensor 17 is arranged so that it cooperates with the pressure element 14 on the lower support strip and detects whether the control member is depressed. Two end position sensors 18a-b are 536 633 arranged so that they cooperate with the stop element 10 on the upper support strip. When the upper support strip moves laterally, the stop element 10 reaches either end position sensor 18a-b which generates a signal indicating that the roller cylinder has reached an end position.
    Along one long side of the base 15, along and immediately adjacent to the recess 16, a sliding path 19 is arranged which receives a pair of feet 9a-b on the upper support strip and allows it to slide with low friction thereon. The chassis 15 further comprises a scroll wheel 20 for detecting additional coordinate information and five pressure sensors 21 for additional pressure folders.
    Fig. 6 shows the lower support strip mounted on the base and the clock clearly illustrates how the pressure element 14 on the lower support strip extends above the depression sensor 17 on the base. It is further illustrated how the end portions 12a-b of the lower support strip 11 are arranged next to the short sides of the recess 16 on the chassis.
    Fig. 7 shows the guide means 5, 8, 11 arranged on the chassis 15. The roller cylinder 5 is in a central position and can be shifted to the right or left. The entire control means can be depressed so that the depression sensor 17 is activated, but without the motion detector element 13 being raised or lowered relative to the roller cylinder.
    Fig. 8 shows the roller cylinder in its left-hand position on the coordinate device and here the stop element 10 on the upper support strip touches the left end bearing sensor 18a. Fig. 9 shows the roller cylinder in its highest position on the coordinate device and here the stop element 10 on the upper support strip touches the right end position sensor 18b.
    F ig. 10 shows the coordinate device with a lid 2 attached which constitutes support for the wrist. The cover prevents the guide means 5, 8, 11 from falling out of the coordinate device, but still allows the roller cylinder to slide laterally, rotate about its axis of rotation and to be depressed. The roller cylinder is accessible through open groove 6 in the lid but is prevented from falling out through the groove by being attached to the upper support strip with the bearings. In the dry disclosure form, the coordinate device comprises scroll wheels 4 and additional keys 3, but these are obviously not necessary.
    The coordinate device also does not have to comprise a wrist support and can thus be made narrower. Alternatively, the surface which in this form of embodiment consists of a wrist rest 536 633 can be covered by keys so that the coordinate device constitutes a keyboard with associated control means 5, 8, 1 1.
