Abstract
A button mechanism includes a base, a button and two resilient components. The base includes an accommodating slot structure and two guiding pillars, the pillars are disposed by sides of the accommodating slot structure. The button includes a pressing portion and two supporting portions. The pressing portion is movably disposed inside the accommodating slot structure. The supporting portions are respectively disposed by opposite sides of the pressing portion. A first end of the supporting portion is connected to the pressing portion, and a second end of the supporting portion is slidably disposed on the guiding pillar. Two ends of the resilient component respectively contact against an optical disk driver and the supporting portion. The supporting portion slides relative to the guiding pillar to compress the resilient component, and a resilient recovering force of the resilient component drives the supporting portion to slide relative to the guiding pillar inversely.
