It is made thin and is bent by the elasticity of the resin when the operation button 16 is pressed as shown by arrow B in FIG. In addition, a panel 19 is provided on the surface, which covers the slit 20 which is inevitably formed for integrally molding the movable operation button 16 and the housing cover 15 and also displays an explanation of the operation. On the other hand, a printed circuit board 22 to which a switch 23 necessary for operating an electronic device is directly attached is fixed to the housing body 21, and a movable portion 24 of the switch 23 is arranged so as to substantially coincide with the center of the operation button 16. ing.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the configuration of the electronic device operating device as described above, the switch on the printed circuit board whose movable part is perpendicular to the mounting direction of the switch must be used. There was a problem that the cost of securing and the cost of the switch itself was high.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems. The operation buttons are arranged on the front surface of the set, and the switch directly mounted on the printed circuit board can be operated from the front surface. It is intended to provide an electronic device operating device in which a vertically movable switch can be used.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a structure in which an operation button is integrally molded with a housing cover by resin molding, and a foot portion is provided on the operation button to push a switch on a printed circuit board by the foot portion. Is.

[0010]

[Action]

 The present invention has the above-described configuration and enables the operation of electronic devices without requiring an expensive switch.

【Example】

 An electronic device operating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an electronic device operating device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2 is a front view of an operating portion of the electronic device operating device. 1 to 3, 1 is a housing cover, 2 is an operation button, 3 is a base portion of the operation button integrally molded with the housing cover, 4 is an operation button arm portion, 5 is a panel, 6 is a slit, 7 Is a housing body, 8 is a printed circuit board, 9 is a switch, 10 is a foot portion of an operation button, 11 is a movable portion of the switch, 12 is a rib provided on the foot portion 10 of the operation button, and 13 is a molding die. The supporting recesses 14 are contact ribs.

With respect to the electronic device operating apparatus including the above components, the relationship and operation of each component will be described below.

In the electronic device operating device in which the operation buttons 2 on the front surface of the housing cover 1 are arranged, the operation buttons 2 are formed integrally with the housing cover 1, and the arms 4 thereof are attached to the base portion 3. It is made thin, and when the operation button 2 is pushed as shown by arrow A in FIG. 3, it is bent by the elasticity of the resin. Further, a panel 5 is provided on the surface, which covers the slit 6 which is inevitably formed because the movable operation button 2 and the housing cover 1 are integrally molded, and also displays an explanation of the operation. On the other hand, a printed circuit board 8 to which a switch 9 necessary for operating an electronic device is directly attached is fixed to the housing body 7, and the foot portion 10 of the operation button 2 is bent at a right angle to the arrow A and is attached to the tip. The movable portion 11 of the switch 9 is arranged so that the centers thereof are substantially coincident with each other. Further, since the dimensional accuracy of the tip of the foot portion 10 of the operation button 2 and the tip of the movable portion 11 of the switch 9 is required, it is necessary to prevent the foot portion 10 of the operation button from being deformed during molding. It is provided integrally with the foot portion 10 of the operation button, and the depression 13 is provided on the surface of the foot portion 10 of the operation button facing the rib 12 to prevent deformation of the foot 10 of the operation button during mold release. In order to accurately regulate the vertical positions of the casing body 7 and the printed circuit board 8, the contact ribs 14 are integrally formed with the casing cover 1 and are provided near the operation buttons 2.
