Abstract
A key button mechanism mounted to a housing of an electronic device, comprises a key body and an actuator. The key body is mounted to the housing, the key body has a contacting portion protruding therefrom. The actuator has a resisting portion and a driving portion protruding from an end of the resisting portion. The actuator is rotatably mounted to the housing and the resisting portion is aligned with the contacting portion such that when the key body is operated, the contacting portion pushes the resisting portion to make the driving portion touch the printed circuit board.
Claims18
A key button mechanism for use in an electronic device, the electronic device including a housing and a printed circuit board, the key button mechanism comprising:
- a key body adapted for being mounted to the housing, the key body having a contacting portion protruding therefrom;
- and
- an actuator having a resisting portion and a driving portion protruding from an end of the resisting portion, the actuator rotatably mounted to the housing and the resisting portion aligned with the contacting portion so when the key body is pressed <?>, the contacting portion pushes the resisting portion to make the driving portion touch the printed circuit board.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a printed circuit board having a switch mounted thereon;
- and
- a key button mechanism comprising:
- a key body mounted to the housing, the key body having a contacting portion protruding therefrom;
- and
- an actuator having a resisting portion and a driving portion protruding from one end of the resisting portion, the actuator being rotatably mounted to the housing and the resisting portion being aligned with the contacting portion so when the key body is, the contacting portion pushes the resisting portion to make the driving portion touch the switch.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a printed circuit board having at least one switch mounted thereon;
- and
- a key button mechanism comprising:
- a key body mounted to the housing, the key body having at least one contacting portion protruding therefrom, the at least one actuator mounted to the housing between the key body and at least one switch, each actuator having a resisting portion, a driving portion protruding from one end of the resisting portion, and a retaining portion protruding from another end of the resisting portion;
- wherein each resisting portion is respectively aligned with a contacting portion, each retaining portion rotatably mounted to the housing, one side of each driving portion resists against the housing to prevent each actuator and the housing from separation, another side of each driving portion faces the switch on the printed circuit board.
