Apple notes patent for crumb and liquid resistant keyboard

Among all the new ideas of advanced technology that are patented by Apple, here is that the company decides to work on a peripheral less futuristic but whose problems cause a lot of bummer: the keyboard.
According to the site Neowin, the mark of the apple has registered a patent for a keyboard that in addition to being resistant to crumbs, still manages to bypass any spills of liquids that so boring give to clean and that leave the keys a disgrace.




As described by Apple, "mechanisms have been developed that prevent and / or relieve the entry of contaminants (such as dust, liquids, etc.)".
The patent further describes ways of forcing these contaminants out of the peripheral, such as "bellows that emit a jet of gas on the contaminants that are around the keys, forcing them into cavities on a keyboard substrate."
