For example, display 3 is printed. Thereafter, the surface of the molded body 5, especially the surface of the protruding portion 2', is plated with metal to give it a feel and appearance similar to that of a metal paste.
For example, a metal surface layer is formed by electroless plating and electroplating thereon. In this way, for example, the printed part of display 3 will not be plated,
This remains as Display 3. However, it is not limited to performing the plating process after printing the display 3 as described above, but it is also possible to form the display 3 by printing or the like after the plating process.

ようになされる。 Next, the protruding portion 2' of the molded body 5 is attached to the substrate 4.
Then, the operating knobs are cut out and the operating knobs, that is, the protrusions 2' are fitted back into the original position on the substrate 4, so to speak, a pushback process is performed. This pushback is, for example, the third
As shown in the figure, an upper mold 6 and a lower mold 7 having abutting surfaces 6a and 7a having irregularities corresponding to the molded body 5 are provided. The upper mold 6 and the lower mold 7 each have movable molds 6b and 7b in their respective portions for molding the protrusion 2', and these are substantially perpendicular to the plate surface of the substrate 4 with respect to the other fixed molds 6c and 7c. It is made possible to move in any direction.

孔8を穿設する。 A molded body 5 is placed between these upper mold 6 and lower mold 7.
While holding the movable molds 6b and 7b in each protrusion 2' down as shown in FIG.
Each protruding part 2' is punched and cut from the base plate 4 to cut out the operating knob 2 made up of these protruding parts 2', and a punch hole 8 corresponding to the knob 2 is bored in the base plate 4 by this cutting.

成し置くこともできる。 In this way, as shown in FIG. 6, the same molded body 5 as the initial molded body shown in FIG. 2 is restored. (knobs 2) are fitted into their respective punch holes 8 and held in a positional relationship that matches the positional relationship of the operating knobs finally obtained by the base plate 4, and each protrusion 2' (knob 2) is 2) is in a state where it can escape from the punch hole 8. Incidentally, when cutting each protruding part 2' from the substrate 4, the cutting is done leaving a part of the periphery of the protruding part 2', so that a flange part 9 is formed that protrudes from the periphery in each direction. Form knob 2. Note that when the thickness of the molded body 5 is selected to be 0.5 mm to 2 mm, for example 1 mm, the cutting of these protrusions 2', that is, the punching of the operating knob 2, is performed using the upper mold 6 and lower mold 7 described above. However, in order to do this more easily and reliably, when molding the molded body 5 shown in FIG. It is also possible to form protrusions, which serve as so-called cutting blades of the molded body 5, on the periphery of the lower surface of the movable die 6b of the above-mentioned upper die 6.
このようにして、操作摘子2が、基板4の抜き

The control panel 1 is placed opposite the control panel 1. That is, the base plate 4 is opposed to the operation plate 1 with the required spacing and positional relationship using an appropriate jig (not shown) as necessary, and the head of each operation knob 2 is drilled into the operation plate 1. 2. Insert each operated knob into the insertion hole 10.

This contact mechanism 11 has, for example, an insulating substrate 12 mounted to face the operation panel 1 with a required distance therebetween, and a so-called printed wiring circuit, for example, on the side of the substrate 12 facing the operation panel 1. A contact circuit section 13 is provided. Further, an elastic body 14 having elasticity, such as rubber, is provided opposite to the substrate 12. This elastic body 14
is provided with a cap body portion 15 that faces each operation knob 2 and protrudes toward the operation plate 1 side, and a movable contact portion 16 for opening/closing or switching the contact circuit portion 13 is provided on the inner surface of these cap body portions 15. It is made up of Then, by forcibly crushing the cap body part 15 by pressing each operating knob 2 from the outer end of the operating plate 1, and bringing the contacts 16 into contact with the contact circuit part 13, the knob An operating section is configured in which various operations for opening, closing, or switching each contact point are performed by pressing and releasing 2. Note that this operation section can be connected to the 10th
As shown in the figure, the contact mechanism 11 is installed inside the case 17.
is accommodated. However, it goes without saying that the configuration of the operating section may take various forms, such as in some cases the case itself may constitute the base plate 12 of the contact mechanism 11.

その工業的利益は甚大である。 As described above, in the present invention, the arrangement of the plurality of operation knobs 2 with respect to the operation panel 1 is
The knobs 2 were molded in a predetermined positional relationship with each other as protrusions 2' integrally molded with the base plate 4, and then punched out and returned to their original positions to maintain the predetermined positional relationship with each other. The handles are handled as they are, and when they are finally attached to the operation panel 1, they are separated from each other, making the installation work more efficient even when there are a large number of knobs 2, such as in a desktop computer. In particular, it is possible to eliminate misplacement on the operation panel 1 that occurs when handling the knobs 2 individually, which further improves mass production and reduces costs.
Its industrial benefits are enormous.
