  • Publication number: 20200373097
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a key module including a bottom plate, a keycap and a scissor structure. The keycap is located above the bottom plate. The key cap includes a pivoting member protruding from the bottom surface and a sliding member. The pivoting member has a pivot hole and a hollowed-out area communicating with the pivot hole. The scissor structure is disposed between the bottom plate and the keycap, and includes a first leg and a second leg pivotally connected to each other, the first side of the first leg and the second side of the second leg are connected to the bottom plate, the third side of the first leg is rotatably connected to the pivoting member of the keycap, and the fourth side of the second leg is slidably connected to the sliding member of the keycap.

  • Publication number: 20200373098
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a key structure including a base plate, a keycap, and a compressible supporting mechanism. The keycap is disposed above the base plate. The keycap has a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to each other and includes a bonding member protruding from the base surface. The bonding member has a groove and a guiding surface. The compressible supporting mechanism is disposed between the base plate and the keycap. The compressible supporting mechanism is assembled into the groove as being guided by the guiding surface. In the key structure provided by the disclosure, since the compressible supporting mechanism is guided by the guiding surface, interference generated when the compressible supporting mechanism and the keycap are assembled may be reduced, so that the bonding member is prevented from being damaged or collapsing when being pressed in a process of assembling.

  • Publication number: 20200343055
    Abstract: Provided is a key structure including a base plate having at least one connecting seat and at least one notch adjacent to a lower portion of the connecting seat; a keycap disposed above the base plate in a liftable manner; a thin film circuit assembly disposed on the base plate and located between the base plate and the keycap; and a supporting rod connected to the keycap and the base plate and located between the thin film circuit assembly and the keycap. An accommodating space formed by the notch extends from and communicates with a through hole of the connecting seat. The connecting seat protrudes out from an opening of the thin film circuit assembly. A vertical projection region of the notch on the base plate is located within a vertical projection region of the opening on the base plate. The invention also provides a keyboard module.

  • Publication number: 20030077416
    Abstract: A patio tabletop glass with broken protection includes a tempered glass layer wherein a central hole is formed in the tempered glass layer; a protection layer which has a shape and width size identical to that of the tempered glass layer being integrally attached on a top surface of the tempered glass layer and having a center hole formed therein, wherein the center hole of the protection layer has an identical diameter of the central hole of the tempered glass layer and is coaxially aligned with the central hole of the tempered glass layer; and an adhesive layer which is evenly applied between the top surface of the tempered glass layer and a bottom surface of the protection layer so as to integrally adhere the protection layer with the tempered glass layer to form an one piece body, wherein a tension of a periphery portion of the protection layer is increased to form a protective edge of the center hole, which is made to extend around the central hole of the tempered glass layer and to ensure the periphery

  • Patent number: 6503357
    Abstract: A manufacturing process of a patio tabletop glass with broken protection includes the steps of fully cleaning at least a top surface of a tempered glass layer which has a central hole thereon, drying the cleaned tempered glass layer, heating the entire tempered glass layer to a temperature between 45° C. to 65° C.; evenly applying a layer of acrylic adhesive on the top surface of the tempered glass layer which temperature is maintained between 45° C. to 65° C. to form the adhesive layer; attaching the protection layer on the tempered glass layer, cutting excessive edges of the protection layer to a size identical to the tempered glass layer; and forming a center hole on the protection layer, which coaxially aligns with the central hole of the tempered glass layer. Accordingly, even when the patio table top is broken into pieces and particles, the broken glass pieces and particles will not be breaking apart and remain attaching to a protection layer.
