A keyswitch structure includes a bottom plate, a keycap, a first support, a second support, and a magnetic member. The bottom plate has a magnetic portion. The keycap is disposed above the bottom plate. The first support and the second support are disposed between the bottom plate and the keycap. The keycap is capable of moving up and down relative to the bottom plate through the first support and the second support. The magnetic member is disposed between the bottom plate and the keycap corresponding to the magnetic portion. The magnetic member and the magnetic portion induce an attractive force therebetween. The attractive force makes the magnetic member contact and apply force to the first support and the second support so that the first support and the second support tend to move the keycap away from the bottom plate.

The invention provides a keyboard device and a key thereof. The key comprises a key cap, a bottom plate, a balancing bar and a damping sheet, wherein the bottom plate is provided with a clamping hook portion and an accommodating space; a slide groove is formed in the clamping hook portion; the accommodating space is located below the clamping hook portion and is communicated with the slide groove; the balancing bar is connected with the key cap and the bottom plate, so that the key cap can move up and down relative to the bottom plate; when the key cap moves up and down relative to the bottom plate, an end portion of the balancing bar slides in the slide groove; the damping sheet is arranged on the bottom plate and is provided with a body and an extension portion, wherein the extension portion extends from the body so as to cover the accommodating space; when the balancing bar slides in the slide groove, the end portion of the balancing bar contacts with the damping sheet, so that a contact area between the end portion of the balancing bar and the bottom plate can be decreased.

An exemplary keyboard assembly includes a light source for emitting light, a light guide plate and a plurality of keys mounted on the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface facing the light source and a light emitting surface. Each key includes a cap, a light guide portion coupled to the cap, and a spring member configured for biasing the light guide portion in a direction away from the light emitting surface of the light guide plate. Each key is movable relative to the light guide plate, in response to manual manipulation thereto, between a depressed position where the light guide portion is attached to and optically coupled to the light emitting surface of the light guide plate thereby illuminating the cap, and a rest position where the light guide portion is spaced apart from the light emitting surface of the light guide plate.

The invention discloses a key structure. The key structure comprises key caps, guiding mechanisms arranged on the key caps, actuating parts movably connected with the guiding mechanisms, circuit units, elastic parts and returning units. When a key cap is subjected to pressure, the key cap moves to a low position through a trigger position from a high position downwards. When the key cap moves to the trigger position, the corresponding circuit unit abuts against the corresponding actuating part to generate a trigger signal, and a preset length of the corresponding elastic part is maintained, so that relative motion between the corresponding actuating part and the key cap does not exist. When the key cap moves to the low position from the trigger position, the corresponding actuating part stops moving downwards, and the corresponding elastic part is compressed so as to enable the corresponding actuating part to move relative to the corresponding guiding mechanism. When the pressure is released, the corresponding elastic part and the corresponding returning unit provides elastic force and returning force respectively so as to enable the corresponding actuating part and the key cap to be returned to a position before the key cap is pressed. According to the key structure disclosed by the invention, the trigger signal is generated in a key stroke period so as to improve the trigger speed under the condition without influencing the key stroke, so that a trigger signal transmission path is more direct and quicker.

The invention provides a press key and an electronic device with the same. The press key consists of four parts, i.e. a press member, a return member, a push member and a waterproof ring, wherein the waterproof ring made of a flexible material is clamped between two round rings of the push member; the return member made of the flexible material is clamped between one end of the push member and one round ring; the shell body of the electronic device squeezes the waterproof ring; the waterproof ring closely clings to the shell body and the cylinder of the push member so as to prevent dust and water from entering the electronic device; meanwhile, when the external force is applied onto the press member, the end face of the return member squeezing the shell body of the electronic device is elastically deformed; the other end of the push member squeezes a press key membrane of the electronic device, so that the conductive function of the press key is achieved; once the external force applied on the press member disappears, the return member in the elastic deformation generates elastic force, causing the whole press key to return to the initial state. Therefore, the press key not only is simple in structure, but also causes the electronic device with the press key to have high dustproof and waterproof properties.

The invention relates to an RFID label applicator (100) may include a peeler member (140) having a peel end (142), the peeler member being configured to cause an RFID label (102) to peel away from a web (110) when the web passes around the peel end; and a label tamp assembly (150) having a receiving surface (612) configured to receive the RFID label and to move it into contact with an item (104) on which the RFID label is to be applied, the label tamp assembly having at least one forward opening in a portion of the receiving surface away from the peeler member and a plurality of rearward openings in a portion of the receiving surface proximate the peeler member, wherein at least one of the forward or rearward openings is configured to draw in air such that a leading portion of the RFID label is substantially secured.
