Abstract
There is provided a keyboard cover including a first sheet material having a surface including a plurality of key tops configured of roughened surfaces and a base configured of a smooth surface connecting a plurality of the key tops, a plurality of the key tops being projected from the base viewed from the surface; and a second sheet material covering a rear surface of the first sheet material and having concave parts corresponding to a plurality of the key tops viewed from the rear surface. Also provided is an electronic apparatus, including a keyboard body and the keyboard cover.
Claims2
A keyboard cover, comprising:
- a first sheet material having a surface including a plurality of key tops configured of roughened convex surfaces and a base configured of a smooth surface connecting a plurality of the key tops, a plurality of the key tops being projected from the base viewed from the surface;
- and
- a second sheet of porous material covering a rear surface of the first sheet material and having concave parts corresponding to a plurality of the key tops viewed from the rear surface;
- wherein the first sheet material includes:
- a surface layer composed of a synthetic resin material forming the surface, and
- an intermediate layer disposed between the surface layer and the second sheet material and composed of a thermoplastic resin material;
- wherein a plurality of the key tops in the first sheet material includes at least one groove disposed along a diagonal line in a plane of the key tops.
