Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a structure in which overload push on plural switches can be prevented by providing a cushioning means at a support part of a circuit board on which the switches are installed. CONSTITUTION:A cushioning mechanism 5 comprising a spring is provided between a circuit board 3 on which switches are installed and a chassis for preventing overload push on the tact switches 2. As a switch button 1 is pushed in the direction of an arrow, pushing force is applied on the tact switch 2 first to complete switching action. At this time, even when the pushing force is excessively large or shocking, a circuit board 3 is held by a guide rib 41 while it is moved in a pushing force applied direction to absorb it by the cushioning mechanism 5, so the tact switch 2 will not be broken. By the single cushioning means, therefore, overload push on the plural switches 2 on the electric circuit board can be prevented.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining its operation. A switch button 1 for operating a switch from outside the device includes a switch operating portion 11, a fixed portion 12, and a hinge portion 13, which are integrally formed. Reference numeral 2 is a tact switch, and 3 is a circuit board to which the tact switch 2 is attached. The housing 4 supporting the switch button 1 is formed integrally with a guide rib 41 that guides the circuit board 3. 5

In the switch mechanism constructed as shown in FIG. 1, when the switch button 1 is pushed in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. 2, first, a pushing force acts on the tact switch 2 to complete the switch operation. . At this time, even if the pushing force is excessive or shocking, the tactile switch 2 is damaged because the buffer board 5 moves and absorbs the pushing force while holding the circuit board 3 on the guide rib 41. There is no such thing.
