Thin notebook computer mechanical keyboard

A thin notebook computer mechanical keyboard includes a reinforcement iron plate, a scissor structure, a keycap, a base, a pressing stopper, a spring and a cover. The scissor structure includes first positioning parts vertically and movably clamped on clamping parts of the reinforcement iron plate, and second positioning parts. The keycap includes fastening parts fastened on the second positioning parts. When the keycap is pressed to a certain extent, an action between a hand touch and a fourth terminal produces a sound of an upward impact against the cover. When the keycap is pressed, the scissor structure maintains balance of the whole keycap without catching the keycap, which ensures a favorable touch feeling. A switch can be directly installed on a printed circuit board and pass through the reinforcement iron plate. The scissor structure maintains balance of the keycap, and balanced movement is achieved without falling short of thinning requirements.

A keyboard has a keyswitch capable of showing its movement depth. The keyswitch includes a substrate, a lifting unit, a multistage positioning component and a keycap. The lifting unit is disposed on the substrate. The multistage positioning component is disposed on the substrate and has a plurality of first actuating portions. The keycap is connected with the lifting unit and adjacent by the multistage positioning component. The keycap has a second actuating portion. The keycap is moved relative to the substrate via the lifting unit, and the second actuating portion can contact against one of the plurality of first actuating portions to generate a feedback signal.

Mechanical switch structure

A mechanical switch structure includes a keycap, a base plate formed with a guiding opening, a scissor unit disposed on the base plate, and a receiving housing. The receiving housing has a first accommodation and a second accommodation. A guiding unit is received in the first accommodation along a pressing direction of the keycap, and is formed with a hillside portion. A first elastic element provides the guiding unit with an elastic force. A resistance module has an abutting unit which is abutted against the hillside portion of the guiding unit, and a second elastic unit to provide the abutting unit with an elastic force toward the guiding unit. The hillside portion is undulate-shaped and faces the guiding unit. The abutting unit is abutted against the hillside portion so as to provide different resistances during a pressing stroke of the keycap.

Adapter assemblies for interconnecting surgical loading units and handle assemblies

A surgical instrument includes a handle assembly, a surgical loading unit, and an adapter assembly coupled therebetween. The adapter assembly includes a housing, an elongated body, a switch assembly, and a switch actuator. The elongated body extends distally from the housing and is configured to be coupled to the surgical loading unit. The switch assembly is disposed within the housing and configured to communicate that the surgical loading unit is coupled to the elongated body. The switch assembly includes a substrate, a switch mounted on the substrate, and at least one wire coupled to the substrate. The switch actuator is movably disposed within the housing and configured to actuate the switch upon engagement of the surgical loading unit with the elongated body.
