Abstract

A responsive mouse click mechanism includes a body comprising a pivotal notch; a switch arranged on the body; a key comprising an extension arm and a pivotal shaft; and an elastic member disposed between the body and the key, wherein the elastic member causes the extension arm to contact the switch without triggering the switch, and wherein the elastic member presses the pivotal shaft into the pivotal notch.

Claims (57)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a body comprising a pivotal notch;

a switch arranged on the body;

a key comprising an extension arm and a pivotal shaft; and

an elastic member disposed between the body and the key, wherein the elastic member causes the extension arm to contact the switch without triggering the switch, wherein the elastic member presses the pivotal shaft into the pivotal notch, and wherein a contact point between the elastic member and the body is located between the pivotal notch and the switch.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 :

wherein the extension arm of the key comprises a protruding pushing block arranged to contact the switch.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 :

wherein the key comprises a cup to receive the elastic member.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 :

wherein the elastic member presses the cup in a direction opposite to an opening direction of the pivotal notch to press the pivotal shaft into the pivotal notch.

5. The apparatus of claim 3 :

wherein the body comprises a pressing plate to receive the elastic member.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 :

wherein the elastic member is a cylindrical spring, wherein the pressing plate comprises a pin, wherein the pin is inserted into an opening in a first end of the cylindrical spring, and wherein the cup receives a second end of the cylindrical spring.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 :

wherein the elastic member is arranged between the pivotal notch and a contact point between the elastic member and the body is located between the pivotal notch and the switch.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 :

wherein the pivotal notch is a first pivotal notch, wherein the body comprises a second pivotal notch, and wherein the first and second pivotal notches are coaxial;

wherein the pivotal shaft is a first pivotal shaft, wherein the key comprises a second pivotal shaft, and wherein the first and second pivotal shafts are coaxial; and

wherein the elastic member presses the first and second pivotal shafts into the first and second pivotal notches.

9. An apparatus, comprising:

a body comprising a pivotal notch;

a switch arranged on the body;

a key comprising an extension arm and a pivotal shaft; and

an elastic member disposed between the body and the key, wherein the elastic member causes the extension arm to contact the switch without triggering the switch, and wherein the elastic member presses the pivotal shaft into the pivotal notch;

wherein the key comprises a cup to receive the elastic member;

wherein the body comprises a pressing plate to receive the elastic member; and

wherein the elastic member is a cylindrical spring, wherein the pressing plate comprises a pin, wherein the pin is inserted into an opening in a first end of the cylindrical spring, and wherein the cup receives a second end of the cylindrical spring.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 :

wherein a contact point between the elastic member and the body is located between the pivotal notch and the switch.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 :

wherein the extension arm of the key comprises a protruding pushing block arranged to contact the switch.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 :

wherein the elastic member presses the cup in a direction opposite to an opening direction of the pivotal notch to press the pivotal shaft into the pivotal notch.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 :

wherein the elastic member is arranged between the pivotal notch and a contact point between the elastic member and the body is located between the pivotal notch and the switch.

14. An apparatus, comprising:

a body comprising a pivotal notch;

a switch arranged on the body;

a key comprising an extension arm and a pivotal shaft; and

an elastic member disposed between the body and the key, wherein the elastic member causes the extension arm to contact the switch without triggering the switch, and wherein the elastic member presses the pivotal shaft into the pivotal notch;

wherein the pivotal notch is a first pivotal notch, wherein the body comprises a second pivotal notch, and wherein the first and second pivotal notches are coaxial;

wherein the pivotal shaft is a first pivotal shaft, wherein the key comprises a second pivotal shaft, and wherein the first and second pivotal shafts are coaxial; and

wherein the elastic member presses the first and second pivotal shafts into the first and second pivotal notches.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 :

wherein the elastic member is arranged between the first and second pivotal notches and a contact point between the elastic member and the body is located between the first and second pivotal notches and the switch.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 :

wherein the extension arm of the key comprises a protruding pushing block arranged to contact the switch.

17. The apparatus of claim 14 :

wherein the key comprises a cup arranged between the first and second pivotal shafts to receive the elastic member.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 :

wherein the body comprises a pressing plate to receive the elastic member.

19. The apparatus of claim 18 :

wherein the elastic member is a cylindrical spring, wherein the pressing plate comprises a pin, wherein the pin is inserted into an opening in a first end of the cylindrical spring, and wherein the cup receives a second end of the cylindrical spring.

20. The apparatus of claim 17 :

wherein the elastic member presses the cup in a direction opposite to an opening direction of the first and second pivotal notches to press the first and second pivotal shafts into the first and second pivotal notches, respectively.
