21 | Normally-closed switching means with over-stroke compensation | US272678 | 1981-06-11 | US4386245A | 1983-05-31 | Koichi Nimura; Tadao Nakamura |
A normally-closed switch in which a movable contact member is normally held in contact with a fixed contact member by spring-load of a plate spring member. When an operating member is pressingly operated, the plate spring member is resiliently displaced into a position where the plate spring member comes in contact with a stopper member. The movable contact member is thus separated from the fixed contact member. When the operating member is pressed further, the plate spring member is not displaced, but a resilient member is compressingly deformed, thereby compensating for the over-stroke of the operating member. | ||||||

23 | Keyboard having multi-axis balance touch keys | US12588976 | 2009-11-04 | US20110102323A1 | 2011-05-05 | Tonny Chen |
A keyboard having multi-axis balance touch keys and particularly a keyboard equipped with touch keys aims to provide steady depressing operation. Each touch key includes a depressible plate, a contact switch, a base and a plurality of balance elements. The balance elements are arranged in two different axial directions and latched respectively on first retaining elements located on the depressible plate and second retaining elements located on the base. The first and second retaining elements have respectively at least one horizontal slot to allow the balance elements to slide therein parallel with the depressible plate. Thus downward depressing forces can be evenly distributed and a steady depressing movement is achieved wherever the touch keys is depressed. Swaying of the touch keys can be prevented and correct output signals can be delivered from the keyboard. | ||||||
24 | Touch control click structure | US11976446 | 2007-10-24 | US20100253635A1 | 2010-10-07 | Stephen Chen |
A touch control click structure includes at least an action board swayable up and down, a click switch and a touch panel. The action board has an axle mechanism at one end that is fastened to a chassis in an integrated manner, an extension zone in a middle portion and a click zone at another end that is swayable. The click switch aims to control input movements and is located below the action board. The touch panel is located above the click zone. The extension zone is formed at a desired length such that any position of the click zone can get a depressing pressure approximate to each other when depressed. Therefore the click zone can be swayed steadily up and down. The touch panel also provides position detecting function such that different output signals are generated when different positions are depressed | ||||||

A keypad is disclosed which has a plurality of keys (12) for the input of information. Each key has a first switch (80) and a second switch (90). The first switches (80) are all connected to a common electrical interconnection (120) and the second switches (90) are connected into a matrix electrical interconnection (62, 100). The microprocessor (66) detects a global signal on the common interconnection (120) and supplies scan signals to the matrix interconnection (62, 100) to enable detection of a particular key. The processor (66) may also selectively change the state of lines (62, 100) of the matrix and also maintain particular lines in a predetermined state by open drain ports of the processor to which the lines of the matrix are connected. | ||||||

Outer ends of link members supported to a case and having their inner ends coupled to each other are coupled to a slider. A membrane sheet and a pusher are disposed one after the other on the slider, and a knob having molded therewith a surface sheet is fixed to the slider. On a bottom plate are mounted a tactile push-button switch and a light source. No matter which press area is depressed, the slider is uniformly translated by the link mechanism to actuate the push-button switch. The link mechanism, the slider, the membrane sheet except conductor portions, and the pusher are formed of a light transmitting material. | ||||||

29 | Panel switch | US404879 | 1989-09-08 | US4977298A | 1990-12-11 | Terumi Fujiyama |
A panel switch according to the present invention has a switching unit comprising a plurality of switches which are not provided with individual click means and at least one click mechanism for the switching unit. Because the switching unit does not incorporate individual click mechanisms, the panel switch can be formed into a small size. In addition, by the integration of the provided click mechanism, the degree of freedom on the design of the panel switch is enlarged, and a small-sized panel switch which is excellent in switching feeling can be offered. | ||||||

An input device (1) including a planar input unit (4) which is a pressure-sensitive-type or a capacitance-type unit, with an indicator sheet (7) which has input sections (8) being secured to the surface of the planar input unit. An operation feel generating unit (6) is provided at the back side of the planar input unit. The operation feel generating unit includes dome-shaped inversion plates (10) that are separately provided at locations corresponding to the input sections. When an input section is pressed, an operation signal in accordance with what is indicted at the pressed input section is generated in order for an operator to feel the operation that he/she carried out as a result of the pressing reaction force of the inversion plate. The device has two modes of operation: key input mode and coordinate input mode. |
