Abstract
Description
- The present invention is related to a handheld controller, especially a configuration that provides buffering protection.
- Current handheld controllers use plastic material to make the touch buttons on the main unit. However, under a long period of pressing time, the rigid plastic material around the button makes the user feel discomfort due to an opposite force. Usually this results in ache, blistering, callus, or finger deformation, as the worst. Besides, because the handheld part of the main unit is made of injection molded ABS or rigid plastics, the user feels discomfort at the holding hands. Therefore, the comfortability of current handheld controller needs to be improved.
- The inventor realized the need of an improved handheld controller in comfortability and invented a buffering protective handheld controller.
- The main objective of the invention is to provide a handheld controller that provides buffering protection. Mainly, it provides a buffering protective configuration for direction button and a number of functional buttons on one side of the main unit. The user is allowed to have greater touch area and more comfortability when pressing the button. Especially, under a long period of button-pressing time, the user has finger contact with surrounding buffering devices to reduce pressure. Therefore, the invention can provide fatigue reduction, blistering prevention and benefits like finger protection from callus and deformation.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a buffering protective handheld controller which main unit has the handheld base in a hollow shape and enclosed by a sticking soft pad with a proper size. Thus, it can provide a cushion air-bag effect to fit the user's palm in any shape and any size. Particularly, because the user can hold the unit with a firm grasp by fingers, the grasping force is significantly minimized during use. The invention further provides the handheld controller with the most grasping comfort.

-
- Please refer to Figure 1. The buffering protective handheld controller in the present invention is mainly to provide a buffering protective configuration for
direction button 2 and a number offunctional buttons 3 on one side of themain unit 1. - As shown in Figure 2, the surface of the
directional buttons 2 is covered by anelastic ring 22, which is a layer of softprotective pad 23. Further, the bottom of theelastic ring 22 is held by a number ofbuffering devices 24. Thebuffering devices 24 can be flexible rubber, spring... etc. to reduce holding pressure (a spring in the Figure). A number of moldedaxles 25 at the bottom connect with anelastic pad 26. Thus, theelastic ring 22 is allowed to move around the top of aslot 27 and avoids jumping off themain unit 1. - When the user presses the
directional button 2 for direction control, the user can acquire better comfortability by direct hand pressing on theprotective pad 21 that covers thedirectional buttons 2. Especially, before the user's hand presses thedirectional buttons 2 to the bottom, it feels the touch on theprotective pad 23 on theelastic ring 22 around thedirectional buttons 2. This not only provides a greater touch area but also pressure reduction by a multiple sets ofbuffering devices 24 at the bottom of theelastic ring 22 and cushion action on a number ofaxles 25 andwashers 26. In this way, the user is under a multiple protection from top to bottom, which includes theprotective pad 21 on top of thedirectional button 2, theelastic ring 22 moving around in the middle to reduce pressure, and bottom cushion composed ofbuffering devices 24,axles 25 andwashers 26. Such a handheld controller not only has the most comfortability but also reduced holding pressure. Furthermore, the invention can provide fatigue reduction, blistering prevention and benefits like finger protection from callus and deformation. - As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, the multiple number of
functional buttons 3 have a buffering device, which can be an elastic silicone bushing 31 (as shown in Figure 3). On the top of thebushing 31, a through-hole 311 of a height h is to incorporate thefunctional button 3. By increasing the through-hole height, we can increase the pressure reduction for thefunctional button 3. Or the buffering device can be a hollow silicone elastic pin 32 (as shown in Figure 4), which connects to the bottom offunctional buttons 3 against thebushing 31. Theelastic pin 32 enhances the pressure reduction for thefunctional buttons 3. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, around thefunctional buttons 3, there areelastic rings 33 that surface is covered by softprotective pad 34. Theelastic ring 33 is held by a multiple number ofbuffering devices 35, which can be soft rubber, spring...etc. to alleviate the pressure (spring in the Figure). A multiple sets of moldedaxles 36 at its bottom all connect to aelastic washer 37 and are covered by aspring 39, so theelastic ring 33 can float around the top of theslot 38 and avoid jumping off themain unit 1. - When the user presses the
functional button 3, the buffering device at the bottom of thefunctional button 3 can provide comfort operatibility by reducing the pressure on user's hands. Besides, when the user's hand presses thefunctional button 3 to the bottom, the touch action is on theprotective pad 34 of the top of theelastic ring 33 around thefunctional button 3. It not only enlarges the touch area but also reduces pressure by the multiple number ofbuffering devices 35 at the bottom of theelastic ring 33 and the pressure reduction mechanism through a number ofaxles 36 andwashers 37. In this way, the user is under a multiple protection from top to bottom, which includes the buffering device at the bottom of thefunctional button 3, theelastic ring 33 moving around in the middle to reduce pressure, and bottom cushion composed ofbuffering devices 35,axles 36 andwashers 37. The invention that reduces the button holding pressure can provide fatigue reduction, blistering prevention and benefits like finger protection from callus and deformation. - Further, as in Figure 6 and Figure 7, the handheld portion of the
base 11 of themain unit 1 in the invention is in a proper design of ahollow hole 111, which may be enclosed by a stickingsoft pad 112 with a proper size. Thus, it can provide a cushion air-bag function to fit the user's palm in any shape and any size. Particularly, because the user can hold the unit with a firm grasp by fingers, the grasping force is greatly minimized during use. Such a handheld controller not only has the most comfortability but also reduced holding pressure. - To summarize on the above description, the buffering protective handheld controller provided in the present invention is mainly an unit with a buffering protective configuration for direction button and a number of functional buttons on one side of the main unit. Thus, the user is allowed to have greater touch area and more comfortability when pressing the button. In addition, under a long period of button-pressing time, the user has finger contact with surrounding buffering devices to reduce pressure. Further, the handheld main unit has the rigid plastic base in an appropriate hollow shape, which may be enclosed by a sticking soft pad with a proper size. Thus, it can provide a cushion air-bag function and fits the user's palm in any shape and any size. Particularly, because the user can hold the unit with a firm grasp by fingers, the grasping force is minimized during use. Such a handheld controller not only has the most comfortability but also reduced holding pressure. Therefore, the invention can provide fatigue reduction, blistering prevention and benefits like finger protection from callus and deformation. This invention is considered to have great industrial applicability and progressiveness.
