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

Abstract
A touch input device with a button function is provided. The touch input device includes a base member, a touch module, a triggering switch, a linking module, and plural movable pads. The plural movable pads are disposed on the linking module. The linking module is fixed on the base member through a fixing part. Moreover, the linking module is located near the triggering switch, which is disposed on the base member. When the touch module is depressed, the linking module is pushed by the plural movable pads. Consequently, the linking module is swung by using the fixing part as a fulcrum, and the triggering switch is pushed by the linking module. Since the lever arm of the linking module is longer than the lever arm of the prior technology, the touch module is depressed by a smaller force.
