A button assembly includes a pedestal, a pressure sensor module and a key cap. The pedestal has an accommodating groove penetrating upward through a top surface of the pedestal. Two opposite sides of the pedestal protrude oppositely outward to form a lower active portion and a lower pivot portion. The pressure sensor module is mounted in the accommodating groove. The key cap is covered on the pressure sensor module. A bottom surface of the key cap has a contact portion contacting with the pressure sensor module. Two opposite sides of the key cap protrude oppositely outward to form an upper active portion and an upper pivot portion. The upper pivot portion rotate pivoting the lower pivot portion, the upper active portion moves downward and upward with respect to the lower active portion.

An electric power tool has a tool housing, and a trigger switch fixed inside the tool housing. The tool housing internally has a trigger switch fixing unit configured to fix the trigger switch. The trigger switch fixing unit is provided with a vibration damping elastic body interposed between the trigger switch fixing unit and the trigger switch.

An intelligent hybrid touch display device, including: a touch display unit; a rotary mechanical switch, being integrated with the touch display unit in a body; and a control unit, located in the body and including: a first interface for driving the touch display unit; a second interface coupled with the rotary mechanical switch; a touch and switch detection unit coupled with the first interface and the second interface; a transmission interface for communicating with at least one external device; and a processor and an operating system stored in a memory, the processor being coupled with the touch and switch detection unit and the transmission interface, and being used for executing a control program with a support of the operating system, so that the touch display unit and the rotary mechanical switch can cooperate to provide a hybrid operation for selecting, changing or activating function options.

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.

A switching assembly can include a lever arm that is magnetically attached to at least a portion of a base plate. A contact may be positioned in a spaced apart and above one end of the lever arm. Alternatively, the contact may be included in the base plate. Another switching assembly can include a movable element adapted to electrically connect with a contact in the switch assembly and a guide a guide having a geometry that directs the element along a first travel path to the contact and a second travel path away from the contact. A geometry of the guide is based on a first displacement curve that is associated with the first travel path and on a second displacement curve that is associated with the second travel path.

In one aspect, a switch assembly includes a switch housing that includes one or more compound switches, each comprising a first switch and a second switch embedded within the first switch. Each compound switch includes a first subassembly of constituent parts that includes the first switch and implements a first switching function. Each compound switch also includes a second subassembly of constituent parts embedded within and carried by the first subassembly of constituent parts. The second subassembly of constituent parts includes the second switch and implements a second switching function that is distinct from the first switching function. The switch assembly includes one or more extended plungers and corresponding guiding features that advantageously allow for the use of a single keypad and PCB with respect to the compound switches.

The present invention provides a mobile terminal comprising: a terminal body having a display part on the front side thereof; and a back input part exposed to the back side of the body and having a first button part for receiving a push input of a first function, wherein the first button part comprises: an exposed part having a colored layer and exposed to the outside; a knob part formed on the back side thereof so as to fix the exposed part; and a body part covering the knob part and formed to be integrated with the exposed part.

A vehicle switch device has a selection switch having an operation part that, when operated, selects at least one of a plurality of driving target vehicle components mounted on a vehicle, and an operation switch that is separately operable from the selection switch, and drives the selected driving target vehicle component when operated. The operation switch has a single holding operation knob that swings so as to have a front portion thereof pushed down or pulled up. The single holding operation knob is structured to allow a palm of a hand to be placed on an upper face thereof, and fingers of the hand other than a thumb to be placed on the front portion. The operation part is disposed on a side face of the holding operation knob.
