Abstract

A notebook computer input equipment having waterproof and dustproof structure includes an input equipment including input keys such as mouse function keys, reel keys and touchpad. A suitable compressed frame is located under the input keys and provided with a prescribed hole for exposing the touchpad on middle part. A suitable cushion is located under the compressed frame and provided with a prescribed opening for exposing the touchpad. A suitable compressed bar is located under the compressed frame and above the touchpad and provided with a prescribed aperture for exposing the touchpad. A notebook palmrest is provided with a prescribed cavity. Thus, a notebook computer input equipment having the waterproof and dustproof effects is achieved.

Claims
