KBK update for Sunday, 31st March

As noted under wiki errors, US patent 4529849 is incorrectly cited as being the patent for second- and third-generation leaf spring. In fact, it is the patent for the membrane leaf spring types. Membrane leaf spring has been mentioned at least once—as “4th gen Fujitsu leaf spring”—but not depicted.

Kiyoto in Japan has demonstrated that the Fujitsu FMR-30BX has a moulded Fujitsu membrane leaf spring keyboard, as documented in the patent. It is possible that the integrated-membrane type shown in the patent was changed to use a modified form of the existing contact assembly from the original leaf spring switches.
