Keyswitch structure
A keyswitch structure includes a base plate, a keycap, a first support, and a second support. The keycap is located above the base plate. The first support is connected to and between the keycap and the base plate and has an upper connection portion, a lower connection portion, and a protruding limitation portion. The upper connection portion is located between the lower connection portion and the protruding limitation portion. The first support is rotatably connected to the keycap and the base plate through the upper connection portion and the lower connection portion respectively. The protruding limitation portion is located close to and under the cap body. The second support is connected to and between the keycap and the base plate. The keycap moves up and down relative to the base plate through the first support and the second support.
Dishwasher appliances and user interfaces
A dishwasher appliance and user interface are generally provided herein. The user interface may be provided on the dishwasher appliance and include a control panel, a button body, a board housing, and a control board. The button body may be slidably mounted to the control panel. The board housing may be disposed behind the control panel along a transverse direction. The board housing may include a planar frame and a resilient cantilever. The planar frame may define a switch aperture in transverse alignment with the button body. The resilient cantilever may extend from the planar frame in forward biased engagement with the button body. The control board may be fixed to the board housing and include a contact switch positioned in transverse alignment with the switch aperture to selectively engage the button body.
Horn actuating device of motor vehicle
A horn actuating device of a motor vehicle is provided to enhance operating feeling of a horn actuating cover installed on a steering wheel. The horn actuating device prevents shaking of a horn actuating cover and prevents deterioration of operating feeling of the horn actuating cover by adopting a structural elastic member configured such that after the horn actuating cover for actuating a horn is actuated, the elastic member for returning the horn actuating cover back to an original position restrains shaking of the horn actuating cover and then installing the elastic member between the horn actuating cover and a horn mounting portion.
CONTROL BUTTON ASSEMBLY FOR MEDIA PLAYBACK DEVICE
A system is provided for streaming media content in a vehicle. The system includes a personal media streaming appliance system configured to connect to a media delivery system and receive media content from the media delivery system at least via a cellular network. The personal media streaming appliance system operates to transmit a media signal representative to the received media content to a vehicle media playback system so that the vehicle media playback system operates to play the media content in the vehicle.
SWITCH DEVICE AND MUSIC GENERATION DEVICE
A switch device and a music generation device are provided. A switch device comprising: a switch; a housing; a movable shaft that moves with respect to the housing to press the switch; an elastic member that biases the movable shaft to one end side of the movable shaft in an axial direction; and an arm for pressing the switch at a position eccentric from an axis of the movable shaft.
KEYSWITCH STRUCTURE

The horn actuating device prevents shaking of a horn actuating cover and prevents deterioration of operating feeling of the horn actuating cover by adopting a structural elastic member configured such that after the horn actuating cover for actuating a horn is actuated, the elastic member for returning the horn actuating cover back to an original position restrains shaking of the horn actuating cover and then installing the elastic member between the horn actuating cover and a horn mounting portion.
COMPUTING DEVICE WITH OFFSET BUTTON AND SWITCH
A computing device may include a housing with an aperture. A switch with an activation surface is connected to the housing. A button may be slidable within the aperture and may be configured to receive an activation force from a user to activate the switch. The button may be moveable to activate the switch. The button may have a back surface that is offset from the activation surface of the switch such that when the button is moved to the active position the activation surface and the back surface do not come into direct contact. An adapter may be positioned between the switch and the button, where the adapter has a switch surface and a button surface. The button surface may be aligned with the back surface of the button and the switch surface may be aligned with the activation surface of the switch.
DISHWASHER APPLIANCES AND USER INTERFACES
A dishwasher appliance and user interface are generally provided herein. The user interface may be provided on the dishwasher appliance and include a control panel, a button body, a board housing, and a control board. The button body may be slidably mounted to the control panel. The board housing may be disposed behind the control panel along a transverse direction. The board housing may include a planar frame and a resilient cantilever. The planar frame may define a switch aperture in transverse alignment with the button body. The resilient cantilever may extend from the planar frame in forward biased engagement with the button body. The control board may be fixed to the board housing and include a contact switch positioned in transverse alignment with the switch aperture to selectively engage the button body.
Keyboard structure
A keyboard structure, including: a keycap; a transparent membrane layer; and an elastic element, disposed between the keycap and the transparent membrane layer and having a press portion, where the transparent membrane layer includes: a first opening corresponding to the keycap; a hard membrane layer, having an extension portion that is formed at an inner edge of the first opening inner edge; and a spacer layer, disposed under the hard membrane layer and used for forming a gap. When the keycap is pressed with an external force, the elastic element is deformed to enable the press portion to move downward and abut against the extension portion, so that the extension portion generates a bending deformation in the gap; and when the external force is released, the elastic element and the extension portion are elastically recovered and the extension portion generates a sound.
