Abstract

PURPOSE:To lower the cost by working plural indicators in a body and fusing and separating the connecting part when fastening by fusion to plural operation buttons. CONSTITUTION:When fastening plural indicators 5 by fusion to operation buttons, a deposition boss 9 is welded by a welding jig 12, and at the same time, the connecting part 8 is separated by fusion by a separating jig 11. Thereby, failure of fitting plural indicators 5 erroneously to unappointed operation button 4 can be prevented. At the same time, discrimination at the time of fitting plural indicators 5 to plural operation buttons 4 becomes easy. Manhour of gate cut work at the time of forming parts of indicators can be reduced, and number of parts can be reduced, and thus, effect of lowering cost is remarkable.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for attaching an indicator to an operation button, and the shape of the indicator is devised to reduce the number of steps required for attachment.

[Background of the invention]

In the conventional device, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-26103, the relationship between the operation button and the indicator is specified, but no consideration is given to a method for reducing the number of man-hours required for the indicator.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for attaching an indicator to an operating button, which can reduce the number of steps required to attach the indicator to the operating button.

[Wt of invention, essentials]

It is possible to reduce the cost by making a plurality of indicators by integral molding and melting and separating the connecting parts when welding and fixing the indicator to a plurality of operation buttons.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the first invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows an external view of a VTR using an operation button with an indicator according to the present invention, and is composed of a top case 1, a front panel 2, and a bottom panel 3. The front panel 2 is assembled with an operation button 4 to which a plurality of indicators 5 are fixed. .

FIG. 2 shows a side sectional view of a light source 7 that illuminates the operation button 4 and the indicator 5, and shows that the light from the light source 7 passes through the indicator 5, which is made of a translucent material, and appears on the surface of the operation button 4. 1 For example.

The structure is such that a mark is illuminated to indicate the operation mode, such as 〉 for playback, 〉 for stop, 〉〉 for fast forward, etc.

Figure 1lII3 shows a back view of a conventional row in which a plurality of indicators 5 are fixed to a plurality of operation buttons 4 with welding bosses 9, and at the same time, the operation buttons 4 are fixed to the front panel 2 with welding bosses 10. 6. FIGS. 4 and 5 show a state in which the integrated indicator 5 of the present invention, in which a plurality of indicators are connected by a connecting part 8, is fitted to a plurality of operation buttons 4, and the plurality of indicators 5 are An indicator of an operation button characterized in that when melting and fixing K to the operation button 4, the welding boss 9 is welded with a welding jig 12, and the connecting part 8 is melted and separated with a separation jig 11 as shown in FIG. It is a fixed method.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention described above, it is possible to prevent defects in which a plurality of indicators are mistakenly attached to an unspecified operation button, and the identification work when attaching a plurality of indicators to a plurality of operation buttons is also simplified. This reduces the number of man-hours required for gate-cutting during molding of the indicator parts, and also reduces the number of parts, resulting in a significant cost reduction effect.

Further, according to the present invention, the number of man-hours required for welding and solidifying a plurality of indicators to a plurality of operation buttons is reduced, and sticking due to incorrect attachment can be prevented, resulting in a significant °C effect.
