TOUCH INPUT DEVICE WITH BUTTON FUNCTION
First Claim
1. A touch input device with a button function, said touch input device comprising:
- a base member comprising plural perforations, wherein said plural perforations are located at a bottom side of said base member;
a touch module disposed over said base member and covering said base member, wherein when said touch module is touched and a touched position is detected by said touch module, said touch module generates a touch signal;
a triggering switch disposed on said touch module, wherein when said touch module is depressed, said triggering switch is triggered to generate a button signal corresponding to said touched position;
a coupling module disposed on a lower part of said touch module, wherein when said touch module is depressed, said coupling module is swung relative to said touch module to trigger said triggering switch; and
plural movable pads disposed on the coupling module, and penetrated through said corresponding perforations of said base member to be exposed outside said base member, wherein when said touch module is depressed, said plural movable pads are moved relative to said corresponding perforations to push said coupling module, so that said coupling module is correspondingly swung.

Abstract
A touch input device with a button function is provided. The touch input device includes a touch module, a triggering switch, a coupling module, and plural movable pads. The plural movable pads are disposed on the coupling module. The coupling module is disposed on the touch module. In addition, the coupling module may be swung relative to the touch module. When the touch module is depressed, the coupling module is pushed by the plural movable pads. Consequently, the coupling module is swung to push the triggering switch that is disposed over the coupling module. Since the plural movable pads are directly disposed on the coupling module, the force to push the triggering switch is directly transmitted from the plural movable pads to the coupling module. Under this circumstance, the touch input device can provide an enhanced tactile feel to the user.
