Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To highly precisely align the tip position of a pushbutton in the operating direction of a pushbutton operating part and a gap between a panel opening part and the pushbutton operating part with a simple structure. SOLUTION: In this panel, an inclined face 2b is provided on the inside periphery of an opening part 2a for the pushbutton operating part 1a of an exterior panel 2, an inclined face 1b formed opposite to the inclined face 2b is provided on the pushbutton operating part 1a of a pushbutton 1, and the push button 1 is mounted to the exterior panel 2 so that the inclined face 2b of the exterior panel 2 is reliably brought into close contact with the inclined face 1b of the pushbutton 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a push button technology used for operating a switch of a type for connecting an electric circuit by pressing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional push button positioning structure, an opening for a button operation section of an exterior panel is constituted by a linear wall surface.
The position of the tip of the push button in the direction of operation of the push button operation unit is positioned at a position distant from the push button operation unit, and the gap between the push button and the opening of the exterior panel is defined by the outer shape of the push button operation unit, the opening wall surface and the push button. Positioning was performed at the mounting part. An example of this method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-198951.

[0003]

In the prior art, the position of the tip end of the push button in the operating direction of the push button operating section is positioned at a position distant from the push button operating section. High precision positioning, and the gap between the panel opening and the push button was determined by the outer shape of the push button operating part, the opening wall, and the mounting part of the push button remote from the button operating part. There has been a problem that the gap around the part and the push button is not uniform and high-precision positioning cannot be performed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique capable of positioning a push button tip position in a direction of operation of a push button operation section and a gap between a panel opening and a push button operation section with a high accuracy with a simple structure. I do.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, an inclined surface is provided around the inside of an opening for a push button operation part of an exterior panel, and the inclined surface of the exterior panel is also provided on the push button. The push button is slightly pressed against the exterior panel by providing an inclined surface formed so as to face the external panel, thereby positioning the push button operation unit and the exterior panel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an opening for a push button operation section viewed from the inside, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a configuration example of a push button operation unit.

The exterior panel 2 on which the push button 1 is mounted from the inside of the product includes an opening 2a for projecting the push button operating section 1a to the outside of the product and an inclined surface 2b provided around the inside of the opening 2a.
And a mounting portion 2c for fixing the push button 1. The push button 1 includes a push button operation unit 1 a and an exterior panel 2.
The switch operation unit 1c which presses the switch 3 in accordance with the pressing operation of the push button operation unit 1a disposed on the opposite side of the push button operation unit 1a and the inclined surface 1b formed opposite to the inclined surface 2b of
And an attachment portion 1d fixed to the exterior panel 2 and a push button operation portion 1
a, and a hinge portion 1e that connects and supports the switch operation portion 1c to the mounting portion 1d, and is integrally formed of synthetic resin. Further, the push button 1 is attached to the exterior panel 2 slightly so that the inclined surface 2b of the exterior panel 2 and the inclined surface 1b of the push button 1 are securely brought into close contact with each other.

The push button device having the above-described structure is arranged such that the inclined surface 2b provided around the inside of the opening 2a of the exterior panel 2 and the inclined surface 1b of the push button 1 are brought into close contact with each other, so that a desired positioning portion can be formed. Since the positioning can be performed directly at a close position, the influence of deformation and dimensional error of the push button is small. The gap 5a can be positioned with high accuracy.

[0010]

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a push button device which can position the push button tip position in the operation direction of the push button operation portion and the gap between the panel opening and the push button operation portion with high accuracy by a simple structure.
