A keyboard assembly for a mobile device is provided that reduces the separation between keys by reducing the number of required dome switches. A reduction in the number of dome switches can alternatively reduce the amount of real estate taken up by dome switches on a printed circuit board (PCB). Fewer dome switches than keys are provided on a PCB to activate a desired functionality when a key is depressed. The dome switches are each actuatable by and disposed between more than one key, such keys preferably being adjacent keys. Each key has an actuator with at least one arm for actuating a dome switch in an actuated dome switch pattern when the key is depressed. Such a keyboard assembly can be used for any electronic device having a standard QWERTY or Dvorak keyboard layout, a standard telephone or numeric keypad layout, or any other layout of keys.

89 Thin keyboard switch US168989 1993-12-17 US5396038A 1995-03-07 Kazunori Yamada
A key stem of a keyboard switch includes an outer slide and an inner slide. When a key top is struck, the outer slide slides inside of an outer guide, and the inner slide slides inside an inner guide. A first moment point is developed between the outer slide and the outer guide, while a second moment point is developed between the inner slide and the inner guide. A taper at the bottom of the outer slide prevents the second moment point being developed in that location. The reduced horizontal distance between the two moment points helps prevent binding of the key when an actuating force is applied off the axis of the key top. A relationship is disclosed for avoiding sticking or binding in which the horizontal distance between the two moment points, times a coefficient of friction, is less than the vertical distance between the planes of the two moment points.

A binary code generator for generating a plural bit binary code from keyboard input data comprises a printed circuit including a plurality of conductive lead groupings arranged in registration with a plurality of pushbuttons on a keyboard frame. The circuit board includes a plurality of electrical terminals one of which is operatively electrically connected to a voltage source and the others of which are selectively operatively electrically connected to the lead patterns forming the conductive lead groupings in accordance with the binary code to be generated. Upon actuation of the pushbutton switch all of the lead patterns in the conductive lead grouping associated with that pushbutton are electrically connected together whereby selected ones of the output terminals are electrically connected to the voltage source thereby to produce a binary output code. The keyboard is formed of a single integral sheet of resilient material and includes a plurality of conductive resilient contacts normally spaced from the conductive lead groupings on the circuit board. In a preferred embodiment each of the lead patterns in a lead grouping comprises a plurality of radially extending branches and the contact member is formed with a contact surface in the form of a continuous generally circular rim adapted upon depression of its associated pushbutton to bridge a sufficient number of lead branches in the associated lead grouping to provide effective and reliable switching under all conditions. The contacts are electrically and structurally separated from each other by raised strips formed integral on the resilient keyboard sheet and secured by appropriate means to the circuit board, those strips being effective to reliably maintain independent actuation of individual pushbuttons.
