Abstract
A button mechanism is provided, including a frame, a motor disposed on the frame, a rotary member connected to the motor, a protrusion disposed on the rotary member, and a movable member hinged to the frame. When the movable member moves relative to the frame in the first direction, the protrusion contacts the movable member, and the rotary member is driven by the motor to rotate, whereby the movable member is pushed back by the protrusion so that it moves in the second direction, which is the opposite of the first direction.

A button mechanism, comprising:
- a frame;
- a motor, disposed on the frame;
- a rotary member, connected to the motor;
- a protrusion, including a universal ball roller disposed on a main surface of the rotary member;
- and
- a movable member, hinged to the frame and having a contact surface;
- wherein when the movable member moves relative to the frame from an initial position in a first direction to a triggering position, the protrusion contacts the contact surface of the movable member, and the rotary member is driven by the motor to rotate, whereby the protrusion pushes the movable member by in a second direction, and the second direction is the opposite of the first direction.
