Abstract
An electronic writing pen which induces electromagnetic signals in conductors which are disposed in a writing table and are connected to digitizer circuitry is disclosed. The pen has a writing cartridge which is movable within the pen housing and includes, in one embodiment, a thin, deformable, stainless steel dome switch element which functions as an electrical contact in a normally-open switch which is utilized to provide an electrical indication of the up/down status of the pen to the digitizer and tactile feel of change of pen position to the pen user. In another embodiment, the switch includes an insulating strip having a conductive layer thereon to provide status indication with low application of force to the pen and without tactile feel.
