| 121 | Elevatable key switch and keyboard with the same | US10407400 | 2003-04-04 | US20030188960A1 | 2003-10-09 | Chien-Shih Hsu |
| An elevatable key switch and a keyboard with the elevatable key switch are provided. The elevatable key switch includes a base, a cap, an up-down mechanism, an elastic member, a movable element, and a driving element. The cap is disposed above the base. The up-down mechanism, which is disposed between the base and the cap, supports the cap to perform vertical movement relative to the base. The elastic member is disposed on the base, and the movable element is movably disposed on the elastic member. The driving element drives the movable element to make substantial horizontal movement, so that the movable element selectively moves between a first position and a second position. When the movable element is in the first position, the movable element supports the up-down mechanism in an operation configuration. When the movable element is in the second position, the movable element releases the up-down mechanism entering a contraction configuration. | ||||||
| 122 | Keyboard unit having pop-up key-tops and electronic apparatus incorporating the keyboard unit | US09791786 | 2001-02-26 | US20010033269A1 | 2001-10-25 | Ryo Hosoya |

The switch has a number of movable contacts arranged corresponding to the key-tops, and a number of stationary contacts opposed to the respective movable contacts. The key-tops are supported above the keyboard base by respective key-top support mechanisms such that they can move vertically. Each of the key-top support mechanisms includes first and second link levers pivotably connected to each other. The first link lever is made of a metal and has an elastically deformable pressing section that is formed integral therewith as one body. A number of elastically deformable load receiving sections are interposed between the respective pressing sections and the respective movable contacts. | ||||||
| 123 | Keyboard in stationary vehicle control units | US09284500 | 1999-05-28 | US06181022B2 | 2001-01-30 | Alf Johansson; Gunnar Lejonberg |
| A keyboard means in stationary control units (23) in a vehicle. The keys (24) thereof are arranged at an outer edge portion of the unit (23), which has the shape of a thin plate (23), which may be embraced in a pinching movement, preferably a pinching movement between the thumb and some finger. The keys may thus be pressed down from one side of the edge portion while supporting it from the opposite side by another finger. This results in very limited free forces against the unit during operation. | ||||||

