If the thickness of the first elastic member is 50 ⁇ m or more, a sufficient thickness for compressive deformation can be ensured, so that design tolerance can be reliably absorbed during mounting. And if thickness is 700 micrometers or less, since the fall of the sensitivity resulting from the thickness increase by an elastic member is also few, there is almost no possibility that a malfunction will arise in contact detection. Further, the thickness is more preferably 250 ⁇ m or less. When the first elastic member is provided, the distance from the surface of the exterior member to the sensor sheet is increased. However, if the thickness of the first elastic member is 250 ⁇ m or less, the first elastic member has a lower sensitivity than an increase in the distance. This is because the effect of eliminating the adverse effect of the air layer due to the absence can be enhanced, and the sensitivity can be increased as compared with the case where the first elastic member is not provided.

- the fitting receiving portion 14 a is an attaching / detaching means that can be attached to and detached from the exterior member 12.
- the mounting plate 14 is made of hard resin.
- the same hard resin as the exterior member 12 may be used, and a relatively hard rubber or elastomer may be used. More specifically, it is preferable that the hardness is D60 or more according to JIS K6253. If it is less than D60, the mounting plate 14 is easily deformed, and the accuracy of the mounting position and the like may be insufficient. In the case where a rubber material or an elastomer is used, it is preferable that a predetermined bending allowance is provided and the outer member 12 is pressed.
- the back surface of the sensor sheet 13 is fixed to the front surface of the mounting plate 14 through the adhesive layer 16, and the sensor sheet 13 and the mounting plate 14 are integrated.
- a unit 15 is formed.
- the sensor sheet 13 is attached to the attachment plate 14 because the sensor sheet 13 is attached to the surface of the attachment plate 14 that is raised like a dome. This is easier to operate than fixing the sensor sheet 13 inside the exterior member 12 having a concave shape.
- the sensor sheet 13 can be bent along the surface when attached to the attachment plate 14, but may be deformed in advance to a shape along the surface of the attachment plate 14 or the back surface of the exterior member 12 before attachment. .

Therefore, when a defect is found in the exterior member 12 or the sensor sheet 13, they can be separated and only one of them can be replaced.
- the exterior product 21 of the present embodiment is different from the exterior product 11 shown in the above embodiment in that the first elastic member 27 is provided on the surface side of the sensor sheet 13.
- the first elastic member 27 is a member for further improving the adhesion between the sensor sheet 13 and the exterior member 12.
- the first elastic member 27 is provided on the surface side of the sensor sheet 13, and preferably has a larger outer shape than the sensor region 12b and the sensor electrode 13a in plan view. This is because it is preferable that the entire back surface of the sensor region 12b and the entire surface of the sensor region 13a of the sensor sheet 13 are in close contact with each other.
- the first elastic member 27 may be provided on the entire surface of the sensor sheet 13, but it is preferable to provide the first elastic member 27 individually at a location corresponding to the sensor region 12 b. The reason for this is that the first elastic member 27 is more likely to be compressed and deformed, and the compression load can be reduced if it is provided separately.
- the thickness of the first elastic member 27 is preferably 50 ⁇ m to 700 ⁇ m. If it is less than 50 ⁇ m, it may not be possible to absorb mounting design tolerances. On the other hand, when the thickness exceeds 700 ⁇ m, the sensitivity is deteriorated, and there is a possibility that a malfunction may occur in contact detection.
- the thickness is more preferably 250 ⁇ m or less. This is because if the thickness is 250 ⁇ m or less, the sensitivity can be increased more easily than when the first elastic member 27 is not used.
- the first elastic member 27 can be formed of a flexible rubber, an elastomer, or a foam such as sponge. This is because even if the back surface of the exterior member 12 has irregularities, it can follow the irregularities and adhere to them. Moreover, the material which is hard to be damaged even if it uses repeatedly is preferable.
- Materials having such functions include natural rubber, acrylic rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber, nitrile rubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, chloroprene rubber, ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber, chlorinated polyethylene.
- Cross-linked rubber such as rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, butyl rubber, halogenated butyl rubber, fluorine rubber, urethane rubber, and silicone rubber, styrene-butadiene block copolymer and its hydrogenated polymer, styrene-isoprene block copolymer and The hydrogenated polymer, styrene thermoplastic elastomer, olefin thermoplastic elastomer, vinyl chloride thermoplastic elastomer, polyester thermoplastic elastomer, polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer, and polyamide thermal Thermoplastic elastomers such as plastic elastomers.
- the dielectric constant of the foam is low, it is preferable to use rubber or an elastomer material.
