Battery powered keypad assembly

A battery powered control device configured to be mounted on a vertical surface, comprising:

• a front housing cover comprising:
• a vertical wall comprising a first opening,
• a peripheral wall traversely extending from a periphery and a rear surface of the vertical wall to a terminal end, and
• a bezel frame traversely extending from a front surface of the vertical wall and comprising a front bezel wall surrounded by a peripheral bezel wall traversely extending from the first opening to the front bezel wall, the front bezel wall comprises a second opening aligned with and smaller than the first opening;
• a button assembly comprising:
• two parallel longitudinal portions interconnected via at least one lateral portion, and
• at least one button comprising a free unconnected end and an attached end connected to the at least one lateral portion,
• wherein the button assembly is located within the bezel frame with the at least one button protruding through the second opening in the bezel frame, wherein front surfaces of the longitudinal portions of the button assembly abut an inner surface of the front bezel wall of the bezel frame;
• a circuit board located within the bezel frame behind the button assembly, wherein rear surfaces of the longitudinal portions of the button assembly abut a front surface of the circuit board along its outer edges, wherein the at least one button comprises an abutment extending from its rear surface and configured for depressing a tactile switch located on a front surface of the circuit board;
• and
• a rear housing plate mounted within the front housing cover such that a periphery of the rear housing plate fits within and is surrounded by the peripheral wall of the front housing cover and a rear surface of the rear housing plate is substantially flush with the terminal end of the peripheral wall of the front housing cover, wherein the rear housing plate comprises a platform wall transversely extending from a front surface of the housing plate into the bezel frame, wherein the platform wall abuts a rear surface of the circuit board.

A battery powered control device configured to be mounted on a vertical surface, comprising:

• a front housing cover comprising:
• a vertical wall comprising a first opening,
• a peripheral wall traversely extending from a periphery and a rear surface of the vertical wall to a terminal end,
• a bezel frame traversely extending from the first opening at a front surface of the vertical wall and comprising a second opening aligned with and smaller than the first opening, and
• a battery receiving channel located on one side of the bezel frame and configured for guiding a battery through a battery receiving opening in the front housing cover and into a battery compartment within the battery powered control device;
• a button assembly comprising at least one button, wherein the button assembly is located within the bezel frame with the at least one button protruding through the second opening in the bezel frame;
• a circuit board located within the bezel frame behind the button assembly;
• and
• a rear housing plate mounted within the front housing cover such that a periphery of the rear housing plate fits within and is surrounded by the peripheral wall of the front housing cover, wherein the rear housing plate comprises a platform wall transversely extending from a front surface of the housing plate into the bezel frame, wherein the platform wall abuts a rear surface of the circuit board substantially along its periphery and at a distance from the rear housing plate forming a space between the circuit board and the rear housing plate, wherein the battery compartment is located within the space formed by the platform wall, wherein the platform wall comprises a side opening configured for permitting the insertion of the battery into the battery compartment.
