102 High voltage resisting keyboard US10857967 2004-06-02 US20050271442A1 2005-12-08 David Ho; Tony Tsai; Tao Xia; Zhi-Zhong Hong
The present invention discloses a high voltage resisting keyboard comprising at least one press key on a casing, a circuit board inside the casing, and a metal dome between the press keys and the circuit board inside the casing, wherein the edge of the metal hemisphere of the metal dome is directly connected to an end of an electrode of the circuit board, and the other end of the electrode is connected to an end of a resistor. Thus, when the edge of the metal hemisphere receives the high voltage current, the keyboard is protected by the resistor to avoid the high voltage current from being sent directly to another end of the resistor that is connected to another electronic component to achieve the purpose of protecting another electronic component.

112 Keyboard arrangement and method for identifying a pressed key US943375 1997-10-03 US5877709A 1999-03-02 Timo Ala-Lehtimaki; Paavo Niemitalo
In a keyboard arrangement and method for identifying a pressed key according to the present invention, conductor lines (4', 6') at each key (B), which may be connected together, are connected to a ground plane (24, 23, 27) as a response to a pressing (P) of a key. The pressed key (B) is identified by detecting the conductor lines that are connected to the ground plane. All the conductor lines may be connected as pulled-up inputs of a detector circuit, and any conductor line or combination of conductor lines may be used to identify a key. A noticeably greater number of keys may be simply identified with the same number of conductor lines than is possible in a solution according to the prior art. In an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the means for connecting the conductor lines (4', 5', 6', 7') to the ground plane (27) is a conductive plate (23), which essentially covers the whole keyboard. This also provides a good shield against electrostatic discharges and other interference.

In addition, an elastic spring member may be provided in a position covering the elastic conductive member. A plurality of the push switches may easily be manufactured on an assembly line by forming a multiplicity of central contacts, peripheral contacts and conductive members in separate processes and sequentially going through a first and second insert molding processes.
115 Transparent touch panel switch US57274 1987-06-01 US4786767A 1988-11-22 Bruce Kuhlman
An improved transparent touch panel membrane switch for use and shielding in front of a visual display terminal is disclosed. The switch is made up of a plurality of plastic sheets arrayed substantially parallel to one another in a sandwich configuration. The outermost of the sheets has an antireflective hardcoat. Two adjacent but spaced apart inner sheets provide the electrical contact through transparent low reflectance conductive metal coatings. The switch additionally contains a further inner antireflective transparent electrically conductive coating which provides shielding against the passage of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference through the membrane switch. The layers in this switch all contribute to a relatively low transmittance of back lighting from the visual display terminal but also significantly reduce reflectance such that the overall signal-to-noise ratio is substantially enhanced.
116 Keyboard with metal cover and improved switches US879284 1986-06-27 US4771139A 1988-09-13 Gregory L. DeSmet
An improved keyboard is provided with a flexible metal cover, normally closed switches, and multiple throw switches. The metal cover is made flexible in the area of each key or switch by the provision of grooves in the metal surrounding each flexible portion. The normally closed and multiple throw switches include pellets which transmit the actuating force on a key or switch through a substrate on which a switch is mounted. The device may be configured in such a way that the pellet will push the normally closed contacts of a switch out of contact, or the pellet or pellets may mechanically link a stacked set of switches in order to provided ganged, multiple throw operation.
117 Magnetically snap actuated contact keyboard apparatus US693638 1985-01-22 US4689608A 1987-08-25 Frank J. Bolda; John P. McKnight; Russell J. Sturm
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the snap actuator is an angled magnetically permeable plate. One leg of the angled plate is attracted to a strip magnet placed on a circuitboard. This particular portion of the plate also has two spring fingers that make contact with spherical or domed contacts on the circuitboard or, in the alternative, have formed dome portions in the end of each finger for contacting flat contacts on the circuitboard so that a wiping action that is resistant to contamination results. The other leg of the angled plate serves as a lever arm to which key button pressure is applied. The angle between the plates or the edge of the strip magnet serves as a fulcrum for pivoting the plate under the influence of key pressure. When key pressure has built up sufficiently, the magnetic attraction is substantially broken and the angled plate is suddenly released, thereby breaking contact with the circuit contacts and allowing the circuit voltage to be sensed.

The resistive grid area is formed by a pattern of resistive inking on a base and is separated from the conductive layer by a foamed thermoplastic insulating separator. High resistance bands surround the grid area so as to linearize its output values.