- Silicone rubber is preferred from the viewpoints of heat resistance, weather resistance, and flexibility. From the viewpoint of durability and adhesion, polyurethane-based thermoplastic elastomers, resins and urethane rubbers are also suitable.
- the hardness of the first elastic member 27 is preferably A60 or less in terms of the A hardness defined by JIS K6253. If the hardness exceeds A60, the compressive load increases, and there is a possibility that the exterior member 12 may be distorted, or that the followability to the unevenness may be insufficient when the adherend surface is uneven. Because.
- a filler that increases the dielectric constant, such as fine powder of barium titanate, can be added to the first elastic member 27, for example.
- the sensitivity of the sensor can be increased.
- the thickness of the first elastic member 27 is thick, it is possible to obtain the exterior product 21 in which the sensitivity of the sensor is hardly lowered.
- the exterior product 21 includes the first elastic member 27 between the exterior member 12 and the sensor sheet 13, even if there is a step on the back surface of the exterior member 12, the first elastic member 27 is flexibly deformed to the step. It is possible to follow, and generation of an air layer can be suppressed. Therefore, even if there is a step on the back surface of the exterior member 12, it is possible to suppress the influence of variations in sensor sensitivity caused by the air layer.
- the exterior product 31 of the present embodiment is different from the exterior product 11 shown in the previous embodiment in that a second elastic member 38 made of an elastic material is provided on the back side of the sensor sheet 13.
- the second elastic member 38 is also a member for further improving the adhesion between the sensor sheet 13 and the exterior member 12.
- the second elastic member 38 can be fixedly provided on the back surface of the sensor sheet 13 or the surface of the mounting plate 14.
- the outer shape is larger than the sensor region 12b and the sensor electrode 13a in plan view. This is because it is preferable that the entire back surface of the sensor region 12b and the entire surface of the sensor region 13a of the sensor sheet 13 are in close contact with each other.
- the 2nd elastic member 38 may be provided in the whole back surface of the sensor sheet
- the second elastic member 38 can be formed of a polymer elastic material 38a and can be made of the same material as the first elastic member 27 of the second embodiment.
- the thickness of the second elastic member 38 is preferably 0.2 mm to 2 mm. If it is less than 0.2 mm, it may not be possible to absorb the mounting design tolerance. On the other hand, even if it exceeds 2 mm, the absorption of design tolerances and the mounting workability do not change, so the thickness becomes useless.
- the exterior article 31 includes the second elastic member 38 between the mounting plate 14 and the sensor sheet 13
- the sensor sheet 13 can be pressed against the sensor sheet 13 while the second elastic member 38 is compressively deformed. In the range, an error in dimensional accuracy of the exterior member 12 and the mounting plate 14 can be absorbed.
- a leaf spring 38b can be used instead of an elastic material.
- the leaf spring 38b is continuous from the mounting plate 14, and is formed by a U-shaped slit in plan view.
- An exterior product 31a having a leaf spring 38b is shown in FIG.
- the sensor sheet 13 can be pressed against the second elastic member 38 while being compressed and deformed. Therefore, an error in dimensional accuracy of the exterior member 12 and the mounting plate 14 can be absorbed within the range of the compression deformation.
- the leaf spring 38b it is preferable to use a resin having spring elasticity as the mounting plate 35. More specifically, polycarbonate resins, polyacetal resins, polyether ether ketones, and relatively hard rubbers or elastomers having an A hardness specified by JIS K6253 exceeding A60 can be mentioned.
- Combination of each embodiment The characteristic configuration of each of the embodiments described above can be combined with the configurations shown in the other embodiments by changing within a range where there is no problem. For example, it is good also as an exterior article provided with both the 1st elastic member and the 2nd elastic member.
- the exterior product including the first elastic member and the second elastic member may be the same as the first elastic member 27 in the second embodiment and the second elastic member 38 in the third embodiment, respectively.
- the thickness of the member 27 is preferably smaller than the thickness of the second elastic member 38.
- the hardness of the first elastic member 27 is preferably softer than the hardness of the second elastic member 38.
- the first elastic member 27 is compressed more than the second elastic member 38, and the followability to the back surface shape of the exterior member 12 can be enhanced.
- the sensor sensitivity can be increased by shortening the distance from the exterior member 12 to the sensor electrode 13a.
- the outer shape of the second elastic member 38 is preferably larger than the outer shape of the first elastic member 27. This is because if the second elastic member 38 is smaller than the first elastic member 27, the pressure contact of the first elastic member 27 becomes non-uniform and the sensor sensitivity may vary.
- the adhesive layer for fixing the sensor sheet 13 and the mounting plate 14 can be provided on the surface of the mounting plate 14 in place of such an example. Even if it is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 14, the sensor sheet 13 can be fixed along the surface shape, and as a result, the sensor sheet 13 and the exterior member 12 can be brought into close contact with each other.
