Keyboard switch assembly having multilayer printed circuit structure

In an ultrasonic remote control device with integrated switching networks formed in a multilayer printed circuit, a keyboard having a plurality of keys and mechanical switching means, the improvement of a keyboard switch assembly wherein a part of the conductor paths from the outlets and/or inlets of said integrated switching network is arranged in a cross connection matrix in said multilayer printed circuit, said printed circuit including the conductor paths and the contact places comprising an insulated material mounting plate on which first ones of the conductor paths and contact places are applied in the screen printing technique, a first insulating layer printed thereon, which has openings for the contact places and for the conductor paths at predetermined places, second ones of the conductor paths being printed, on the first insulating layer for contacting at determined openings the conductor paths of the lower layer, a second insulating layer provided on the first insulating layer and the second conductor paths and having at predetermined places openings for the contact places and that the mechanical switching arrangement is disposed upon the second insulating layer, wherein said mechanical switching means comprises a plurality of elongated flexible contact reeds mounted so as to be movable by said keys into contact with said printed circuit, and whereby at every intersection each of the two conductor paths can be simultaneously connected by said mechanical switching means to a common potential.
