Abstract

A compliant grommet-based suspension system is disclosed for use in mounting an electronic touch screen or touch surface. The grommets may be designed to provide more or less movement in any direction, i.e., along the x-axis, the y-axis, and/or the z-axis, depending on the suspension application in which they are implemented.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 315,383, filed March 18, 2010, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to touch screens and other touch surfaces, and more particularly, the present invention relates to tactile touch screens and touch surfaces mounted to haptic devices via a compliant suspension. Background technique [0004] A new generation of consumer devices increasingly relies on touchscreen input, such as through virtual buttons and scroll bars displayed on the touchscreen instead of physical input. Users use these devices almost exclusively with their fingers by touching and / or otherwise manipulating virtual buttons, scroll bars, scroll wheels, etc. on the screen. For these operations, graphics are displayed on the screen to provide visual feedback. Some newer touchscreen devices can also ...
