Abstract:
A key able to accept a label for a keypad used in controlling electrically operated devices, wherein the key structure accepts and secures an interchangeable label, and which forms an impermeable barrier to the electrical contacts of a programmable circuit board.

Claim (Index 1):
A programmable control panel for combustion engines or electrical equipment, comprising:\n a circuit board having a plurality of tactile switch elements, wherein each tactile switch element is programmable to carry out a respective function upon actuation, and is configured to return to a respective original position upon release; a keypad having a membrane and a plurality of keys integral with the membrane, wherein each key has a respective main piece on one side of the membrane and a respective switch actuating piece on an opposite side of the membrane, wherein for each key, the switch actuating piece contacts and actuates a respective one of the tactile switch elements upon depression of the key and each key returns to a non-depressed shape upon release of the key, and whereby actuation of the tactile switch elements by the keys and/or release of the tactile switch elements from the keys provides feedback to the operator via the keys; and a plurality of replaceable and interchangeable label components, the label components removably mountable to the main pieces of keys to convey the function of the underlying tactile switch of each respective key to the operator.
