Abstract
A microphone includes a case, a circuit board, a plate, a cover/button element and an elastic element. The circuit board is disposed in the case and includes a transducer for receiving and converting sound waves into electric signals and a switch operable for turning on and off the circuit board. The plate is disposed in the case and defines two slots and an aperture through which the switch is exposed. A cover/button element includes at least two hooks inserted through the slots defined in the plate so that the cover/button element is movable between a normal position away from the switch of the circuit board and a pushed position in contact with the switch while always covering the case. The elastic element is sandwiched between the plate and the cover/button element for returning the cover/button element to the normal position from the pushed position.
