Description

Transparent keys with flexible arms

The present invention provides a light-transmitting button with an elastic support arm, especially a light-transmitting key with an elastic support arm that has better light transmittance and is more stable in use.

Press, the keyboard is a device in the form of a typewriter, which is composed of keys of different keyboard technologies and an electronic switch system. The main function is to input data and may be used in the computer system to operate other machines or devices. In the 1970s, typewriters and keyboards replaced the technology of punched cards and punched tapes as the main input and operation methods for computers. After the 1980s, the mouse was added. In general use, the keyboard is used for inputting text, and can input text, numbers, and symbols in application software such as word processing, web browser, or social media.

The main way to use the keyboard is to press each button to trigger the corresponding effect to generate a signal, and then achieve the function of inputting data. With the progress of the times, the technical improvement of the buttons is also becoming more and more diverse. In general keyboards, the rebound spring or elastic structure is placed in the center of the lower side of the key, so that the rebound effect can be more stable, but if this method is used, it is impossible to use the transparent key to produce various types light and shadow effects. Therefore, if the user is to be able to watch the screen on the lower side, the relevant spring and elastic structure will be placed on the side. However, this placement method often causes uneven rebound effects when the buttons are pressed, or Incomplete condition.

Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and deficiencies is the direction that the applicant of the present invention and the relevant manufacturers engaged in this industry want to study and improve urgently.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the applicant of this model has collected relevant information, evaluated and considered in many ways, and based on years of experience accumulated in this industry, through continuous trial and modification, he has designed this kind of pressure that is more stable and stable. A patentee for a new type of light-transmitting button with elastic arms with better light-transmitting effect.

The main purpose of the present invention is to achieve a more stable pressing action and light-transmitting effect by using the elastic support arm and the elastic conflicting member.

In order to achieve the above object, the main structure of the present invention includes: a support plate, a thin film circuit on the support plate, at least one perforation formed on the support plate, at least one display element located on the underside of the support plate, at least A light-transmitting key set on the support plate, at least one elastic support arm connected to the edge of the light-transmitting key, at least one top-pressing bump on the side of the light-transmitting key, and at least one top-pressing protrusion on the side of the light-transmitting key The elastic resisting part at the lower side of the block, wherein the elastic support arm includes a bent connecting section connected to the light-transmitting button, a vertical elastic section connected to the bent connecting section, and a plate end connecting section connected to the vertical elastic section.

With the above-mentioned structure, since the display part and the light-transmitting button are all arranged at the perforation of the support plate, and because the pressing bump and the elastic support arm are all arranged on the side of the light-transmitting button, it will not block the user's hand at all. Therefore, it can have a better light-transmitting viewing angle.

When the user presses the light-transmitting button, the pressing bump will be pushed to press the elastic resisting part and the elastic support arm will be pushed to deform at the same time, so that the elastic resisting part presses the film circuit to generate a corresponding signal. And because the elastic support arm will change the extension angle through the bending connection section, and is installed on the support plate through the plate end connection section, so when the elastic support arm is deformed, the vertical elastic section will be deformed, thereby accumulating The force of rebound is to cooperate with the elastic conflicting part to give the light-transmitting key a stable rebound force, and because it has the stabilizing effect of the elastic arm and the elastic conflicting part at the same time, it can make the light-transmitting key move straight up and down when pressed. To prevent the occurrence of deviation, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall pressing.

With the above-mentioned technology, a breakthrough can be made to solve the problem that the conventional light-transmitting key is relatively unstable when pressed, so as to achieve the practical progress of the above-mentioned advantages.
