Modular frame
A modular frame including a push-button area is provided. The push-button area has a function key hole group, an alphabet key hole group, a number key hole group, a shift key hole, a space key hole, a backspace key hole, and an enter key hole. The shift key hole is located at one side of the alphabet key hole group and has a first processing region. The space key hole is disposed at a bottom end of the push-button area and has second, third, and fourth processing regions. The backspace key hole has a fifth processing region. The enter key hole is located below the backspace key hole and has sixth and seventh processing regions. The first to seventh processing regions may be selectively performed with a process to switch the modular frame to a first, second, or third configuration.
1. A modular frame, comprising:
a push-button area comprising:
a function key hole group disposed at a top end of the push-button area;
an alphabet key hole group disposed at a middle of the push-button area;
a number key hole group disposed between the function key hole group and the alphabet key hole group;
a shift key hole located at one side of the alphabet key hole group, wherein the shift key hole comprises a first processing region;
a space key hole disposed at a bottom end of the push-button area opposite to the function key hole group, wherein the space key hole comprises a second processing region, a third processing region, and a fourth processing region;
a backspace key hole located between the function key hole group and the alphabet key hole group and at one side of the number key hole group, wherein the backspace key hole comprises a fifth processing region; and
an enter key hole located in the alphabet key hole group and below the backspace key hole, wherein the enter key hole comprises a sixth processing region and a seventh processing region; and
a plurality of rib structures selectively disposed in at least one of the first processing region to the seventh processing region,
wherein the first processing region to the seventh processing region are selectively performed with a process to switch the modular frame to a first configuration, a second configuration, or a third configuration.
2. The modular frame as described in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of rib structures are respectively formed in the first processing region to the seventh processing region, wherein the rib structures divide the shift key hole into two sub-key holes, divide the space key hole into four sub-key holes, divide the backspace key hole into two sub-key holes, and divide the enter key hole into three sub-key holes.
3. The modular frame as described in claim 2 , wherein in the first configuration, the rib structures formed in the first processing region to the sixth processing region are cut through a punching or cutting process to present the shift key hole, the space key hole, and the backspace key hole each as a single key hole and present the enter key hole as two sub-key holes.
4. The modular frame as described in claim 2 , wherein in the second configuration, the rib structures formed in the second processing region to the fifth processing region and the seventh processing region are cut through a punching or cutting process to present the space key hole and the backspace key hole each as a single key hole and present the enter key hole as two sub-key holes.
5. The modular frame as described in claim 2 , wherein in the third configuration, two rib structures formed in the first processing region and the seventh processing region are cut through a punching or cutting process to present the shift key hole as a single key hole and present the enter key hole as two sub-key holes.
6. The modular frame as described in claim 2 , wherein a gap is formed between each of the rib structures and a top surface of the push-button area.
7. The modular frame as described in claim 2 , wherein two rib structures in the enter key hole are perpendicular to each other.
8. The modular frame as described in claim 1 , wherein each of the rib structures comprises two engaging portions and two through holes, and each of the first processing region to the seventh processing region comprises two positioning grooves and two hot melt pillars, the two engaging portions of each of the rib structures are adapted to be disposed in the corresponding two positioning grooves, the two hot melt pillars are adapted to be disposed through the corresponding two through holes, and each of the hot melt pillars is adapted to melt when heated, to adhere each of the rib structures to the push-button area.
9. The modular frame as described in claim 1 , wherein in the first configuration, one of the rib structures is disposed in the seventh processing region to divide the enter key hole into two sub-key holes.
10. The modular frame as described in claim 1 , wherein in the second configuration, the plurality of rib structures comprises two rib structures respectively disposed in the first processing region and the sixth processing region to divide the shift key hole into two sub-key holes and divide the enter key hole into two sub-key holes.
11. The modular frame as described in claim 1 , wherein in the third configuration, the plurality of rib structures comprises five rib structures respectively disposed in the second processing region to the sixth processing region to divide the space key hole into four sub-key holes, divide the backspace key hole into two sub-key holes, and divide the enter key hole into two sub-key holes.
