An operator is prevented from slipping out when it is pulled, and an operating apparatus equipped with such an operator can be realized at lower production cost. A hole is formed in the operator. A member to be operated is formed with a pawl such that when the operator is pushed down onto the member, the pawl is engaged with the hole. The operator is thereby firmly coupled with the member. Under this arrangement, if the operator is pulled, the member is also moved integrally with the operator. Moreover, the operating apparatus further includes a case comprising a hole. Thus, the pawl is further prevented from slipping out of the hole because any outward bending of the pawl caused by the pulling is restricted due to a peripheral part of the hole of the case.

A keyswitch including a lever mounting plate with which the bottom ends of a pair of levers can engage, and an actuator with which the top ends of the pair of levers can engage. The lever mounting plate is mounted to a holding plate, and is placed on a membrane switch. The actuator is mounted to the keytop. The lever mounting plate and the actuator each include a rotation engaging section and a slide engaging section. The rotation engaging section has an open portion and allows a rotating pin of one of lever members to rotatably engage therewith. The slide engaging section has an open portion, and allows a slide pin of the other lever member to engage therewith. The open portion of the rotation engaging section and that of the slide engaging section open in the same direction so that the pair of lever members can be mounted to the lever mounting plate and to the actuator by only moving the pair of lever members from one side to the other.

A collapsible key structure for a depression key structure includes a pair of scissors type linkage for supporting the depression key structure. At least one scissors type linkage has a first lever pivotally engaged with a second lever. The first lever has a top end pivotally engaged with depression key structure and a bottom end rotatably and slidably engaged with a base plate. The second lever has a top end rotatably and slidably engaged with the depression key structure and a bottom end forming a rotatable-and-slidable constraint means with the base plate. The rotatable-and-slidable constraint means includes a bordering rail mounted on the base plate, in which the bordering rail has a first and a second sliding surfaces for a first and a second engaging pins at a bottom end of the second lever to slide along, respectively. By providing the present invention, the depression key structure may be moved steadily up or down without drifting sideward. Also, assembly and disassembly of the collapsible key structure can be performed simpler and without much deforming the first and the second levers.

A press button type safety switch is constructed to include a switching mechanism, a seesaw plank controlled by a press button assembly to switch on/off the switching mechanism, two spring members supporting the press button assembly in the upper limit (off) position, two locating rods horizontally aligned at two sides of the press button assembly, and two hooks upwardly extended from the seesaw plank and adapted to hook the locating rods of the press button assembly and to hold the press button assembly in a lower position spaced below the upper limit (off) position when the switching mechanism switched on, the hooks being disengaged from the press button assembly for enabling the press button assembly to be moved upwards to the upper limit position when the switching mechanism switched off or the safety switch automatically tripped off upon an overcurrent.

A key switch includes a keycap, an upper cover, a lower cover, a connecting device and a heat dissipating device. The upper cover is disposed under the keycap. The lower cover is disposed under the upper cover. The connecting device is connected between the keycap and the upper cover for moveably connecting the keycap above the upper cover. The heat dissipating device includes a container and a piston. A sidewall of the container includes at least a first opening and at least a second opening formed between the upper cover and the lower cover for dissipating heat between the upper cover and the lower cover.
摘要:
A keyswitch structure with a keycap having a balance lever is disclosed. A balance lever is pivotally installed within a keycap of a key switch. The balance lever is formed with two hooks. The balance lever is slidably matched to slots in a key seat. At least one block element (having a shape like a rib) is installed within the keycap. As the balance lever is not installed in the slots, the block element will generate a force to support and stop the balance lever so that the keycap of the key seat can not be assembled in the key seat normally and thus, it is failed in testing. Therefore, bad products can be found in the testing process. In the present invention, since a dull-proof structure is added to the balance lever of a key switch, it will prevent from unbalance due to the ineffectiveness of the balance lever as that in the prior art.

A cup-shaped elastic member 2 forces push button 1 upwardly that has indication part 1A formed thereon. Light transmitting electrode layer 15B, light-emitting layer 15C, and back electrode layer 15E are sequentially formed on light transmitting sheet 15A to form EL element 15, and the EL element is disposed on the upper or lower face of membrane switch 6. This structure can provide an inexpensive illuminated keyboard switch that allows clear illumination of the push button and uses a smaller number of components.

A switch button is coupled to a supporting member through a hinge. The switch button and the hinge are integrally molded using a synthetic resin or an elastomer, or a synthetic resin and a synthetic rubber, respectively. In this way, the switch button can be readily pressed and comfortably manipulated.

A key switch apparatus is provided. The key switch apparatus includes a key base, a key cap, and a collapsible linking assembly extending between the key cap and the key base. The linking assembly is reconfigurable between extended and collapsed positions for displaceably supporting the key cap relative to the key base. The linking assembly includes pivotally coupled first and second linking members. The first linking member is provided with a flexible member that is resiliently biased to bulge transversely outward toward the key cap when the linking assembly is disposed in the extended position. The second linking member is formed with a press member that maintains contact with the flexible member, such that it transversely deflects the flexible member inward toward the key base responsive to the application of a pressing force upon the key cap. The second linking member is biased by the flexible member to restore the linking assembly to its extended position upon removal of the pressing force from the key cap.

Various embodiment of control panel assembly and method are provided. In one representative embodiment a control panel assembly includes a key cap that is disposed between a bezel and an electrical circuit. The key cap buckles when it undergoes a compression between the bezel and the electrical circuit.
