力に対する耐久性が大きい。[Operation] Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the elasticity imparting portion is mainly torsionally deformed by the pressing of the push button to generate an elastic force. Further, since the elasticity imparting portion has a large strength in the pressing direction of the push button, it has a high durability against shearing force.
［実施例］ 第１図は本考案による押ボタン装置の一実施例を示す見
取図である。[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of a push button device according to the present invention.

行う。In the figure, a sixth point is that the main body 1 is connected to the mounting portion 5.
Similar to the figure, in this case, instead of the hinge portion 4, a connecting portion 6 having sufficient strength is used. Further, the connecting portion 6 is attached to the supporting portion 5a of the attaching portion 5, and at the lower portion of the supporting portion 5a, there are provided cavities 5b divided by the columns 5c for each push button body 1, respectively. Connection part 6
The supporting portion 5a to which is attached is thinned to perform a hinge operation.
以上の構成による動作を第２図及び第３図に従って詳細
に説明する。図中、第７図と同様の部分には同一の符号
を付してその説明を省略する。The operation of the above configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the figure, those parts which are the same as those corresponding parts in FIG. 7 are designated by the same reference numerals, and a description thereof will be omitted.
今第２図（イ）の如く頭部２を矢印12方向に押圧する

性を極めて大きくすることができる。When the head 2 is pressed in the direction of the arrow 12 as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the thin support portion 5a as shown in FIG. 2 (b) is torsionally deformed and tilted rearward. FIG. 3 is a sketch showing a state of pressing, in which the front part of the support part 5a is lifted, the push button is tilted rearward, and the operation part 3 operates a switch (not shown). In this case, since the supporting portion 5a is thin and wide in the pressing direction, the supporting portion 5a is twisted and deformed at the time of pressing to give a restoring force to the push button body 1. Further, by forming the support portion 5a wide in the pressing direction in this manner, durability against shearing force can be extremely increased.

A hinge portion 5e is provided by extending the rear end of the support portion 5a, and the hinge portion 5e is connected to the end portion of the connecting portion 6. When the head portion 2 of such a push button is pressed, the hinge portion 5e extended from the support portion 5a elastically deforms together with the support portion 5a, and the main body 1 falls rearward and the switch can be operated.
