  • Patent number: 8794854
    Abstract: The present invention provides a foldable keyboard comprising a plurality of sections, a flat cable electrically connected between the sections, and a folding component connected between the sections. The folding component comprises fixing parts corresponding to the sections, and a connecting part connected between the fixing parts. The sections are correspondingly fixed on the fixing parts of the folding component. The connecting part is located between the sections. The sections pivot about the connecting part therebetween for folding or unfolding the foldable keyboard. The present invention adopts a folding component to connect the sections of the keyboard for folding the sections of the keyboard thereby being portable. The folding component is easy to manufacture with low cost, effectively reduces the thickness of the keyboard and extends the service life of the keyboard.

  • Publication number: 20130334019
    Abstract: A key structure of a keyboard of the present invention includes a base board and a scissors structure mounted on the base board. The base board is provided with a groove, and a pair of clasps extends upwards from opposite two sides of the groove. The scissors structure includes a first frame and a second frame rotationally connected with the first frame. One end of the first frame is provided with a first rotation spindle, and the first rotation spindle is rotationally connected with the clasps and abuts against the edge of the groove opposite to the clasps. In the present invention, the first rotation spindle abuts against the edge of the groove, which is good for the first rotation spindle being mounted in position to the clasps while assembling the scissors structure, can avoid side slip, and makes the inner structure of the key more stable.
