Mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired ( 1 ) comprising retractable push-buttons ( 2 ) at least one button body ( 4 ) which enable the push-button to be placed on the socket ( 3 ) and making a linear movement towards the inside-outside of the device when the push-buttons are pressed; and at least one lock system which is located on the button body and which enables the button body to be locked in upper and lower positions; when the button body is locked in the upper position, the push-button becomes an open button; when the button body is locked in the lower position, the push-button becomes a closed button.
1. A mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired comprising:
a plurality of retractable push-buttons, wherein the plurality of retractable push-buttons are provided in blocks consisting of a plurality of elements arranged in a rectangular arrangement comprising a plurality of columns, and the plurality of elements are in the form of a hemisphere, a cube, or a rectangular prism;
a plurality of sockets for enabling the plurality of retractable push-buttons to be placed thereon, in an arrangement that a socket in the plurality of sockets corresponds to a retractable push-button in the plurality of push-buttons;
at least one button is placed on the socket and the at least one button makes a linear movement within the socket when pressed;
at least one lock system located on the button and the at least one lock system enables the button body to be locked in an upper and a lower position;
wherein each button is corresponding to a dot and different symbols are indicated according to the number and position of the dots;
wherein the retractable push-buttons are arranged in equal spaces to each other.
2. The mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired of claim 1 , wherein the push-button comes to an open or a closed position when the button body moves downwards or upwards by means of a vertical force applied on the button body.
3. The mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired of claim 1 , wherein the push-button is produced by using at least one material from the group of resilient and bendable bamboo, leather, metal and plastic materials or a combination of at least two materials from the group.
4. The mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired of claim 1 , wherein the open button is formed when the button body that is connected to the push-button stretches into released state when a vertical force is applied to the closed button.
5. The mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired of claim 4 , wherein the closed button which is formed when the button body that is connected to the button contracts into compressed state when a vertical force is applied to the open button.
6. The mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired of claim 1 , wherein the retractable push-buttons are configured to obtain embossments of geometric figures on the device by applying force on the closed buttons by means of a pen or a rod; and to obtain mathematical symbols and numbers by applying vertical force on the closed buttons.
7. The mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired of claim 1 , wherein one or more buttons selected from the buttons provided in the mechanism enable control of all or some of the other buttons provided in the mechanism.
8. A mathematics and geometry device for visually impaired comprising:
a plurality of retractable push-buttons, wherein the plurality of retractable push-buttons are provided in blocks consisting of a plurality of elements arranged in a rectangular arrangement comprising a plurality of columns, and are in the form of a hemisphere, a cube, or a rectangular prism;
at least one socket which enables the plurality of retractable push-buttons to be placed thereon;
at least one button body placed on the socket and the at least one button body makes a linear movement towards the inside—outside of the socket when pressed;
at least one lock system located on the button body and the at least one lock system enables the button body to be locked in upper and lower positions; when the button body is locked in the upper position, the push-button becomes an open button; when the button body is locked in the lower position, the push-button becomes a closed button;
an electronic program for recording and saving information printed by the retractable push-buttons in a memory;
wherein the electronic program records and saves each operation step in the memory; and
the electronic program is configured to display the information on a display screen wherein one or more buttons selected from the buttons provided in the mechanism enable control of all or some of the other buttons provided in the mechanism.
