A touch module is provided, including a hollow frame, a positioning member, and a touch unit. The positioning member includes a main body, an extending portion, and a U-shape structure. The extending portion is connected to the main body and fixed to the frame. The U-shape structure includes a contact portion and a pair of flexible arms. The flexible arms are connected to the main body, wherein the U-shape structure and the main body form a gap therebetween. The contact portion and the extending portion are disposed on opposite sides of the main body, wherein the contact portion is disposed between the two flexible arms. The touch unit is connected to the main body and forms a protrusion, wherein when a force is applied to the touch unit, the protrusion contacts the contact portion.

Touch module

A component-positioning module comprises an elastic member, a plurality of fastening members, a plurality of adjustment elements and a positioning element. The elastic member is secured to a first component of the electronic device by the plurality of fastening members, and an operative portion of the elastic member is movable in a linear extension direction substantially perpendicular to an outer surface of the first component. The plurality of adjustment elements are secured between the elastic member and the first component by the fastening members respectively; the positioning element is combined with the operative portion to position a second component of the electronic device, and the positioning element at least partially protrudes from the outer surface. Manipulation of the plurality of fastening members deforms the plurality of adjustment elements and changes a distance of the positioning element protruding from the outer surface.

Electronic device and component-positioning module thereof

A touch pad module suitable for assembling in a casing of an electronic device is provided. The touch pad module includes a switch, a triggering element, a fixing element and an elastic element. The switch is disposed in the casing. The triggering element is disposed in the casing and corresponds to the switch. The fixing element fixes the triggering element to the casing. The elastic element is leaned between the casing and the triggering element, and the elastic element permanently drives the triggering element lean against the fixing element. The touch pad module is subjected to an external force to make the triggering element and switch to lean against each other, and compress the elastic element. An electronic device including a casing and a touch pad module assembled in the casing is also provided.

Touch pad module and electronic device

A cushion structure suitable for an electronic device is provided. The cushion structure includes cushions and at least one channel. Each cushion has a first surface and a second surface that are flexible and opposite to each other. Each cushion is combined to a body of the electronic device through its second surface, and the electronic device is placed on and in contact with a platform through the first surfaces of the cushions. The channel is in the body and communicated with the second surfaces. The channel is filled with a fluid that is in contact with the second surfaces of the cushions. When the first surface of at least one of the cushions sustains a force and deforms toward the second surface, the fluid in the channel is compressed to drive the second surfaces of the other cushions to deform toward the first surfaces to support the electronic device.
