A push-button switch structure for a telephone or like equipment includes a plurality of push-buttons which respectively are received in openings of an upper casing of the equipment. An elastic sheet adapted to support the push-buttons is tightly pressed against the upper casing by a frame member, thereby maintaining the interior of the casing liquid-tight. A pin-like projection extends downwardly from the center of and inside each of the push-buttons. which protrudes upwardly beyond the upper casing, while a generally U-shaped projection extends upwardly from that portion of the sheet which is aligned with an actuator of each switch body to be mated with the pin-like projection.
Description
- The present invention relates to a push button structure for push-button switches which are used with an electronic equipment such as a telephone.
- In the art of telephones, various kinds of switches have been proposed for particular applications. For example, a push-button switch arrangement which fulfills the function of a dial comprises a plurality of push-buttons which are received in a plurality of openings formed through the outer surface of the casing of a telephone. The push-buttons each being engraved with a numeral or like symbol are manipulatable from outside the telephone casing. In another example, the outer surface of a telephone casing is partly covered with an elastic sheet, or pad, and switches are arranged below the elastic sheet.
- The problem with the push-buttons which are received in the openings is that drops of water and other impurities easily enter the casing of the telephone through the outer surface of the telephone, bringing about various problems in practical use. Meanwhile, the elastic sheet scheme, although it offers a liquid-tight structure, renders the manipulation awkward due to the sheet which constitutes the outer surface of the telephone casing and, thereby, often invites erroneous manipulations. In addition, such a sheet imposes limitations on the design of a telephone.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a reliable push-button switch structure for a telephone or the like which prevents waterdrops and other impurities from entering the equipment
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a push-button switch structure for a telephone or the like which is easy and efficient to manipulate.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a push-button switch structure for a telephone or the like which enhances freedom of design.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a push-button switch structure for a telephone or the like which is easy to assemble.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a generally improved push-button switch structure for a telephone or the like.
- A push-button switch structure for use in an electronic equipment of the present invention comprises a casing made up of an upper casing part and a lower casing part which are assembled in an integral configuration, the upper casing being formed with a plurality of through openings, a plurality of push-buttons which respectively are received in the through openings to protrude outwardly beyond the upper casing, an elastic sheet member formed with retaining means integrally therewith for retaining the push-buttons such that each of the push-buttons is movable through the associated through opening when manipulated from outside, and a dealing member liquid-tightly isolating an interior of the casing from the outside by pressing peripheral portions of the elastic sheet member tightly against peripheral portions of an underside of the upper casing where the through openings are positioned.
- In accordance with the present invention, a push-button switch structure for a telephone or like equipment includes a plurality of push-buttons which respectively are received in openings of an upper casing of the equipment. An elastic sheet adaped to support the push-buttons is tightly pressed against the upper casing by a frame member, thereby maintaining the interior of the casing liquid-tight. A pin-like projection extends downwardly from the center of and inside each of the push-buttons, which protrudes upwardly beyond the upper casing, while a generally U-shaped projection extends upwardly from that portion of the sheet which is aligned with an actuator of each switch body to be mated with the pin-like projection.
- The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompaying drawings.
-
- Figs. 1-3 are fragmentary vertical sections each showing a telephone to which a particular example of various prior art push-button switch structures is applied;
- Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a telephone to which a push-button switch structure embodying the present invention is applied;
- Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional side elevation of the telephone shown in Fig. 4; and
- Fig. 6 is a perspective view demonstrating engagement of a push button and an elastic sheet in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention.
- While the push-button switch structure for a telephone or the like of the present invention is susceptible of numerous physical embodiments, depending upon the environment and requirements of use, a substantial number of the herein shown and described embodiment have been made, tested and used, and all have performed in an eminently satisfactory manner.
- To better understand the present invention, a brief reference will be made to some examples of prior art push-button switch structures for a telephone and others, shown in Figs. 1-3.
