Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improvement of a push button of an electronic device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional push buttons, for example, as described in Utility Model Application Publication No. 51-86554, are made by integrally forming the push button and an exterior decorative board, and forming the connecting part with a thin wall so that it can swing around the thin wall part as a fulcrum. However, no consideration was given to maintaining a constant distance between the push button and the switch located at the rear of the push button, or to correcting irregularities when multiple push buttons are lined up. .

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional technology does not take into account the point of ensuring a constant distance between the push button and the switch, or the point of correcting irregularities when multiple push buttons are lined up close together, and the switch is always pressed in. There were problems such as malfunctions and uneven button presses.

An object of the present invention is to provide a push button for electronic equipment that eliminates the drawbacks of the prior art described above.

[Means for solving problems]

The above object is achieved by providing a thin elastic piece on one side of the push button made of synthetic resin and abutting the thin elastic piece against a receiving piece provided on the side of the push button fitting hole on the front panel. Ru.

[Effect]

The thin elastic piece is brought into contact with the receiving piece of the front panel with an appropriate amount of deflection so as to bias the push button in the front direction of the front panel.

As a result, the push button is always urged toward the front panel side with an appropriate pressing force, so the dimensions of the push button of the part that protrudes from the front panel and the distance between the push button and the switch are adjusted at the time of molding the push button. It is not affected by deformation, variations during assembly, etc., and can absorb errors and maintain constant dimensions.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. A push button 1 made of synthetic resin and a button locking part 11 are connected by a thin part 12, and the thin part 12
The switch 3 arranged at the rear of the push button 1 can be operated by pivoting around the push button 1 as a fulcrum. The button locking portion 11 of the push button 1 is locked by a locking pawl 21 on the front panel 2, and one side 13 of the push button 1 is locked by a locking claw 21 on the front panel 2.
A thin elastic piece portion 14 is provided in the thin elastic piece portion 14 .
An appropriate amount of deflection is applied to the thin elastic piece portion 14 so as to bias the push button 1 toward the front of the front panel 2. Give and bring into contact. As a result, the push button 1 is always pressed toward the front panel 2 until the positioning rib 15 of the button 1 comes into contact with the front panel 2, so that the push button dimension A of the portion protruding from the front panel 2 and the switch 3 It is possible to maintain a constant spacing. In addition, the push button 1 is the button locking part 1.
1, it is possible to form a plurality of them, and even in that case, the same effect can be obtained by using the above-mentioned configuration.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention, the protrusion of the pushbutton from the front panel and the distance to the switch can be kept constant, so it is possible to keep the switch pressed all the time, or conversely, the operation stroke is insufficient, resulting in malfunction. It is possible to eliminate irregularities in the arrangement of push buttons and to make them even, which has the effect of improving the appearance.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] A push button made of synthetic resin and having a pressing part protruding from a hole formed in a front panel of an electronic device to the outside, the push button having a thin wall part and a locking part inside the front panel. , and the locking claws are connected and fixed in this order, and has a thin elastic piece on one side so as to come into contact with a receiving piece provided on the side of the hole formed in the front panel. A push button on an electronic device.
