A waterproof structure is used with a printed circuit board, which is primarily composed of an upper layer membrane, a lower layer membrane, and an insulation layer, which are conjoined to one another. Besides, at least one first channel and second channel are provided on the upper layer membrane and the lower layer membrane respectively and correspondingly. Also, a pressure-adjusting hole, whose periphery is larger than that of the first channel and the second channel, is provided on the insulation layer corresponding to the positions of the first channel and the second channel. After the first channel, the second channel, and the pressure-adjusting hole of the insulation layer have been conjoined, a waterproof unit will be formed at a place where the contact points of the three are not connected to one another. The waterproof unit contains circulated air and prevents moisture from permeating into the circuit board thereby avoiding a short circuit of the circuit board.

Waterproof structure of printed circuit board

An improved keyboard structure consists of a lower plate, a membrane circuit, an upper plate, a bridge means, an elastic element and a key cap. The lower plate has a set of symmetrical first latch sections and a set of retaining sections formed at selected locations corresponding to the first latch sections. The upper plate has a set of symmetrical second apertures corresponding to the first latch sections and a set of symmetrical second latch sections corresponding to the second apertures. There are openings in front of the second latch sections for housing the retaining sections. The bridge means has a first pivotal end insertable in a biased manner into a space formed between the second latch section and the retaining sections and a second pivotal end latching to the first latch sections such that the bridge means can be assembled on the upper plate and the lower plate in single direction. The upper plate may be pushed to move the second latch sections away from the first pivotal end for removing the bridge means.
