Abstract

An operating device and an electronic device using the same are provided. The operating device includes a base, an electronic circuit board, a lever and a slider. The base includes a bearer. The electronic circuit board is disposed on the base. The lever is disposed on the electronic circuit board. The slider is movably disposed on the sliding portion for triggering the lever.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An operating device, comprising:
a base comprising a bearer, the bearer disposed on a surface of the base and having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side;
a slider comprising a groove, the groove opening towards the surface of the base and having a first groove sidewall and a second groove sidewall opposite to the first groove sidewall; and
a lever disposed on the surface of the base and moving with the slider;
wherein a gap between the first groove sidewall and the second groove sidewall is substantially the same as or slightly larger than a gap between the first side and the second side, and the slider is movably disposed on the bearer through the first groove sidewall moving along the first side and the second groove sidewall moving along the second side.

2. The operating device according to claim 1 , further comprising an electronic circuit board disposed on the base and electrically connected to the lever.

3. The operating device according to claim 1 , wherein the slider comprises a recess, and the lever is extended to and in the recess.

4. The operating device according to claim 1 , wherein the operating device further comprises a first elastic member disposed on the base.

5. The operating device according to claim 4 , wherein the first elastic member comprises at least one hole, the base further comprises a hook and at least one pin, the first elastic member is engaged with the hook, and the hole set onto the pin.

6. The operating device according to claim 1 , further comprising two second elastic members disposed on the bearer.

7. The operating device according to claim 6 , wherein the bearer comprises a receiving space, the slider comprises a peg, the second elastic members are respectively disposed in the receiving space, and the peg separates the second elastic members.

8. The operating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover having an opening, wherein the slider is exposed from the opening and is movably disposed between two inner sidewalls of the cover.

9. An electronic device, comprising an operating device according to claim 1 .

10. An operating device, comprising:
a base comprising a bearer and at least one pin;
a slider comprising a receiving space and movably disposed on the bearer;
a first elastic member comprising at least one hole, a first rod, a second rod, a connection rod connecting the first rod and the second rod, wherein the hole is set onto the pin, the first rod and the second rod are located inside and extend to the receiving space, and the connection rod is located outside of the receiving space;
a lever moving with the slider; and
an electronic circuit board fixed on the base and connected to the lever.

11. The operating device according to claim 10 , wherein the base further comprises a hook, and the first elastic member engages the hook.

12. The operating device according to claim 10 , wherein the slider comprises a recess, and the lever is disposed extended to and in the recess.

13. An electronic device comprising an operating device according to claim 10 .

14. An operating device, comprising:
a base comprising a bearer with a receiving space;
a slider comprising a peg and a recess and movably disposed on the bearer;
two elastic members disposed within the receiving space of the bearer and contacting the peg respectively;
a lever linked to the slider and extended to and in the recess; and
an electronic circuit board disposed on the base and connected to the lever.

15. An electronic device comprising an operating device according to claim 14 .
