Abstract

A button includes a display element including a mounting section, a hollowed bottom board having a joint section, support frame members having an interconnection driving section, a button cap body having a light-transmitting section and a contacting section, and an elastic element. The support frame members and the elastic element are arranged on the contacting section located outside the button cap body to that a user is allowed to see, by way of the light-transmitting section of the button cap body, through the hollowed bottom board to the display element at the bottom so as to completely observe a text/pattern section of the display element. In a pressing-down operation, the interconnection driving section makes the support frame members to operate with leverage for causing the elastic element to drive the display element. Further, individual button modularization can be achieved with the arrangement of the mounting section and the joint section.

Dependent claims

A support frame structure of a see-through button, comprising:

a display element, which displays at least one text/pattern section;
a plurality of mounting sections formed on at least one side of the display element;
at least one hollowed bottom board arranged above the display element and having a hollowed portion that completely exposes the text/pattern section;
a plurality of joint sections formed on one side of the hollowed bottom board to correspondingly engage with and couple to the mounting sections;
a plurality of support frame members rotatably mounted on an outer side of the hollowed bottom board;
at least one interconnection driving section formed on ends of the support frame members to couple and drive the support frame members with each other in a synchronously rotatable manner;
at least one button cap body rotatably mounted to one side of the support frame members that is opposite to the hollowed bottom board, wherein the button cap body comprises a light-transmitting section located exactly above the hollowed portion of the hollowed bottom board for observation of the display element by seeing therethrough and at least one contacting section formed on an outer side of the light-transmitting section;
and
at least one elastic element mounted on the hollowed bottom board for selectively contacting with the contacting section to drive the display element.
