A magnetically detented keyboard structure includes a baseplate (1) which may be formed of plastics material or steel, or other material as desired. Steel offers the advantage of electromagnetic radiation shielding, electrical grounding pos- sibilities and high structural integrity, but moulded and/or plated plastics material can offer much the same, with the exception of the same high physical strength. A number of individual locator posts (2) (of which only one appears in the figure) are formed integrally with the baseplate (1) by slitting and stamping in the case of a steel or metallic plate, or by moulding in the case of plastic. The posts (2) are spaced at regular intervals correlated with the desired keybutton spacings and positions in the assembled keyboard.

A circuitboard (3) of insulating material such as an epoxy laminate, sheet polyamide or the like, has apertures (4), preferably die cut therein to facilitate registering the circuit card (3) precisely over the locator posts (2) on the baseplate (1). Circuitry (12) in the desired artwork pattern is formed using well known techniques on the surface of the circuitboard (3). A contact (11) which may be spherical as shown, or hemispherical or any other generally convex domed shape, is attached to the circuitry (12) as a contact. Two of these contacts (11) are used for each key actuator position, but only one is shown in the figure, the other lying directly behind it.

An operator control device for controlling systems in a motor vehicle by inputs by a user includes a touch-sensitive operator control panel on which it is possible to represent two surface shapes which may be changed into one another alternately, with the first surface shape being structured so as to be capable of being sensed in a tactile fashion so that it may be used to select zones on the operator control panel in order to select menu items. The individual selectable zones may be configured differently in shape, extent and their position on the operator control panel, and the second surface shape is smoothed in comparison with the first shape so that hand-written and graphic inputs are possible with it.

PURPOSE: To recognize a switch position by sense of touch by providing a return stopping structure to give an operator a tactile feedback. CONSTITUTION: When an actuator 16 moves to a second position, a tip of a finger 16c moves along on a top surface of a spring 40 to bend a middle part of the spring 40 as a bow shape orienting downward. The spring 40 engages with a top surface of a protrusion 34a, presses the protrusion 34a to conductive parts 28d, 28e to make an electric current conductive (switch) bridge between them. The spring 40 applies a return bias to the actuator 16 so as to prevent it from shifting from the center. After the finger 16c is engaged with the spring 40, the rubber protrusion 34a prevents the motion of the actuator 16. A force of spring 40 continues to increase until a button 22 reaches to its stroke half time. When a process of the actuator 16 reaches to the point wherein making switch is promoted, a resisting force is decreased.

35 Keyswitch with adjustable tactile feedback and switch thereof US15636651 2017-06-29 US10079601B2 2018-09-18 Chia-Hung Liu
A keyswitch includes a base having a pillar, a cap having a rib and movable relative to the base, a sleeve rotatably sleeving the pillar and having first and second top surfaces and convex and concave portions, an elastic member abutting against the sleeve and the base, and a resilient arm abutting against a first or second position on the convex portion with rotation of the sleeve. When the resilient arm abuts against the first position, the rib abuts against the first top surface to prepress the elastic member for generating a first preload. When the cap is pressed for moving the sleeve downward, the resilient arm moves from the first or second position to the concave portion. When the resilient arm abuts against the second position, the rib abuts against the second top surface to prepress the elastic member for generating a second preload larger than the first preload.
36 KEYSWITCH WITH ADJUSTABLE TACTILE FEEDBACK US15697438 2017-09-06 US20180074587A1 2018-03-15 Chia-Hung Liu
A keyswitch includes a cap, internal and external sleeves, a resilient arm, a base having a pillar, and an elastic member abutting against the internal sleeve and the base. The internal sleeve jackets the pillar, abuts against the cap and has a first outer annular surface with a transverse slot. The external sleeve jackets the internal sleeve and has a protruding block movably inserted into the transverse slot for guiding the external sleeve to rotate and a second outer annular surface having concave and convex portions and an arc-shaped bar. When the resilient arm abuts against a second position on the convex portion and the cap presses the external sleeve, the resilient arm crosses the arc-shaped bar. When the resilient arm abuts against a first position on the convex portion and the cap presses the external sleeve, the resilient arm does not need to cross the arc-shaped bar.

A keyswitch uses a combination of springs connected in serial for providing a return force to a keycap of the keyswitch. When the keycap moves toward a base of the keyswitch beyond a transition position, one of the springs stops continuously deforming. It leads to an increment of the elastic coefficient of the combination of springs and an increment of the elastic stored energy by the combination of springs. Therefore, during a pressing on the keycap, the keycap can provide a light force feedback and then a heavy force feedback to a user. Further, the keyswitch can use a switch with a lateral motion, which can reduce influence of a resilient force produced by the switch on the up and down movement of the keycap. The keyswitch also can use an elastic piece disposed beside the keycap, which can provide a tactile feedback to the user.

The low travel dome may also comprise a group of elongated protrusions. Each of the group of elongated protrusions may extend from one of the top portion, or one of the group of arms. At least one of the group of elongated protrusions may extend into the tuning member.

A keyboard is provided with a base member, moving members provided on the base member and unit parts. Each of the unit parts includes a contact which is electrically connected when depressed and an elastic member. The moving members include a first moving member which engages with one unit part, and a second moving member which engages with plural unit parts. The second moving member has a structure where the second moving member pushes the elastic member of one unit part and avoids pushing the elastic member of the other unit part.
