The use level is very high, and it has become a must-have item for people. The well-known computer, package: table type electric pickup and notebook type, the shirt needs to be equipped with a keyboard for character input and other operations. In a known technology, a keyboard is composed of a plurality of buttons. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional button. As shown in FIG. 1, the button 7 is mainly composed of . ^f, 1i (switch) 73 ^ -^^M (elasticdome) ^ scissor_shaped supporting member 77 and a keycap 79. . Further, the nutrient switch 73 is disposed on the substrate 71; and the elastic body 75 is "out of 73"; and the key cap 79 is disposed on the elastic body 75 75, and the key cap When pressed 79, it further presses the elastic body and the elastic body 75 thus triggers the switch 73. The secondary support member 77 has a -th joint member 771 and a 773 miL' and the first joint member 771 is pivoted The second connecting member 7 is connected to the substrate by the second connecting member 771 and the second connecting member 773, respectively. The first connecting member 771 and the second connecting member 773 are rounded 771a and a younger one. The cylinder 773a, and the keycap 79 and the 200847208 have a seat 791 and a seat 793. The structure 773 is connected to the _79, the Tiandi member 771 and the second connecting member 773 the second cylinder (four) Then 3 J9i t 'and the second seat 793. The method of the move is set in the key cap 79. In addition, when assembling the conventional technology, the clock 7 - a specific angle, so that the 791 of the two 'the, = 79 must be inclined to a cylinder 77la. Then, the cylindrical core of the pushing member 77i slides into the guide 791 key in the towel ^ The second cylinder, the second two-key pair 773a of the second connecting member 773 is engaged in the socket 793. The first cylinder is as described above, due to the conventional scissors type. The choice and loading time cannot be shortened. It is also easy for the inconvenience of the peach to make the group different because the components are usually combined in manufacturing and assembly (for example, the user pushes the keycap - the birth barrier) It is often slipped out of the opening of the keycap and out of the guide, so that the invention is provided with a button. In particular, the button of the present invention has a simpler structure than the mouse. Support member, thus reducing

A button according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate, a switch, a keycap, a plurality of support members, and an elastic member. The open relationship is fixed to the substrate. The keycap defines a surface, and the lower surface is convexly provided with a plurality of projections that are substantially perpendicular to the substrate. In addition, each of the projections defines a side 200847208 face' and a guide post is convex on the side. The support members respectively correspond to a projection & is a support portion perpendicular to the substrate. The 尨 child is narrated. When the Γ Γ ice is used to set the guide post and guide the guide post to the vertical key cap relative to the substrate, the current piece a is placed between the key cap and the close, when the a key towel is pressed, The elastic member can trigger the switch. According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a key button, a key holder of the right-hand chain Y, has a surface, and the lower surface has a convex shape and a groove for receiving the guide post. And guiding the guide post to the * in the new fiber of the US board, the elastic member can trigger the switch. Field [Embodiment] Specific ===Removal __The preferred embodiment of the invention of the county shows a specific solid view according to one of the present invention; the button of the second phase is along the switch 13 of the sectional view of the αο line, A three-dimensional view of the support member in one key map II and II m, I two. For example, the button 1 has a substrate 11, a 200847208 cap 15, four supporting members 17, and an elastic member 19. The switch 13 is fixed to the substrate η. The keycap 15 defines a surface 151, and the lower surface 151 is convexly provided with four projections 153 substantially perpendicular to the substrate u. Each of the projections (5) defines a side surface, and a guide boss 1531 is protruded from the side. Each of the support members 17 is disposed on the substrate n and corresponds to a protrusion 153. Each of the support members 17 has a support portion 171 substantially perpendicular to the substrate, and the support portion 171 has a giddle groove 1711 for receiving the guide post 1531 and guiding the guide post 1531. The vertical movement relative to the substrate 11 is relatively 10. The elastic member 19 is disposed between the keycap 15 and the switch 13. Therefore, when the key cap 15 is pressed, the switch 13 is triggered by the elastic member 19. Further, please refer to FIG. 5, which is a perspective view of a button according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the button i also has a substrate 11, a switch 13, a keycap 15, a support member 17, and an elastic member 19. Different from the specific embodiments described herein, the support members 17 in the present embodiment have three groups of protrusions 153. In the present embodiment, the lower surface of the keycap 15 is convexly provided with three projections 153 substantially perpendicular to the substrate 11. Each of the projections 153 is also defined as a side $ 1531 ' and the side surface 1531 is convexly provided with a guide post 153i. Each of the three support members u is disposed on the substrate u, corresponding to the convex portion 153, respectively. Each of the support members 17 has a support 171 substantially perpendicular to the substrate, and the support portion 171 has a guide groove 1711 for receiving the guide pin Mu and guiding the guide post 1531 to be opposite to the substrate η Move vertically. The elastic member 19 is disposed between the keycap 15 and the switch 13. Therefore, the elastic member 19 can trigger the switch 13 when the cap 15 is pressed. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the support portion of the support member of the present invention can be formed in 200847208 and is substantially perpendicular to the job board. _In this case, the support member is not necessarily manufactured separately, so the present day (4) is simple and simple, and the manufacturing time and cost are effectively saved. U冓 can be more careful, the above three protrusions and the corresponding three; the protrusions and the corresponding four support members are only 糸: The projections and supports of the present invention are only used too = The number of bulges and the corresponding number of support members can be determined by the demand and two weeks. In practical applications, for example, when the button of the present invention is a key, an enter key, a 酣 key, etc., the blank balance member 〇 = to the vertical movement of the wire d, the iifUi to the substrate. Please note that the balance member can also be used in other suitable buttons, not limited to the multiple buttons of the above example. In the actual financial situation, the support member can be made of polymer materials, for example, ΐ ΐ 'P〇ly Ethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (IV) Vinyl 〇rj e, PVC), polystyrene (p〇ly coffee, ps), etc.; or metal material example '^ not limited to '#吕, iron, town, etc. made. In addition, in actuality, it is said that the support member of the present invention has a relatively simple and firm structure compared to the support member of the prior art button. Between the inventions, it is also possible to prevent the parts from being damaged during assembly. However, the present invention reduces the frequency of key failures and avoids maintenance and disassembly. Further, since the support member of the present invention can be directly folded from the substrate The formation and thus the saving of the manufacturing cost and the time. It is intended that the features and spirit of the present invention 200847208 be more clearly described by the detailed description of the above embodiments, and not the specific embodiments disclosed herein. Limit the scope Conversely, the purpose is to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements within the scope of the patent application to which the present invention is intended. 200847208 [Simple Description of the Drawings] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional button. Figure 2 is a vertical diagram of a broken button of the present invention. The second button is shown in Figure 2.
