  • Publication number: 20240373572
    Abstract: A locking mechanism for removably locking a first electrical component to a second electrical component includes a positioning post secured to the second electrical component, a frame for mounting the first electrical component, and a locking member movably connected with the frame. The positioning post has a head and a neck. The locking member has a snap fastening portion, a flexible portion and an unlocking operated portion. When the snap fastening portion contacts the head and is moved toward the neck, a lateral thrust force exerted by the head spreads the snap fastening portion and cause deformation of the flexible portion to store a biasing restoring force. When the snap fastening portion is aligned with the neck, the snap fastening portion is moved by the biasing restoring force to be snap fastened to the neck. The unlocking operated portion is operated to disengage the snap fastening portion from the neck.

  • Publication number: 20190148091
    Abstract: A luminous keyboard includes at least one key, a switch circuit board, a supporting plate, a backlight module, a reflecting plate and a light-sheltering plate. The backlight module emits a light beam. The backlight module is arranged between the reflecting plate and the light-sheltering plate. A periphery region of the reflecting plate and a periphery region of the light-sheltering plate are thermally laminated or laser welded to define a sealed structure. Since the periphery region of the backlight module is sealed by the sealed structure, the light beam is not leaked out through the periphery region of the backlight module. The space occupied by the sealed structure is not very large. Consequently, the volume of the luminous keyboard is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20190013160
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a keyboard, including a base plate, a connecting element, a keycap, and a hook. The connecting element is separately connected to the hook and the base plate. The hook is disposed on an inner surface of the keycap and is connected to a connecting shaft of the connecting element. The hook includes a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion. The first fixing portion is in contact with a first side of the connecting shaft, and the second fixing portion is in contact with a second side of the connecting shaft. The structure of the second fixing portion in the hook is stronger than the structure of the first fixing portion, so that when the connecting shaft is applied with a force to be out of the hook, the first fixing portion is applied with an interference force to be broken, thereby having a recognizing effect.

  • Patent number: 9941072
    Abstract: A keyboard device includes a key structure, a switch circuit board, a base plate, a soft covering element and a buffering pad. The key structure includes a keycap and a stabilizer bar. The stabilizer bar is connected with the keycap and the soft covering element. The soft covering element is disposed on the base plate. An accommodation space is defined by the soft covering element and the base plate collaboratively. The stabilizer bar is inserted into the accommodation space, so that the stabilizer bar is connected with the base plate. The buffering pad is disposed on the base plate and partially received within the accommodation space. The stabilizer bar and the base plate are made of metallic material.

  • Patent number: 7605762
    Abstract: An antenna has a ground plane, a radiating member, a signal-feeding member and two grounding supports. The radiating member is suspended over and separated from the ground plane and has two opposite non-radiating edges. Each non-radiating edge has a middle section. Each grounding support is connected perpendicularly to the middle section of one non-radiating edge of the radiating member and the ground plane. The grounding supports connected between the radiating member and the ground plane excellently improve the combination of the radiating member and the ground plane to prevent the antenna from inadvertently disassembling.
