Abstract
A key structure includes a keycap, a guiding structure, a connection member and a base plate. The guiding structure is located below the keycap and includes at least one pivot shaft. The connection member includes a connection groove, and the at least one pivot shaft is connected to the connection groove. The base plate includes at least one fixing member. The connection member envelops the at least one fixing member such that the connection member is fixed to the base plate.
Claims4
A key structure, comprising:
- a keycap;
- a guiding structure, connected to the keycap, the guiding structure comprising at least one pivot shaft;
- a connection member, comprising a connection groove, wherein the at least one pivot shaft is connected to the connection groove;
- and
- a base plate, comprising two fixing members and a first through hole, wherein the connection member envelops the two fixing members such that the connection member is fixed to the base plate, wherein the two fixing members appear L-shaped, the fixing members comprise a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the first connecting portions of the two adjacent fixing members are provided at the first through hole, and the second connecting portions of the two adjacent fixing members are provided in an extended arrangement along a same direction.

A key structure, comprising:
- a keycap;
- a guiding structure, connected to the keycap, the guiding structure comprising at least one pivot shaft;
- a connection member, comprising a connection groove and a plurality of connection bodies, wherein the at least one pivot shaft is connected to the connection groove and the connection groove situated between the plurality of connection bodies;
- and
- a base plate, comprising a plurality of fixing member, wherein each of the connection bodies envelops at least one of the plurality of fixing member such that the connection member is fixed to the base plat, wherein the base plate has a surface and a first through hole, at least one of the fixing members is provided on the surface, and the surface has a plurality of texture patterns and the connection member directly contacts with the plurality of texture patterns when a size of a bottom surface of the connector members is larger than a size of the first through hole to accordingly increase friction between the surface and the connection member.
