| 20080223702 | KEYPAD ASSEMBLY - A compact keypad structure includes keypad panel with smooth face, matted face or patterned layer. The keypad structure includes a flexible printed circuit board, an illumination layer, a resilient layer and a keypad layer in bottom-up order. The illumination layer includes an illumination plate to illuminate the bottom of the resilient body when the keypad is operated. Therefore, the surface of the keypad has transparent effect for display. The first carrier and the second carrier of the keypad layer, and the resilient body of the resilient layer are deformed when external force is applied to the surface of the keypad. A protrusion is pressed against the surface of the illumination plate and a metal dome on another face of the illumination plate is deformed and pressed against the flexible printed circuit board. The metal dome is in contact with contact of the flexible printed circuit board to output an operation signal. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20080302644 | ELECTRICAL INTERFACE SHIELD AND METHOD - Disclosed herein is an electrical interface shield. The shield includes, a transparent support member having a first end and a second end, a transparent housing hingedly attached at the first end of the transparent support member and latchably engagable with the second end, and at least one brace. The at least one brace has at least one mounting hole therethrough and is removably attached to the transparent support member and the at least one mounting hole is configured to receive a fastener therein for mounting the transparent support member to an electrical interface frame. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090166165 | Push Button Switch Cover Member - A silicone rubber composition having such selective adhesiveness that shows high adhesion to an organic material than to a molding die is bonded to a sheet of the organic material and is vulcanized and cured in the mold. Thus, an elastomer keypad of double-layer structure is produced in which an organic material layer ( | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100072048 | KEY MECHANISM FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A key mechanism is used in an electronic device, the electronic device includes a housing. The key mechanism includes a key cap made of elastic material. The key cap includes an edge and a protrusion. The edge is waterproofly connected to the housing. The protrusion allows a user to detect the key cap. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20120097510 | Apparatus and Method for Child Proofing a Personal Electronic Device - An apparatus for preventing young children from activating a push button switch while allowing adults to activate said button. The apparatus is a semi-rigid child-proof cover or cap for the “home button” or menu button on a personal electronic device or computing tablet. The cap is disposed over the push button switch and prevents young children from pressing it because the strength necessary to bend the semi-rigid material of the cap is beyond that of young children. However, adults have sufficient strength to push the semi-rigid material with enough force that it bends and thus exerts a downward pressure and activates the push button below it. A small hole may also be defined in middle of the cap that allows an adult to use a paperclip or other pointed object to activate the button, while being too small for a young child's finger to pass through and activate the button. | 04-26-2012 |

| 20140291132 | Protective Switch Cover System - The instant invention teaches a protective cover for an electrical switch forming part of an electrical circuit having three key components: a fastening flange adapted to be secured to a cover plate for the switch, a shield portion connected to the fastening flange which serves to help block accidental contact, activation and/or access to the electrical switch, but does not totally prevent intentional movement of the switch by a user (especially via a hand-held tool), and a snap off tab or tabs forming part of the shield portion, with the snap off tab or tabs being adapted to be snapped off and removed to allow freer access to and movement of the electrical switch by a user while still providing significant protection against accidental contact and activation. | 10-02-2014 |
