  • Patent number: 11093009
    Abstract: A touch module includes a touchpad assembly and a connection assembly. The connection assembly includes a main body, plural first coupling plates and plural protrusion posts. When the connection assembly is accommodated within a computer casing, the plural first coupling plates are penetrated through plural first openings of the computer casing and the plural protrusion posts are inserted into the corresponding fixing structures. The plural protrusion posts and the corresponding fixing structures are collaboratively formed as a hinge structure. While the touchpad assembly is pressed down, the connection assembly is swung relative to the computer casing by using the plural protrusion posts as the pivotal shafts, so that the touchpad assembly is correspondingly swung. Due to the hinge structure, the touchpad assembly is swung along a fixed direction. Consequently, the touch module is operated stably.

  • Patent number: 10921865
    Abstract: A touchpad module includes a touch member, a base plate, a switch, a supporting structure and a sheet-like elastic element. The base plate includes a triggering part. The switch is disposed on the touch member and aligned with the triggering part. The supporting structure is arranged between the base plate and the touch member. The sheet-like elastic element is located under the touch member and extended along an extension direction. The sheet-like elastic element includes plural vacant spaces. The plural vacant spaces are discretely arranged along the extension direction. The sheet-like elastic element is divided into a swinging structure and plural fixing structures by the plural vacant spaces. In response to an external force, the touch member is swung toward the base plate by using the supporting structure as a fulcrum, and the swinging structure is swung toward the base plate.

  • Patent number: 10824252
    Abstract: A touchpad module for an electronic device is provided. The touchpad module includes a fixing frame, a touch member, a switch member and an adjusting element. The touch member is installed within an opening of the fixing frame. The switch member is installed on the touch member. The switch member includes a first magnetic element. The adjusting element is accommodated within an adjusting hole of the fixing frame. The adjusting element includes a second magnetic element corresponding to the first magnetic element. Moreover, like poles of the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element face each other. Consequently, a travelling distance of the touch member is adjusted according to a repulsive force between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element.

  • Patent number: 10809838
    Abstract: The present invention provides a touch pad module applicable to an electronic apparatus, including: a support frame, a touch pad, an elastomer structure, and a baseplate. The touch pad is movably configured in a first opening of the support frame; the elastomer structure is fixed on a lower surface of the touch pad and covers a press switch of the touch pad; and the baseplate is fixed on a lower surface of the support frame and provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the elastomer structure. A bottom surface of the limiting groove is provided with an adjustment hole, and a relative position of an adjustment member to an elastic member of the elastomer structure may be adjusted by using the adjustment hole.

  • Patent number: 10725567
    Abstract: A touchpad module includes a bracket member, a touch member, a supporting element and two elastic elements. The touch member is arranged between a first strip part and a second strip part of the bracket member. The supporting element is arranged between the elastic elements and the touch member. Each elastic element includes a swinging part, a fixing part and a shaft part. The fixing parts are installed on the first strip part and the second strip part, respectively. The swinging part and the fixing part are wider than the shaft portion. In response to an external force, the touch member is swung relative to the bracket member by using the shaft parts as fulcrums. While the touch member is swung, the shaft parts are subjected to deformation and the supporting element and the swinging parts are swung relative to the fixing parts.