- Referring to Fig. 1, a push-button switch structure which is installed in a telephone or the like is shown. A push-button mechanism, generally 10, serves the dialing function and comprises a plurality of push-
buttons 12 which are integral with aswitch body 14. Atelephone 16 includes anupper casing 16a which constitutes an operating section, and alower casing 16b. Theupper casing 16a is formed with a plurality ofopenings 18 therethrough. The push-button mechanism 10 is fixed in place by asupport plate 20 with the push-buttons 12 inserted into theopenings 18 from below. The problem with this kind of structure is that drops of water are apt to enter the telephone through the clearances between the edges of theopenings 18 and those of the push-buttons 12, often inviting malfunctions. - Referring to Fig. 2, a push-
button mechanism 22 comprises a plurality of push-buttons 24 each of which is operatively mounted in aswitch body 26 which in turn is rigidly mounted on asupport plate 28. Meanwhile, theupper casing 16a of thetelephone 16 is partly removed and has the removed area covered with an elastic sheet, or pad, 30. Themechanism 22 is disposed in thetelephone 16 below theelastic pad 30 in such a manner that the push-buttons 24 make light contact with the underside of thepad 30. Although such a strcuture is superior to the structure of Fig. 1 concerning liquid-tightness, the operationability is poor because an individual has to manipulate the push-buttons 24 from above thepad 30. - Referring to Fig. 3, a push-
button mechanism 32 comprisespush buttons 34 which are similar to those of Fig. 1 and apad 36 which is similar to that of Fig. 2, the push-buttons 34 and thepad 36 being formed integrally with each other. Theupper casing 16a of thetelephone 16 is provided with a plurality ofopenings 38, while aframe member 40 which is dimensioned large enough to surround theopenings 38 is fixed to theupper casing 16a inside thetelephone 12. Theintegral push buttons 34 andpad 36 are rigidly supported by theupper casing 16a and theframe member 40. Disposed below and aligned with thepush buttons 34 are theswitch bodies 26 andactuators 42 which respectively are associated with theswitch bodies 26. Theswitch bodies 26 andactuators 42 are mounted on asupport plate 44 such that theactuators 42 remain in light contact with the underside of their associated push-buttons 34. The dilemmatic situation with this kind of structure is that while each of the push-buttons 34 needs to be hard enough to promote efficient manipulation, thepad 40 needs to be elastic enough for theactuators 42 to be depressed. - The present invention constitutes a solution to the various problems particular to the prior art push-button switch structures as discussed above. Particularly, the present invention constitutes an improvement over the structure of Fig. 3 and allows the
push buttons 34 and thepad 36 to be formed independently of each other and assembled together afterwards. - A push-button switch structure embodying the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 4-6. In Figs. 4-6, the same or similar structural elements as those shown in Fig. 3 are designated by like reference numerals.
- The structure of the present invention, generally 46, shares the same construction with the structure of Fig. 3 concerning the
upper casing 16a andlower casing 16b of thetelephone 16, theframe 40, thesupport plate 44, theswitch bodies 26 and their associatedactuators 42 and, therefore, description of such parts and elements will be omitted. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, thestructure 46 comprises a plurality of push-buttons 48 each of which is provided with a pin-like projection 50 at the center of its interior and inserted into a corresponding one of theopenings 38 of theupper casing 16a from below to extend upwardly beyond theupper casing 16a. Meanwhile, asheet 52 which is made of rubber or like elastic material is provided with a plurality of generally U-shapedprojections 54 on its upper surface, theprojections 54 respectively being associated with theprojections 50 of the push-buttons 48. A plurality oflugs 56 extend downwardly from the lower surface of thesheet 52 to face theactuators 42 of theswitch bodies 26. The U-shapedprojections 54 on the upper surface of thesheet 52 respctively are mated with the pin-like projections 50 of the push-buttons 48, while thelugs 56 on the lower surface of thesheet 52 are located close to, or substantially in contact with, theactuators 42 of theswitch bodies 26. - In the construction shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the
sheet 52 is tightly pressed along its edges bystepped portions 40a of theframe member 40 againstprojections 58 which extend in the peripheral portions of the underside of theupper casing 16a. Such insures liquid-tightness and prevents drops of water and others which would damage theswitch bodies 26 and others from penetrating into the telephone through theupper casing 16 a. In addition, the configuration of thepush buttons 48 which does not have to be sheet-like frees the telephone from design limitations and promotes easy and efficient manipulation. - Further, in this particular embodiment, electrical circuit elements of the
telephone 16 may be mounted on thelower casing 16b and the push-buttons 48 and others of the operating section of thetelephone 16, on theupper casing 16a. Hence, the subassembly associated with theupper casing 16a and that associated with thelower casing 16b can be produced independently of each other. - Various modifications will become possible for those skilled in the art after receiving the teachings of the present disclosure without departing from the scope thereof.