| 126 | Keyboard using pressurized fluid to generate key stroke characteristics | US769796 | 1996-12-19 | US5742242A | 1998-04-21 | Charles A. Sellers |
| A notebook computer is provided with a collapsible keyboard structure in which, during operation of the computer, the keys are held in extended operating positions by the force of a pressurized fluid-filled flexible mat member having spaced apart orificed compartments against which bottom ends of vertically movable plunger portions of the keys downwardly bear. Position sensors monitor the stroke positions of the keys and, as the keys are depressed during computer use, responsively transmit corresponding position signals to a control system which utilizes the position signals to alter the fluid pressure within the mat member in a manner providing the keys with predetermined, selectively variable stroke force/distance characteristics. When the computer is turned off, fluid pressure within the mat member is relieved in a manner permitting the keys to collapse to retracted storage/transport orientations, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the keyboard until subsequent operation of the computer. | ||||||
| 127 | Reduced height keyboard structure for a notebook computer | US541460 | 1995-10-10 | US5625532A | 1997-04-29 | Charles A. Sellers |
| A notebook computer is provided with a reduced height keyboard structure mounted on the top side of its base housing and including a horizontally oriented signal pad structure. Spaced apart separate key support and guide structures are individually supported on the top side of the signal pad structure beneath upwardly dished keys mounted thereon by scissored linkage mechanisms which permit the keys to be vertically moved through a stroke distance between upwardly extended and downwardly retracted positions. The keys are upwardly biased toward their extended positions by resilient key return dome members secured to the top side of the signal pad structure and extending upwardly through openings in the key support and guide structures. The keys and their associated key support and guide structures are relatively configured in a manner such that when a given key is downwardly moved to its retracted position its associated key support and guide structure is received in the upwardly dished interior of the key so that the bottom side edge periphery of the key is moved downwardly past the horizontal side edge periphery of the key support and guide structure and into close adjacency with the top side of the signal pad structure. This telescoping of the key support and guide structure and its associated key permits the vertical thickness of the keyboard to be reduced without reducing the key stroke distance. | ||||||
| 128 | Collapsible computer keyboard structure with associated collapsible pointing stick | US658001 | 1996-06-04 | US5621610A | 1997-04-15 | Paul M. Moore; Charles Sellers |
| A notebook computer is provided with a collapsible keyboard structure in which, in response to closing of the computer housing lid, the key return spring portions of the keyboard are shifted away from their normal underlying relationships with the keys and the keys are forcibly retracted to a storage/transport orientation in which the overall thickness of the keyboard structure is reduced by an amount essentially equal to the stroke distance of the keys. When the lid is subsequently opened, the key return spring portions are shifted back to their normal underlying relationships with the keys, and the keys are forced outwardly by the return spring portions to their extended, operative orientations above the return spring portions. Incorporated into the collapsible keyboard structure is a cursor position control pointing stick device that is automatically retracted to a collapsed orientation in response to a corresponding collapsing of the keys, and automatically extended back to a use orientation in response to a corresponding return of the keys to their extended use orientations. | ||||||
| 129 | Collapsible notebook computer keyboard structure with resiliently deflectable key cap skirts | US503869 | 1995-07-18 | US5590020A | 1996-12-31 | Charles A. Sellers |
| A notebook computer is provided with a collapsible keyboard structure in which, in response to closing of the computer housing lid, the key return spring portions of the keyboard are shifted horizontally away from their normal underlying relationships with the keys and the keys are forcibly retracted downwardly to a storage/transport orientation in which the overall vertical thickness of the keyboard structure is reduced by an amount somewhat greater than the stroke distance of the keys. Each key has a relatively rigid top side portion with a periphery around which is secured a downwardly and horizontally outwardly sloped resilient skirt structure. In response to the forcible downward movement of the keys to their retracted positions the skirt structures are pressed and vertically compressed against a bottom side portion of the monoblock member that operatively carries the keys, thereby reducing the vertical height of the keyboard by more than the normal stroke distance of the keys when the computer is in its closed storage and transport orientation. When the lid is subsequently opened, the key return spring portions are upwardly shifted back to their normal underlying relationships with the keys, and the keys are forced upwardly by the return spring portions to their extended, operative orientations above the return spring portions. | ||||||
| 130 | Collapsible keyboard structure for a notebook computer, responsive to opening and closing of the computer's lid | US268818 | 1994-06-30 | US5532904A | 1996-07-02 | Charles A. Sellers |
| A notebook computer is provided with a collapsible keyboard structure having keys supported on scissored linkage arm assemblies in which, in response to closing of the computer housing lid, key return spring portions of the keyboard are shifted away from their normal underlying relationships with the keys, and the scissored linkage arm assemblies and keys are forcibly retracted to a storage/transport orientation in which the overall thickness of the keyboard structure is reduced by an amount essentially equal to the stroke distance of the keys. When the lid is subsequently opened, the key return spring portions are shifted back to their normal underlying relationships with the keys, and the keys and scissored linkage arm assemblies are forced outwardly by the return spring portions to their extended, operative orientations above the return spring portions. | ||||||
| 131 | Compact notebook computer having a foldable and collapsible keyboard structure | US268853 | 1994-06-30 | US5519569A | 1996-05-21 | Charles A. Sellers |
| A compact notebook computer, when opened, exposes a keyboard structure in a folded storage and transport orientation in which opposite end segments of the keyboard are inwardly pivoted onto a central segment of the keyboard, and the keys are in fully retracted, inoperative positions. To use the keyboard its end segments are outwardly pivoted to a use orientation in which they project outwardly beyond opposite ends of the computer base housing and are vertically aligned with the central keyboard segment. A top side portion of the keyboard structure is then horizontally shifted in a first direction relative to a base portion thereof. Via an interaction between cammed portions of scissored linkage arm assemblies that movably support the keys, and resilient key return members adjacent thereto, this shifting automatically raises the keyboard keys to fully extended operative positions thereof, thereby readying the keyboard for typing thereon. To return the keyboard structure to its storage and transport orientation, the top keyboard side portion is horizontally shifted relative to the base portion in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Via an interaction between the scissored linkage arm assemblies, and drive projections formed on the keyboard structure base portion, this shifting automatically retracts the keys to their original inoperative positions. The opposite keyboard end segments are then folded inwardly onto the central segment to permit the computer lid housing to be closed again. | ||||||

| 140 | SWITCH DEVICE | EP04720986.1 | 2004-03-16 | EP1622180B1 | 2007-01-24 | UEHIRA, Kiyotaka |
| A switch device is arranged such that the intermediate portion of a shape memory alloy wire (17) is held by a drive body (9) connected to one end of a link mechanism (4), and the opposite ends of the shape memory alloy wire (17) are fixedly held by a printed board (13). The opposite ends of the shape memory alloy wire (17) are fixed on the printed board (13), and the shape memory alloy wire (17) is heated by power supplied from a circuit, so that it is deformed by shape memory effect, thereby actuating the drive body (9). At that time, since the electric connection is fixed, there is no possibility of damage due to fatigue even when repetitive operations are frequently performed, thus improving reliability. Further, separate parts such as electric wires become unnecessary, contributing to simplicity, and the process for attaching electric wires also becomes unnecessary, making it possible to provide an inexpensive switch device. | ||||||
