Abstract
A keyboard assembly includes a keyboard, a receiving member, and a supporting member receiving the receiving member. The keyboard defines a nick. The receiving member defines a receiving space receiving the keyboard. The supporting member includes a resilient piece and a resisting portion. The resilient piece includes a stopper portion. The resilient piece is engaged in the nick to prevent the keyboard from moving along a first direction. The resisting portion is used for resisting the stopper portion to prevent the resilient piece from moving along the first direction.
Claims16
A keyboard assembly comprising
- a keyboard, the keyboard defining a nick;
- a receiving member, the receiving member defining a receiving space receiving the keyboard;
- and
- a supporting member receiving the receiving member, the supporting member comprising a resisting portion;
- a resilient piece comprising a connecting arm extending from the supporting member, a securing protrusion extending from the connecting arm, and a stopper portion extending from the connecting arm;
- wherein the securing protrusion of the resilient piece is engaged in the nick to prevent the keyboard from moving along a first direction;
- the connecting arm is configured to be resiliently deformed to enable the securing protrusion to be aligned with the nick and to release to drive the securing protrusion to be engaged in the nick;
- and the resisting portion is configured to resist the stopper portion to prevent the resilient piece from moving along the first direction.
A mounting apparatus comprising:
- a receiving member, the receiving member comprising a bottom wall and two sidewalls;
- the bottom wall and the two sidewalls cooperatively defining a receiving space configured to receiving a keyboard;
- and one of the two sidewalls defining a through hole;
- and
- a supporting member defining an opening receiving the receiving member, the supporting member comprising a resisting portion;
- a resilient piece received in the through hole;
- the resilient piece comprising a connecting arm extending from the supporting member, a securing protrusion extending from the connecting arm, and a stopper portion extending from the connecting arm;
- wherein the securing protrusion of the resilient piece is configured to engage the keyboard to enable the keyboard to be located between the resilient piece and the bottom wall;
- the connecting arm is configured to be resiliently deformed to enable the securing protrusion to be aligned with the nick and to release to drive the securing protrusion to engage the keyboard;
- and the resisting portion is configured to resist the stopper portion to prevent the resilient piece from moving along a direction substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall.
