Abstract
A cross type supporter mounting system for a notebook computer keyboard comprises: a first platform for placing a computer keyboard and movable along an approximate horizontal direction; a second platform movable along a vertical direction and being positioned above the first platform; and a press plate installed between the first platform and the second platform. Thereby, by the pressure of the machining table with the operation of a press plate having a special pattern and cylinders, the last two steps in the assembling process is automatized. Therefore, the labor in the assembling process is reduced. Yield ratio is increased and the cost is decreased.
Claims8
A method for mounting a cross type supporter for a notebook computer keyboard comprising the steps of:
- (1) at first, crossing a first supporter and a second supporter;
- (2) then, placing a pivotal shaft of a first supporter into a through hole;
- (3) then, placing a semi-product from steps (2) on a first platform, moving the first platform and a computer keyboard to be mounted to a predetermined position by a feeding cylinder;
- (4) next, driving the second platform and the press plate so that the press plate presses the computer keyboard to be mounted and pushing a lower end of the second supporter into a through hole;
- and
- (5) next, driving the press plate to move horizontally so that the second supporter moves towards the first supporter through a predetermined distance, and thus a spacer resisting against a crossing structure formed by the first supporter and the second supporter.
A system for mounting a cross type supporter upon a computer keyboard comprising:
- a. a first platform having a placing surface for supporting the computer keyboard;
- b. a second platform displaceably disposed in spaced manner above said first platform, said second platform being vertically displaceable relative to said first platform;
- and,
- c. a press plate suspended from said second platform for vertical displacement therewith, said press plate at least partially extending between said first and second platforms, said press plate being horizontally displaceable relative to said first platform in a manner independent of the vertical displacement, said press plate defining a lower surface portion for engaging the cross type supporter to impart a displacement force thereto.
