US Patent 9910493 Suspension component for a haptic touch panel assembly

A suspension component for coupling a touch panel to a substrate in a haptic touch panel assembly. The suspension component includes a flexible connector that extends between a first end adapted for attachment to the touch panel and a second end adapted for attachment to the substrate. The flexible connector includes a concave section, an axial side wall, and a mobility gap and is shaped to allow the touch panel to move with respect to the substrate with three or more degrees of freedom, thereby facilitating more accurate and dynamic haptic feedback.
