Example Embodiment

[0026] [Example]

[0027] (constitute)

[0028] figure 1 Is a structural diagram showing the key switch of the embodiment, figure 2 It is an exploded perspective view showing the key switch of the embodiment.

[0029] The key switch of the embodiment is composed of a key tip portion 1, a first link member 2, a second link member 3, a cup-shaped rubber 4, a housing 5, a contact piece 6, a substrate 7, and a spring portion 8.

[0030] On the key top portion 1, there are provided rotation support portions 1a, 1b that rotatably support one end of the first link member 2, and figure 1 In the horizontal direction, the sliding support portions 1c, 1d of one end of the second link member 3 are slidably supported.

[0031] As shown in the figure, the spring portion 8 is formed by punching and bending an aluminum plate, for example, and fixing portions 8a, 8b and a spring 8c are provided. In this way, the fixing portion 8a is arranged on the later-described first connecting rod 2c of th...

Abstract

The invention provides a key switch which realizes long strokes, without enlarging a cup rubber 4 in a key switch, in which the pressing operation on a key top 1 is converted into rotational motion and sliding motion in horizontal direction using a first linking member 2 and a second linking member 3, and the first linking member 2 is housed in the second linking member 3 so that they do not overlap in the vertical direction. A spring part 8 is composed of fixed parts 8a and 8b and a spring 8c, in which the fixed part 8a fixes one end of the first linking member 2 to between rotating support parts 1a and 1b which support it so that it can rotate; and the fixed part 8b fixes one end of the second linking member 3 to between sliding support parts 1c and 1d which slidably support it, and puts between the key top 1 and the cup rubber 4 as a whole.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a key switch used in a keyboard of a personal computer or the like. technical background [0002] (constitute) [0003] In recent years, with the popularization of notebook type personal computers, there has been a demand for thinner keyboards. Figure 8 This is a structural diagram of a conventional key switch adopted in response to the request for thinning. [0004] A conventional key switch is composed of a key tip 1 , a first link member 2 , a second link member 3 , a cup rubber 4 , a housing 5 , a contact piece 6 and a substrate 7 . On the key top end portion 1, a pair of rotation support portions 1r are provided to rotatably support one end of the first link member 2, and to support the second link member 3 so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction in the figure. A pair of sliding support parts 1s at one end. [0005] The first link member 2 has a pair of legs, and the first connecting rod inserted into ...
