Patent number: 7815381Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a computer keyboard having user-manipulable components for multi-media applications and additional computer interface and control purposes that are desirably designed for ease of manufacturing and cost effectiveness. A preformed roller module has a small top cover and base forming an enclosure to hold the entire roller mechanism, including the electronic components. The roller module is then attached to the keyboard. A volume control dial is provided for audio volume control. The dial desirably is also preformed and then attached to the keyboard. Keyboard feet may be provided on the rear edge of the keyboard for tilting the keyboard without taking up space at the bottom of the keyboard, so that the keyboard height profile can be kept low. An opaque keyboard frame may be placed over the key mechanisms of the keys to hide them from sight, and a translucent top case may be placed over the opaque keyboard frame.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2006Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Patrick Monney, Alain Tabasso, Antoine Merminod, Keith Tritschler

Patent number: 7567432Abstract: A full-size keyboard with an integrated laptop stand. In one embodiment, the laptop stand is part of a cover for a portable keyboard, with the cover unfolding and including a pop-up stand for supporting a portable computer. The stand is thus connected to the keyboard rather than being a separate article. The cover includes electronics, such as a USB hub and ports, an MP3 player docking station, speakers, etc. A flexible hinge connects the keyboard and cover, with imbedded electrical flex connectors. A presence sensor, such as a PIR sensor, shuts off battery use by these electronics when the user is not around.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2008Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Alain Tabasso, Patrick Monney, Alexis Richard, Diarmuid Macmahon, Peter Sheehan, Keith Tritschler, Brian Stephens, Linus Chien

Patent number: 6284978Abstract: A keyboard includes a Universal Serial Bus hub having at least one downstream port each for connecting with a connector coupled to a cable of a downstream system peripheral device. The keyboard includes a cable receiving channel for receiving at least a portion of the cable of the downstream system peripheral device. The cable receiving channel is an open channel disposed in the bottom surface of the keyboard. The cable receiving channel has sufficient length and depth for receiving a substantial portion of the cable. The cable receiving channel includes a plurality of paths of varying lengths selectable for receiving different lengths of the cable into the channel to adjust the cable slack. The cable can be stacked to overlap in portions of the channel to increase the amount of the cable received in the channel and to reduce the cable slack.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1999Date of Patent: September 4, 2001Assignee: Logitech, Inc.Inventors: Denis Pavillard, Sergio Lazzarotto, Keith Tritschler
