More Details
Mounting
The pre drilled holes in the flanged base are compatible with mounting plates on some commercially available mounts eg. the Slim Armstrong Mounting Arm.
Materials/colours
Jelly Bean switches are made of durable, shatterproof plastic.
Colours in blue, pink, red, purple, yellow, black and green.
Accessories
Jelly Bean Holders
If multiple Jelly Bean Switches are to be used (2 to 4) it is possible to purchase a light weight, anodised aluminium frame which can secure either 2 or 4 switches in place.
The switches are positioned in a line with only the activating surface visible.
The Jelly Bean Holder can be attached to a flat surface with Velcro.
No tools are required for assembly of the holders.
UltraStik Adhesive Pads
These are non slip pads made from durable sticky adhesive.
The pads are designed to be placed under the base of the Jelly Bean Switch to increase stability on a flat surface where other mounting is not available.
Snap Switch Caps
The Snap Switch Caps are clear rigid plastic caps that snap onto the surface of the Jelly Bean Switch.
The caps are designed to hold pictures or symbols in place on top of the switch.
Method Of Use
The Jelly Bean Switch can be activated using fingers, arm, leg or other body movements. The switch can be positioned out of line of vision, as the loud click feedback will alert the user that the switch has been activated.
More pressure (approximately double) is required when pressing at the centre of the upper activating surface than at the side edges. This may make the switch difficult to activate for users with limited movement range or strength.
The smooth edges on the activating surface reduces the risk of skin damage on activation.
The Jelly Bean switch should be secured to a stable surface with, for example, velcro, to aid switch stability during activation.
The bright colours make the Jelly Bean Switch easy to use for choice selection.
