Abstract

PURPOSE:To constitute compact ten-keys and function keys having sufficiently efficient operability by providing the data terminal equipment with transparent key tops, an internal sheet for displaying the contents of keys, an auxiliary switching lever for sliding the internal sheet, and a sensor for detecting the operation of the lever. CONSTITUTION:The key tops 11 are formed by transparent resin and held between a body case 12 and switch springs 23 through the case 12. A function display sheet 16 is held by a holding spring 17 and slid by depressing the auxilia ry switching lever 18, so that an operator can visually check and select functions through the key tops. When a certain key top is depressed, its corresponding switch spring 13 is pressed, a rubber contact 14 comes into contact with a corresponding contact base 15 and a control base 19 detects the contact. The state of a detecting sensor switch 20 is checked and processed as meaning corresponding to a display 21 or 22. Consequently, the ten-key and the function keys can be constituted of the key tops capable of being miniaturized without degrading operability.
