Benefits of technology

[0006]The operating arrangement according to the invention has the advantage that the somewhat annoying removal and re-insertion of the operating stick is no longer necessary so that the operation of the apparatus is simplified since the operator only needs to grasp the cleaning pad which preferably is attached to the apparatus via a cord and which is easier to grasp than the small operating stick normally provided and to contact with tip formed thereon the desired switching area of the screen of the apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

Since the operating stick is a loose part however, it is easily lost for example, in that it may drop to the ground or it is left somewhere after use.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The FIGS. 1a and 1b show a cleaning pad with an integrated operating tip according to the invention in a top view (FIG. 1a) and in a side view (FIG. 1b). It comprises a carrier element 1 preferably of a rigid plastic material in the form of a plate with a planar or slightly curved shape on one side of which a fleece pad 2 is disposed preferably cemented to the carrier element 1. The carrier element 1, which in accordance with the FIG. 1 has an oval base shape, is provided at one end of the oval with an ear 3 to which a cord 5 is connected for attachment to an ear of a schematically shown smart phone or another similar apparatus. At the opposite end of the oval, the carrier element 1 is provided with a tip so that the cleaning pad can be used as operating stick for operating the apparatus.

[0014]The FIGS. 2 and 3 show schematically and only in an exemplary form further embodiments of cleaning pads 1, 2 with operating tips 4 in the shape of an equal-sided triangle (FIG. 2) wherei...

Abstract

In a cleaning pad for a small apparatus such as a smart phone or a minicomputer including a touch screen for its operation, the cleaning pad comprises a carrier element of a rigid material provided with a pad of fleece or similar soft material for cleaning the touch screen and the carrier element is provided with an operating tip for touching the touch screen for operating the small apparatus.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a cleaning pad for display screens of small electronic devices combined with a tip for operating small devices such as smart phones, minicomputers, so-called PDA's and similar apparatus for the interactive communication of the user with the apparatus by way of the display screens.[0002]Smart phones, PDA's and similar apparatus are operated by the user by touching switching areas of the display screen wherein, because of the small size of the apparatus and its display screen and, consequently, of the switching area, a thin pointed operating stick is used. Generally, the operating stick can be inserted on the side of the apparatus and again retrieved for use. Since the operating stick is a loose part however, it is easily lost for example, in that it may drop to the ground or it is left somewhere after use.[0003]On the other hand, a more-or-less needed accessory of such an apparatus is a cleaning pad for cleaning the display sc...
