Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a door switch structure which is low in part and assembly cost with no appearance impaired for the front and rear door surfaces, and make it possible to stick each printed sheet for 'method of application', 'caution' and the like on the rear surface of a door in regard to a door switch structure generally used for the electric appliances. CONSTITUTION:When the embossing section 3a of a sheet shaped switch 3 is depressed in a state that the switch is closely attached to a main body 2 with a door 1 closed, a spacer 4 is then depressed. Furthermore, a sheet 5 on which 'method of application', 'caution' and the like are printed, is then strained, and finally a main body switch 6 set in the main body 2 is depressed, so that input is thereby recognized. Therefore, sticking the sheet shaped switch on the surface of the door does not impair appearance at all with no decorative plate used. Moreover, sticking the sheet on the rear surface of the door does not impair appearance either. Furthermore, the aforesaid switch concurrently acts as a comment seal, and it can be dispensed with less parts in number.

However, in the first conventional door switch structure, since the appearance of the door 1 is impaired, the decorative plate 8 must be attached to the front surface of the door 1 and the rear surface thereof must be attached. The cut-out leaf spring-shaped switch 1a is completely exposed to the outside, and the appearance is remarkably impaired. In addition, it is possible to attach a sheet on which comments such as usage of the device and notes are printed. This is impossible because it hinders the operation of the switch 1a. Furthermore, since it is necessary to form the leaf-spring-shaped switch 1a in the shape of the door 1 and the decorative plate 8 is necessary, there is a problem that the cost is very high. Was.

Also in the second conventional door switch structure, the leaf spring-shaped switch 9 and the mounting portion of the leaf spring-shaped switch 9 are completely visible from the back surface, and the appearance is significantly impaired, and the device on the back surface is damaged. It is impossible to attach a sheet on which comments such as usage and precautions are printed because it interferes with the operation of the leaf spring switch 1a. Furthermore, there is a problem that the cost is very high because the leaf spring-shaped switch 9 has to be newly formed and the number of mounting steps is required.

The third conventional door switch structure is also
The rubber-like switch 10 and the flat plate 11 with holes are visible from the back side of the door 1 and the appearance is significantly impaired, and a sheet on which comments such as how to use the device and notes are printed on the back side. It was impossible to attach the switch because it hinders the operation of the leaf spring-shaped switch 1a. Further, there is a problem that the cost of the rubber-shaped switch 10 and the flat plate 11 having the hole is increased, which is very expensive.

Therefore, in order to solve such a conventional problem, the present invention does not impair the outer appearance of the front surface and the back surface of the door, the parts cost and the assembly cost are low, and the method of using the device on the back surface of the door, The purpose is to obtain a door switch structure that can be pasted with a sheet on which comments such as notes are printed.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the door switch structure of the present invention is such that the door provided to cover the switch provided in the main body is electrically operated by simply pushing the switch provided in the main body. In a door switch structure in which a switch without a contact is attached, and a switch provided in the main body is pushed by pressing a switch attached to the door in a state where the door is closed, the main body recognizes an input. First, a sheet-like switch is attached to the surface of the door. Secondly, a sheet is attached to the back surface of the door.
Thirdly, a spacer is provided between the sheet-shaped switch attached to the front surface of the door and the sheet attached to the back surface of the door. Fourthly, at least one of the sheet-shaped switch attached to the front surface of the door and the sheet attached to the back surface of the door is printed with a comment statement such as a device usage method and notes. It is characterized by being
