Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an accumulating unit to be charged by obtaining electric energy by arranging a piezoelectric element in the interior of a key switch. SOLUTION: A piezoelectric element 3 is pressurized by means of contact of a shaft 2 in a key in a key switch 1 and the piezoelectric element 3, and electric power E occurs. The power which occurs in each key is collected to a collecter unit 5, then boosted up via a DC/DC converter 6. The power obtained thus is supplied to a battery unit 7. The power accumulated in an accumulating unit 7 can be used as electric energy by means of a control unit 8.
