2. Description of the Related Art In general, a cover member for a push button switch has a plurality of push button portions in one product, and the product changes depending on the presence or absence of one push button portion. The change of the product depending on the arrangement pattern ranges from 2 to 30 types. Conventionally, a method has been used in which a mold is made for each of these products, or a product having all push buttons is formed, and after molding, unnecessary push buttons are cut off using a cutter or the like. I was

The cost is extremely high if a mold is made for each type of product due to only the presence or absence of an arbitrary push button in the same product. In addition, the method of cutting off the unnecessary push button part requires an extremely long time to cut off when the unnecessary push button part to be cut becomes 1 to 50 parts, and the size of the cut part is also stable. There was a drawback that it was difficult to obtain.

That is, according to the present invention , a cover member for a push button switch formed of a silicone elastic body having a plurality of push button portions, a movable thin portion and a base portion is formed.
Unnecessary push button part is formed in one mold when
This is a compression molding method when there is a concave portion to be formed. Specifically
Is a recess corresponding to an unnecessary push button part of the molding die
Rubber with the same or similar shape as the part,
1.0 to 1.2 times the volume depending on the coefficient of thermal expansion
Confuse. As a result, the concave portion of the mold is filled with elastic rubber.
Filled, so that the molded object is the gap between the concave part of the mold and the filling
It does not penetrate and does not damage the mold.
No. The filled filler is preferably shaped in advance so that it can be easily taken out and put in as necessary, and is preferably made of a heat-resistant rubber so that it can be used repeatedly.

The shape of the tongue portion is a column having a diameter of 3.3 mm and a height of 3.5 mm. 3.8 mm in diameter as the filling material
A columnar fluororubber having a height of 3.0 mm was prepared. Unnecessary concave portions of the mold were filled with this fluororubber and molded at 170 ° C. for 3 minutes by compression molding. As a result, a cover member for a push button switch having no unnecessary portions as a product was obtained.

According to the present invention, when forming a cover member for a push button switch, the number and arrangement of the push button portions are reduced.
For similar products of different types such as turns, there is no need to create a new mold, and costs can be significantly reduced.
In addition, since the unnecessary push button part is not formed, not only the work of cutting off the unnecessary push button part but also the part that has been discarded until now disappears,
No waste of materials.
