A key switch is provided, which includes a base, a cap, a first linkage rod, a second linkage rod, an elastic contraction element, at least one activate member and a thin film circuit unit. The base includes a plurality of first connection portions and a plurality of second connection portions. The first linkage rod is movably connected to the first connection portions and the cap. The second linkage rod is movably connected to the second connection portions and the cap. One end of the elastic contraction element is connected to the first linkage rod, and the other end thereof is connected to the second linkage rod. The activate member is disposed on one of the first linkage rod, the second linkage rod and the cap. The thin film circuit unit includes an activate portion.

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.

An electronic module is provided including power switches mounted on a circuit board and configured as an inverter circuit for an electric motor. A sliding member is coupled to an actuator. A power contact switch is provided including a first conductive body, a second conductive body, and a contact switch. The first and second conductive bodies are mounted on a first surface of the circuit board and include pins received through through-holes of the circuit board to make electrical contact with two conductive tracks on a second surface of the circuit board. The contact switch pivotably is secured to the first conductive body and pivotably moveable by the sliding member to make contact with the second conductive body with movement of the actuator. A flyback diode is electrically connected between the first and second conductive track on the second surface of the circuit board parallel to the power contact switch.

A keyswitch structure includes a base, a keycap, a lift mechanism and a light-emitting part. The lift mechanism includes a first support, a second support, and a spring structure. The first support and the second support are connected to and between the base and the keycap, so that the keycap can move relative to the base in a vertical direction. The spring structure is a single structural part and is connected to the first support and the second support and drives the first support and the second support to lift the keycap in the vertical direction. The lift mechanism as a whole defines a central space that extends through the whole lift mechanism in the vertical direction. The spring structure does not enter the central space. The light-emitting part is disposed on the base corresponding to the central zone, and emits light to illuminate the keycap.

A switch component includes a spring plate and a cover of rubber. The cover of rubber covers at least one part of an upper surface of the spring plate. The cover of rubber includes at least one pair of supporting portions that support the spring plate.

A switching device includes a keytop and a switching part. The keytop is exposed from an opening of an exterior cover of a housing. The switching part is pushed by the keytop. The switching part includes a head portion on which a pushing operation is received and a cover portion covering the opening of the exterior cover around the head portion. The cover portion forms an exterior appearance of the housing together with the exterior cover.

A key switch includes an operating body, a fixing rack, a first metal spring, an elastic body and a thin film switch layer, wherein the operating body comprises a lead post, the fixing rack comprises a lead tube, the lead post is matched with the lead tube to position the elastic body, one end of the elastic body is connected with the lead post, the other opposite end of the elastic body contacts or is spaced from the surface of the thin film switch layer, and the thin film switch layer is arranged outside the fixing rack. And the present invention also provides a key unit and a computer keyboard using the same.

An output-switch control system for an AC-DC power supply includes a push-button switch that has two triggers. The triggers correspond to different contacts of a detecting circuit, respectively. When the push-button switch is pressed to make the triggers and the contacts turn into a close-circuit state form an open-circuit state, the detecting circuit outputs a power-source-on signal, and when the push-button switch is pressed again, and either of the triggers and the contact turn into the close-circuit state form the open-circuit state, the detecting circuit outputs a power-source-off signal immediately. With the dual-transition signal certification at the contacts, safe output-switch control can be achieved, so as to provide a user with operational safety.

A swipe gesture detection device may determine a swipe gesture performed on a moving surface element of a vehicle component. The swipe gesture detection device includes a spring, which applies a pre-loading between the moving surface element and a housing element of the vehicle component. The swipe gesture detection device also includes a contactless measuring distance sensor having at least three sensor elements arranged in different positions for detecting a respective distance between the surface element and the housing element.

A key switch device includes a base, a button mounted on the base so as to be contactable and separable, an elastic body disposed between the base and the button and configured to urge the button in a direction away from the base, and a linear reinforcement member provided on the button and configured to prevent the button from being inclined when the button is operated in a direction toward the base. An outer surface portion of the button includes a recessed support portion in which a part of the linear reinforcement members is disposed.
