A keyboard case for a tabled computer has a keyboard with a bezel plate having a matrix of apertures therein. A matrix of keycaps corresponds to the matrix of apertures in the bezel plate. The bezel plate has a web between the matrix of apertures comprising narrower lateral web between laterally proximate apertures and wider diagonal web between diagonally proximate apertures. Pockets extend from corners of each aperture into the diagonal web of the bezel plate. Tabs extend from corners of each keycap into corresponding pockets of the bezel plate to interlock the keycaps to the bezel plate.

A switch according to the present invention includes a base including a recessed portion on one surface of the base; a click spring having a dome shape, the click spring being provided at the recessed portion such that the bottom of the recessed portion is contacted at a dome-shaped opening side of the click spring; a cover provided to cover the recessed portion and to house the click spring at the recessed portion; and a strain detecting element attached to another surface of the base. The strain detecting element is configured to detect strain of the base, the strain occurring in accordance with a depression amount of the click spring that is depressed.

A switch includes: a housing having a box shape; a plunger movable in a first direction intersecting an opening surface; and a movable piece arranged inside the housing and is elastically deformable in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The plunger has a touching portion which is arranged so as to face the movable piece in the second direction inside the housing and to be able to elastically deform the movable piece in the second direction by touching the movable piece, and further, a lubricant retaining portion that can retain a lubricant is provided in at least one of the touching portion of the plunger and a touched portion of the movable piece.

A flexible switch has a deformable body and a plurality of electrodes, at least one of the electrodes being provided on the deformable body. The switch has a first state in which the electrodes are spaced apart and a second state in which the electrodes are in electrical contact, and the switch is configured to allow movement between the states when a force is applied to or removed from the deformable body.

A membrane keyboard structure and a conductive method thereof allows a first surrounding portion of a first flexible circuit layer to be deformed to pass through an through hole to be in direct contact and conduction with a second surrounding portion temporarily when it is pressed through the coordination of a first flexible sheet body, first flexible circuit layer configured on the first flexible sheet body, spacer layer positioned on one side of the first flexible sheet body adjacent to the first flexible circuit layer, second flexible sheet body configured on one side of the spacer away from the first flexible circuit layer and second flexible circuit layer configured on one side of the second flexible sheet body adjacent to the spacer layer. Whereby, the present invention can achieve the contact and conduction anywhere to make the use thereof easier and more convenient.

The present disclosure relates to a switch assembly for a motor vehicle component, including: an electronic basic body for arranging a contact member; an actuating member for actuating the contact member; a web associated with the actuating member, including a web portion with a web stop; a flexible switching mat having a basic portion for arranging the actuating member and the web; an operating member having an operating portion with an operating stop and an operating counter-stop disposed opposite to the web stop; a support member connected to the basic body or the switching mat having a support portion with a support counter-stop that contacts the operating stop in a non-actuated state of the switch assembly; wherein the web provided on the basic portion is arranged to be spaced apart from the actuating member provided on the basic portion, wherein the web encloses the actuating member at least partially.
