20180211797 | PROGRAM SWITCH AND MODULAR PROGRAM SWITCH ARRANGEMENT FOR MOUNTING ON A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A PROGRAM SWITCH ARRANGEMENT - The invention relates to a program switch for mounting on a printed circuit board comprising a housing, an insulator component with contact elements arranged thereon, and a switching element for contacting the contact elements. The housing has at least two connection elements for connecting the program switch to adjacent program switches to form a program switch arrangement having an arbitrary number of poles. Production and stock keeping and sale of the program switch are simple. | 2018-07-26 |
20180211798 | PROTECTING COVER AND KEYBOARD - The present invention relates to a protecting cover which covers a plurality of key caps of a keyboard. The protecting cover includes a connection pad and a plurality of cover bodies, where the connection pad is provided on a bottom plate of the keyboard. The cover body is provided on the connection pad and is covered at the corresponding key cap. The cover body includes an upper cover portion and a side wall portion. The upper cover portion covers an upper surface of the key cap, and the side wall portion surrounds the upper cover portion and covers a side edge of the key cap. Thickness of the side wall portion is smaller than thickness of the key cap, so that the side wall portion may be merely slightly deformed, so as to reduce a degree for the side wall portion to be squeezed. | 2018-07-26 |
20180211799 | STATIC AND DYNAMIC PIECE ASSEMBLY FOR KEY SWITCH - A static and dynamic piece assembly for a key switch includes a static piece and a dynamic piece, an ejector rod being arranged in a middle section of the dynamic piece. The ejector rod being arranged on the dynamic piece of the static and dynamic piece assembly for the key switch increases contact sensitivity between the static piece and the dynamic piece; the ejector rod and the dynamic piece are formed in an integral structure by means of injection molding, such that connection strength between the ejector rod and the dynamic piece is improved; furthermore, installation ways of the dynamic piece are flexible and diversified. The static and dynamic piece assembly is simple in structure, convenient and practical, and increases the efficiency of contact and disconnection between the static piece and the dynamic piece, thus being suitable for large-scale promotion. | 2018-07-26 |
20180211800 | SWITCH ASSEMBLY - A switch assembly includes a manually operable push button, an elastic element, a rotatably mounted transmitter, and a microswitch, wherein the push button includes a pusher, which, upon actuation of the push button, exerts a first force on the elastic element, the elastic element connects to a force arm of the transmitter and is configured to transmit at least a part of the first force onto the force arm, and set the transmitter in a rotation, and the transmitter further includes a load arm configured to exert a second force on the microswitch during rotation of the transmitter. | 2018-07-26 |