- a box-shaped member made of polycarbonate resin having a thickness of 2 mm and having one end opened was prepared.
- the other end of the exterior member is formed flat both on the front surface and the back surface.
- a flat polycarbonate resin plate having a thickness of 2 mm was prepared as a mounting plate.
- the mounting plate has a surface shape corresponding to the shape of the back surface of the exterior member, and can be engaged from the other end side (back surface side) of the exterior member.
- a sensor sheet was prepared by forming a sensor electrode with a transparent conductive ink on a transparent PET film having a thickness of 100 ⁇ m, further forming a wiring with silver ink, and forming a resist layer with polyurethane resin ink.
- Example 1 A double-sided tape having a thickness of 50 ⁇ m was affixed to the surface of the sensor sheet, and the sensor sheet was affixed to the back surface of the exterior member to obtain an exterior product as Sample 1.
- This exterior product is a conventional exterior product produced by a conventional manufacturing method. There is no mounting plate.
- Example 2 A silicone rubber layer (upper elastic member A) having a thickness of 100 ⁇ m was integrally formed as a first elastic member on the surface of the sensor sheet.
- the sensor sheet provided with the first elastic member was fixed to the mounting plate with double-sided tape, and then the mounting plate was engaged with the back surface of the exterior member, and the sensor sheet was pressed against the back surface of the exterior member.
- an exterior product to be Sample 2 was obtained.
- Example 7 The same as Experimental Example 2, except that the sensor sheet was not provided with the first elastic member and the surface of the sensor sheet was in direct contact with the back surface of the exterior member. Thus, an exterior product to be Sample 7 was obtained.
- Example 8 A sponge sheet (first elastic member B) was prepared as a first elastic member, and the sponge sheet was attached to the surface of the sensor sheet with a double-sided tape having a thickness of 50 ⁇ m. Other than that, the exterior article used as the sample 8 was obtained by the same method as Experimental example 2.
- Repairability It was evaluated as repairability whether or not the mounting plate can be easily removed from the exterior member. Repairability was evaluated by simply dividing “easy to remove” into “ ⁇ ” and “not easy to remove” into “x” based on the ease of removal when removing the mounting plate from the exterior member.
- Sensor sensitivity About the exterior product of each of the above experimental examples, a terminal was connected to a PSoC IC (a microcomputer CY8C24894 manufactured by Cypress), and sensitivity (Diff) was measured.
- the parameters of the PSoC IC were set such that Resolution (resolution) was 13 bits (8192), Ref Value was 4, and Rb resistance was 3.3 K ⁇ .
- Sensitivity (Diff) is measured by pressing a measuring element (presser; instead of a finger) made of cylindrical conductive rubber with a diameter of 6 mm against the center of the sensor electrode, and measuring the amount of change in capacitance before and after the pressing. Asked.
- the sensitivity (%) is a relative value when the “sensitivity (Diff)” in Experimental Example 1 is set to 100.
- the sensor sensitivity was lower than that of the experimental example 1 of the conventional example, which is the target for all the samples of the experimental examples 2 to 8 using the mounting plate.
- the sensor sensitivity depends on the distance from the surface of the exterior member to the sensor sheet and the material between the exterior member and the sensor sheet.
- the first elastic member is more sensitive. In other words, the thin 50 ⁇ m double-sided tape is used.
- Experimental Example 7 although the distance is short, it is considered that the presence of the air layer due to the deterioration of the adhesion between the exterior member and the sensor sheet was affected.
- the sensitivity (%) was 91.6% in Experimental Example 7 not using the first elastic member. On the other hand, it is 92.1% in Experimental Example 3 and 98% in Experimental Example 2, and it can be seen that if the thickness of the first elastic member is 250 ⁇ m or less, the sensitivity can be improved as compared with the case where no elastic member is provided. It was. Further, comparing Experimental Examples 2 to 6, it was found that the sensitivity of the sensor is better as the thickness of the first elastic member is thinner.
- the experimental example 8 using a sponge sheet as the first elastic member was less sensitive than the experimental example 4 provided with the first elastic member made of silicone rubber having the same thickness. It seems that the sponge sheet had a large decrease in sensitivity because of its low dielectric constant due to the effect of air contained therein. Therefore, it was found that the first elastic member is preferably a material having a high dielectric constant.
- the sensitivity may be approximately 50% or more, and more preferably 75% or more compared to the conventional configuration. This is because if the sensitivity is lower than 50%, it is easily affected by noise and a malfunction is feared. From the experimental example, it was found that the thickness of the elastic member is preferably 700 ⁇ m or less.
