Clicking Mechanism Toys
A clicking mechanism toy having a body and head in the form of an animal or insect. The body accommodates a multitude of clicking mechanisms. Optionally a depressible push button of the clicking mechanism is colored, is transparent and can be illuminated. Also optionally such a version can be used in a pattern game where a push button illuminates until it is depressed and in another game where a user determines how fast the user can press an illuminated push button, causing the illumination to cease. The light can be within a housing for the push button or within the body of the toy. In one such version the single light directly illuminates all the push buttons, and in another such version fiber optic fibers go from a light source to each push button, enabling individual control and the aforementioned games.

USING ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (OLED) FILM TO ILLUMINATE KEYCAPS OF KEYS IN A KEYBOARD
In some examples, a computing device may include a first housing and a second housing. The first housing may include a first set of components, such as a display device. The second housing may include a second set of components, such as a keyboard having a plurality of keys. An individual key of the plurality of keys may include a keycap, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) film (or sheet), a key mechanism, and a base. When power is provided to contacts on the base of the individual key, the power may travel across conductive traces (or wires) in the key mechanism to pads on the OLED film, causing the OLED film to emit light. The light from the OLED film may illuminate a character or symbol embedded into the keycap or the OLED film may be shaped into the character or the symbol and embedded into the keycap.
Electric push-button switch, and operating element having an electric push-button switch
An electric pushbutton switch includes a pushbutton, a rocker, and a housing. The pushbutton has a substantially rectangular actuating surface. The pushbutton is received within the housing and is displaceable connected to the housing. The pushbutton displaces with respect to the housing by way of a pressure actuation onto the actuating surface, thus triggering an electrical switching element. The rocker is box-shaped and is arranged within the housing beneath the pushbutton body and is at least partially encompassed by the pushbutton. The rocker is mounted on an inner longitudinally extending wall of the housing by a pivot bearing. By actuating the actuating surface, the rocker pivots about the pivot bearing while supporting the pushbutton along the longitudinal extension of the pushbutton.
Interchangeable electrical assembly with tactile switch and illumination device
An interchangeable electrical assembly provides a tactile switch that selectively opens and closes a circuit for operating myriad styles of illumination devices. The tactile switch detachably mates with, and regulates conduction of direct current to the illumination device. The tactile switch also provides tactile feedback of an operating position. A wire carries a 12 volt direct current into a switch housing. A conductive member receives the direct current. A cap receives a force to axially displace the conductive member while providing tactile feedback to the position of the conductive member. A contact pin operatively connects to the conductive member. A spring biases the conductive member to disengage from the contact pin. The cap selectively displaces the conductive member to engage the contact pin. An illumination device detachably mates with tactile switch, and includes a conducting shaft, an inverter for converting direct current to alternating current, and circuitry to generate illumination.
Thin profile sealed button assembly
A sealed button assembly including a button cap, a push rod, a button retainer, and a bracket is described. The bracket can couple to the button retainer which itself can interlock with the button cap and push rod through a counterbore, the counterbore being defined in a sidewall of the housing of an electronic device.
Game controller button bias adjustment mechanism
A game controller button biasing mechanism includes a battery cover having a trigger support, a trigger body coupled to the trigger support to pivot about a pivot point, the trigger body having a back shaped to engage with a game controller button, and wherein the trigger support comprises an adjustable protrusion disposed in an opening to control biasing of the game controller button by the back of the trigger body via a biasing bar coupled to the trigger body.
