Is used as a down key, and a button 4 provided at the center is provided at the center of the portable communication terminal as a function setting key to constitute a so-called jog key 5. However, in the case of such a button structure, when the button arrangements are adjacent to each other, a so-called co-movement in which the button 4 operates together by the pressing operation of the buttons 1 and 2 is likely to occur.
【０００５】本発明の目的は、従来技術のこれらの問題

を可能にするようにした。In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention provides a rubber key integrated type in which an independent button is arranged at the center of a pair of button portions provided on a front case side of a portable communication terminal. In the button operation part, the pair of button parts are integrated, and a space is provided between the pair of button parts and the lower part height position of the button part to set the lower part height position of the center button part so that both buttons are pushed together. Prevention was enabled.
