る。 This type of keyboard switch, as shown in FIG. It has another contact pattern 5 which is arranged to form a switch operation space 3 and is arranged under an insulating spacer 4 to perform a special switch operation in correspondence with each of the contact patterns 1. A flexible switch sheet 6 is integrally formed of a plastic film member with its click operation portion facing downward, and the switch sheet 6
A fixing member 8 is disposed below to form an air space 7 necessary for causing a click action, and a fixing member 8 is provided to fix and support the members above including the switch seat 6, and the space between these constituent members. It has a tactile type keyboard switch structure which can basically be constructed from a bonding layer 9 made of adhesive or the like.

狭い場合に著しい。 When operating such a keyboard switch, if a portion between the two operating sections is pressed, there is a risk that the keys around the pressed portion may malfunction. Therefore, if a crosspiece 10 is provided in the middle as shown in FIG. 2 to prevent malfunction, the operating pressure and the click return force will increase. In particular, since the increase in the return force tends to be larger than the increase in the operating pressure, it reduces the click rate, which is expressed as the ratio of the difference between the operating pressure and the return force to the operating pressure, and inhibits the feel of the click. Put it away. This property is particularly noticeable when the distance between the operating parts is narrow.

In FIG. 12 is a spacer; 13 is a switch sheet integrally formed with a plastic film member with its click action section facing downward to cause a click action; 14 is a contact pattern formed on the inner surface of the click action section; 15 is a contact pattern formed on the inner surface of the click action section; A member for supporting and fixing the structural members, 16 is a space for housing the above-mentioned click operation part, and 17 is a crosspiece between the operating parts, which is not joined to the switch seat 13 and is shown in the figure. 18 indicates a bonding layer between each component. According to this structure of the keyboard switch, even if you accidentally press the middle part of the operation part during operation, the crossbar 1
7, and no input is made to the surrounding operating sections. In addition, since the crosspiece 17 is not joined to the switch seat 13, a degree of freedom is given to the operation of the operating section, and an increase in the switch operating pressure and return force can be prevented, thereby favorably increasing the reliability of the switch operation.

ものである。 As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the keyboard switch capable of snap operation or click operation according to the present invention, the keyboard switch is integrated with a member that supports and fixes a switch seat having a downwardly formed click operation portion of the keyboard switch. Alternatively, a separately formed crosspiece is provided, and the crosspiece is arranged between each click operation area of the switch sheet and arranged at a required interval without contacting the switch sheet. Therefore, even if you accidentally press the middle part between the operating parts during operation, it will be supported by the crosspiece and no input will be made to the surrounding operating parts, so that erroneous switch operations can be reliably prevented. Also, since this crosspiece has a slight gap without being joined to the switch sheet,
It is designed to give a degree of freedom in the operation of the operating part and ensure good switch operating pressure and return force.
The operability of this type of keyboard switch capable of snap or click operation can be greatly improved.
