Key structure
A key structure includes a keycap, a pedestal and an elastic element. The keycap includes a main body and a coupling shaft. The pedestal includes a key slot. The key slot has an upper part and a lower part. The coupling shaft is penetrated through the upper part of the key slot and movable within the key slot upwardly or downwardly. The elastic element is installed in the lower part of the key slot. After an external force applied to the keycap is released, the elastic element is elastically restored, so that the keycap is returned to an original position. At the same time, the buffering elements in the key slot interfere with the coupling shaft. Consequently, an ascending speed of the keycap is reduced, and a click sound generated from the collision between keycap and the pedestal is reduced.
Rotating handle device
A rotating handle device formed by the the mounting of an assembly including an attachment base that receives a grip and a sliding button, a sliding limiting drive member, and a fixing cover. The fastening between the sliding button, grip, attachment base, and fixing cover is achieved by pressure fastening engagements snap-fits. The assembly includes a mounting method that prevents removal of the grip from the attachment base unless the sliding button is removed first, and a mounting or dismounting process between the grip and the attachment base that may only take place upon the coincidence between pairs of flaps and passing recessions.

Key input device for multifunction peripheral equipment
A key input device includes: keys each including a contact portion provided on its back surface; a holder holding the keys movably; a conductive member opposed to the holder; and a circuit board having a switch surface and switches arranged on the switch surface and each contactable with the contact portion of a corresponding key. The conductive member is interposed between the switch surface and the holder. The holder has first through holes, and the conductive member has second through holes. At least one of the contact portion and the switch is inserted in a corresponding one of the first through holes, and at least one of the contact portion and the switch is inserted in a corresponding one of the second through holes.
