Abstract

An anti-harmful impact input device has one or more than one housing space formed in its main body. Each housing space accommodates at least one gravity buffer, and an elastic buffer is intercalated between the gravity buffer and the inner wall of the housing space. The gravity buffer is made of weights, lead beads, or other massive substance, and the elastic buffer is formed of two springs, rubber, cotton, foam cotton, or thermoplastic elastomer. Each of the two ends of the gravity buffer is connected to one end of the spring, whereas the other end thereof is mated to the inner wall surface of the housing space so as to suspend the gravity buffer in the housing space with the tensile force of the spring.

Claims

1. An anti-harmful impact input device comprising:

a main body having one or more than one housing space each accommodating one or more than one gravity buffer; and

one or more than one elastic buffer intercalated between said gravity buffer and an inner wall of said housing space.

2. The input device of claim 1, wherein said gravity buffer is made of weights, lead beads, or other heavy substance.

3. The input device of claim 1, wherein said gravity buffer is formed of weights, lead beads, or other massive substance accommodated in a housing.

4. The input device of claim 1, wherein said housing space is formed in the main body of said input device.

5. The input device of claim 1, wherein said housing space is a slot formed under an upper surface of said main body of said input device.

6. The input device of claim 1, wherein said elastic buffer is made of rubber.

7. The input device of claim 1, wherein said elastic buffer is made of cotton.

8. The input device of claim 1, wherein said elastic buffer is made of foam cotton.

9. The input device of claim 1, wherein said elastic buffer is made of a thermoplastic elastomer.

10. The input device of claim 9, wherein said thermoplastic elastomer is a polyamide resin, a copolymerized polyamide, phenylethylene, or an olefin hydrocarbon.

11. The input device of claim 1, wherein said elastic buffer are springs.

12. The input device of claim 11, wherein said spring is a compression spring, an extension spring, a helical spring, a stack spring, a plate spring, a ring spring, or a disk spring.

13. The input device of claim 11, wherein each of two ends of said gravity buffer is connected to one or more than one spring so as to suspend said gravity buffer in said housing space with said springs.

14. The input device of claim 1, wherein each end of said gravity buffer is connected to one spring so as to suspend said gravity buffer in said housing space with said springs.

15. The input device of claim 14, wherein the longitudinal axial directions of said springs are perpendicular to each other.

16. The input device of claim 14, wherein the longitudinal axial directions of said springs intersect with each other at an arbitrary angle.
