Instruction input device
First Claim
1. An instruction input device, comprising:
- a baseboard having a pair of pivot-jointing portions disposed at proper positions thereon and formed with two correspondent pivot holes, wherein a shaft having a free end assembled and jointed with an instruction output switch is penetratingly mounted in said pivot holes;
a flexible layer assembled and jointed with said shaft on its outer circular face;
a force-bearing layer made of a material harder than said flexible layer assembled and jointed on said flexible layer at its outer circular face; and
an instruction actuation switch assembled and disposed at a position within reachable action range of said force-bearing layer;
wherein said force-bearing layer is pressed to drive said flexible layer to actuate the instruction output switch at one end of said shaft to effect an output signal; and
said flexible layer softer than said shaft and said force-bearing layer, said flexible layer is squeezed to push said force-bearing layer to in turn press said instruction actuation switch to effect an output signal.

Abstract
An instruction input device contains a baseboard having a set of pivot-jointing portions formed with two correspondent pivot holes for penetratingly disposing a shaft with a free end assembled and jointed to an instruction output switch. A flexible layer is assembled and jointed on surface of the shaft, and a coaxial force-bearing layer is further overlapped onto the flexible layer, wherein an instruction actuation switch is disposed on the baseboard at a proper position within reachable action range of the force-bearing layer. By applying the abovesaid simplified architecture, a mouse or a notebook computer with reduced weight, thickness, and size in a relatively lower cost is achievable.
