Abstract
A mobile terminal device that includes a frame that supports a structure of the mobile terminal, a button that fits with a hole in the frame, a gasket that contacts with the button, a first area of which contacting with the button being configured to move when the button is pushed, and a second area of which being fixed to the frame by an adhesive, processing circuitry, and a switch that contacts with the gasket, and moves and applies current to the processing circuitry when the gasket moves in response to the button being pushed.
Claims19
A mobile terminal device comprising:
- a frame that supports a structure of the mobile terminal device;
- a button that fits within a hole in the frame;
- a gasket that contacts with the button, a first area of the gasket contacting with the button being configured to move when the button is pushed, and a second area of the gasket being fixed to the frame by an adhesive, a side of the gasket contacting the button being covered with a first film of a flexible material;
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a switch that contacts with the gasket, and that is configured to move and apply current to the processing circuitry when the gasket moves in response to the button being pushed,
- wherein the processing circuitry is configured to operate in response to the current being applied.
A chassis comprising:
- a frame that supports a structure of the chassis;
- a button that fits within a hole in the frame;
- a gasket that contacts with the button, a first area of the gasket contacting with the button being configured to move when the button is pushed, and a second area of the gasket being fixed to the frame by an adhesive, a side of the gasket contacting the button being covered with a first film of a flexible material;
- and
- a switch that contacts with the gasket, and that is configured to move and contact with a terminal to apply current to the terminal when the gasket moves in response to the button being pushed.
