Abstract:
According to various embodiments, an electronic device comprises a key button that can be assembled to keep the key button in place in the housing of the electronic device and functional without having to completely assemble the housing of the electronic device.
Abstract:
A keyboard device is disclosed, which includes an upper housing, a conductive membrane, a key top including a bottom surface and an actuator disposed on the bottom surface, a lower housing and a soft elastic element located on the conductive membrane, wherein the actuator penetrates the upper housing, and the soft elastic element has an engaging part to engage with the key top such that the key top is prevented from being separated from the soft elastic element when the key top rebounds.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a support member, an ornamental member that is assembled to face one face of the support member, and an operating member that is disposed on the support member to be partially exposed to the outside through the ornamental member. The operating member includes a body that is positioned on one face of the support member to be exposed through the ornamental member, and at least one pair of fastening pieces, each of which extends from the body to be fastened to the support member. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A cam-action anti-rolling mechanism for buttons is described herein. One embodiment may take the form of a button having a body with a slot extending therethrough. The slot has a normal orientation to a direction of motion for the button. The button also includes a cam bar having a first portion extending through the slot and a second portion offset from and parallel to the first portion. The cam bar is coupled in a slip fit manner within the slot to the body and the second portion provides a rotational axis for the cam bar. A fixture coupled to the second portion of the cam bar is provided to allow for rotation of the cam bar.
Abstract:
A switch device includes a lid arranged between a tactile switch, which is arranged on a substrate, and an operation button, which is coupled to a retainer so that the operation button can be pushed. The lid includes an opening at a location corresponding to the tactile switch. A lower surface of the elastic member is coupled to a surface of the lid. The operation button, when pushed, activates the tactile switch with an elastic member. The operation body, when released from the pushed state, deactivates the tactile switch as a reaction force of the elastic member returns the operation button to an initial position. The switch device includes a projection that supports the operation button. The projection is formed on an upper surface of the elastic member at a location corresponding to the surface of the lid.
Abstract:
A pressure and rotationally actuated control element for a vehicle steering wheel includes a bearing block and an input element. The bearing block is mounted on actuating elements of switching elements. The input element is mounted rotatably on the bearing block. The input element transmits a rotational actuation to a code disk and an actuating pressure on the input element actuates at least one of the switching elements. The bearing block forms two swivel pins perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the input element and which are supported by the actuating elements of switching elements. The bearing block has a stop element between the swivel pins which limits the path of actuation of the input element by an actuating pressure.
Abstract:
A switch apparatus adapted to be assembled with a casing of an electronic product, the switch apparatus includes a control device having a base portion, a position portion, at least a pressing portion, and a linking portion having one end connected to the casing. A resilient element is installed in the control device, and has a fixing portion fixed into the position portion, and at least a deforming portion and a contact portion. At least a triggering device is electrically connected with the printed circuit board. When the control device is being pressed with a first force, the triggering device is being pushed downwards by the contact portion, while the control device is being pressed with a second force larger than the first force, the at least a deforming portion deforms, and the contact portion continuing pressing against the triggering device.
Abstract:
An operation device comprises: a plurality of operation members attached to a common supporting member; and a plurality of inserting components having the same configurations with one another. The operation members include latching apertures for securing the inserting components to the operation members and include a plurality of kinds of structure to be attached to the common supporting member so that opening directions of the latching apertures are different from one another. The inserting components include a plurality of latching projections that protrude outward from a main body, and have configurations that can engage the latching apertures in any one of the operation members. The latching projections protrude from the main body in a plurality of directions corresponding to the opening directions of the latching apertures so that any one of the latching projections can engage the latching aperture in any one of the operation members.
