Abstract
A button apparatus for an electronic component (10) having a button (16) includes a computer bezel (20) and a pressing member (30) pivotally attached to the computer bezel for pressing the button of the electronic component. The computer bezel includes a front panel (22) and a flange (24) extending from a side of the front panel, an opening (221) is defined in the front panel. The pressing member includes a pressing portion (32) received in the opening for pushing the button and a resilient piece (34) abutting against the flange for urging the pressing portion to pivotally rebound to an original state from a deformed state at which the pressing portion pushes the button.
Claims19
A button apparatus for an electronic component having a button, comprising:
- a computer bezel configured for covering one side of the electronic component where the button locates, the computer bezel comprising a front panel with an opening defined in and a flange extending from a side of the front panel;
- and
- a pressing member pivotally attached to the computer bezel, the pressing member having an original state and a deformed state at which the pressing member pushes the button, the pressing member comprising a pressing portion received in the opening for pushing the button and a resilient piece abutting against the flange for urging the pressing portion to pivotally rebound and the pressing member to come back to the original state from the deformed state.
A computer system, comprising:
- a computer bezel having a front panel;
- an electronic component having a button, the electronic component fixed behind the front panel of the computer bezel;
- and
- a pressing member pivotally attached to the front panel of the computer bezel, the pressing member comprising a pressing portion and a resilient piece extending from the pressing portion;
- wherein the pressing portion and the resilient piece form an angle which is diminished when the pressing portion is pressed to push the button, and is increased when the pressing portion is released and rebounding.
A computer system, comprising:
- an electronic component having a button;
- a computer bezel covering one side of the electronic component at which the button is located;
- and
- a unitary pressing member pivotally attached to an inner side of the computer bezel, the pressing member comprising a pressing portion configured for pushing the button of the electronic component when pressed to a deformed position, and a resilient portion abutting the computer bezel and configured for actuating the pressing portion to rebound to an original state from the deformed state.
