  • Patent number: 11094479
    Abstract: A key structure includes a keycap, a pedestal and an elastic element. The keycap includes a main body and a coupling shaft. The pedestal includes a key slot. The key slot has an upper part and a lower part. The coupling shaft is penetrated through the upper part of the key slot and movable within the key slot upwardly or downwardly. The elastic element is installed in the lower part of the key slot. After an external force applied to the keycap is released, the elastic element is elastically restored, so that the keycap is returned to an original position. At the same time, the buffering elements in the key slot interfere with the coupling shaft. Consequently, an ascending speed of the keycap is reduced, and a click sound generated from the collision between keycap and the pedestal is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20210181861
    Abstract: A keyboard device includes a membrane circuit board and a key structure over the membrane circuit board. The key structure includes a keycap, a plunger structure, a key pedestal and an elastic element. The plunger structure is arranged between the keycap and the elastic element. At least a portion of the keycap is disposed within a pedestal dust-storage chamber of the key pedestal. At least a portion of the plunger structure is disposed within a guiding chamber of the key pedestal. Due to the relative location between the keycap, the plunger structure and the key pedestal, the path of the dust to enter the guiding chamber is extended or blocked. Consequently, the dust-proof efficacy is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 10903028
    Abstract: A rotary switch structure includes a sleeve, a seat body, an elastic ring, plural push elements and a fixing element. The seat body is accommodated within the sleeve. The elastic ring is disposed on the seat body. The plural push elements are disposed on the elastic ring, and provide a pushing force to the elastic ring. The fixing element is fixed in the sleeve and contacted with the plural push elements. The plural push elements are fixed on the elastic ring by the fixing element. The elastic ring absorbs the pushing force, so that a friction force between the at least one push element and the elastic ring is adjustable. Consequently, the rotating feel of the rotary switch structure is adjustable according to the practical requirements.
