METHOD FOR THE INITIAL ADJUSTMENT OF A CONTROL DEVICE FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

摘要

A method for control device adjustment comprising applying a preload simultaneously to a plurality of shafts of a control device so as to take up initial assembly play, wherein the control device comprises an upper actuating element that is movable relative to a lower supporting mounting, a lower supporting mounting, a switch that is actuated by the upper actuating element, and an articulated structure that is interposed vertically between the upper actuating element and the lower mounting to keep the upper actuating element parallel to a horizontal plane during its vertical downward movement relative to a frame, and the at least one shaft. The method also comprises providing an adjustment stop fixed relative to the lower mounting and forming a stop surface that interacts with a facing portion of the shaft.

1. A method for adjustment of a control device for electronic equipment, comprising:
applying a preload simultaneously to a plurality of shafts of a control device so as to take up initial assembly play, wherein the control device comprises:
an upper actuating element having an upper actuating face, on which a user can exert at least one control action by applying a generally downwardly directed pressure to the upper actuating face,a lower supporting mounting, the upper actuating element being mounted so as to be movable relative to the lower supporting mounting by a vertical movement between an upper rest position, towards which the upper actuating element may be returned elastically, and an active lower position,a switch which is actuated by the upper actuating element when the upper actuating element is in the active lower position, andan articulated structure which is interposed vertically between the upper actuating element and the lower mounting to keep the upper actuating element parallel to a horizontal plane during its vertical downward movement relative to a frame, and the at least one shaft; providing an adjustment stop fixed relative to the lower mounting and forming a stop surface which interacts with a facing portion of the shaft by:
positioning a stop member relative to the lower mounting in such a way that a front end of the stop member is in contact with the facing portion of the at least one shaft;
immobilizing the stop member relative to the lower mounting; andremoving the preload.
