Abstract
A supporting structure for use in a keyswitch and the keyswitch are provided. The keyswitch comprises a keycap, a base and the supporting structure. The supporting structure comprises two supporting arms and two latch sets, wherein the two supporting arms intersect based on a virtual axis and are disposed between the keycap and the base. Each of the latch sets is correspondingly disposed on two opposite ends of each of the supporting arms. The two supporting arms are adapted to be detachably connected with each latch set and perform an arc motion with respect to the virtual axis, therefore, moving the keycap upwards and downwards above the base.
Claims18
A supporting structure for a keyswitch, the keyswitch comprising a keycap and a base, and the supporting structure comprising:
- two supporting arms, intersecting based on a virtual axis and being disposed between the keycap and the base, wherein the virtual axis is a co-axis of the two supporting arms;
- and
- two latch sets, disposed to two opposite ends of each of the supporting arms with the virtual axis as a center, wherein the supporting arms are detachably connected with each of the latch sets and perform an arc motion with respect to the virtual axis so that the keycap is adapted to be moved upward and downward above the base.
A keyswitch for a keyboard, comprising:
- a keycap;
- a base;
- and
- a supporting structure comprising:
- two supporting arms, intersecting based on a virtual axis and being disposed between the keycap and the base, wherein the virtual axis is a co-axis of the two supporting arms;
- and
- two latch sets, disposed to two opposite ends of each of the supporting arms with the virtual axis as a center, wherein the supporting arms are detachably connected with each of the latch sets and perform an arc motion with respect to the virtual axis so that the keycap is adapted to be moved upward and downward above the base.
