Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a push button device mounted on a door provided on the front side of the device body, and particularly to a VTR-? The present invention relates to a push button device suitable for a CD player.

[Conventional technology]

Some VTRs, CD players, and other electronic devices are equipped with push button devices for operation. A conventional push button device of this type, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-15105, has a plurality of operating levers corresponding to push buttons rotatably supported on a single shaft, and the operating levers are When one end of the lever is pressed down, the other end operates the switch section.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, each of the operating levers is assembled one by one on a common shaft, and is configured to protrude from the front of the device body. As a result, the push button device had a large number of component parts (the mechanism was complicated, and the assembly process was complicated. Also, the operating lever protruded from the device body, making it difficult to operate). There was a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a push button device which solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, has a simple configuration, does not affect the installation space of the device body, and has improved operability.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is to provide a row of integrally molded buttons with rotating bearings at both ends, the center of rotation at the same position as the door, each connected to an elastic piece and a connecting rod that comes into contact with an electronic switch, and with a hollow center. This is accomplished by providing an integrally molded door with rotating bearings at both ends, inserting the row of buttons into the cavity of the door, and supporting each rotating bearing on a shaft provided on the front panel side of the main body of the device.

[Effect]

The button row is inserted into the cavity provided in the door, and the door and the button row are rotated together with respect to the front panel of the device body, so the button row can be operated by opening the door, and the button row can be operated by opening the door. When closed, the button row is stored.

The same reference numerals as in the figure indicate the same parts.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, button row 1 is button section 1.
α and the connecting portion 1b are connected to the fixed portion 1d by the elastic deformation portion 10, and these are integrally molded, and rotation bearings 1e are formed at both ends.

FIG. 7 is a flat WJ diagram showing the door as a single item, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view thereof, in which 2α is a buttonhole, 2b is a cavity, and 2C is a rotary shaft bearing.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, n2 has a cavity 2b with a buttonhole 2α opened, and rotates to engage with a rotation shaft sb (FIG. 1) provided on the front panel of the main body of the device at both ends. A bearing 2C is formed and the whole is integrally molded.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the button row, with the first
The same reference numerals as in the figure indicate the same parts.

As shown in the figure, button row 1 includes button 1α and connecting portion 1.
b, and an elastically deformable portion 10 that connects the button 1α and the connecting portion 1b to the fixed portion 1d, and is configured such that the button 1α and the connecting portion 1b can be displaced with respect to the fixed portion 1d.

FIG. 10 is a sectional view of the door, and the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 indicate the same parts.

As shown in the figure, the door 2 has a buttonhole 2α and a cavity 2b having an opening on the rotating shaft 20 side.

The button row 1 shown in Fig. 9 is the 10th button from the direction of the small arrow.
The button row 1 is inserted into the cavity 2b of the door 2 in the direction of the thick arrow shown in the figure, and assembled together so that the button y1α protrudes outward (upward in the figure) from the button hole 2α. After combining, the rotary bearing 1e of button row 1 (Fig. 5, 6
(Fig. 2) and the door 20 rotation bearing 20 is connected to the rotating ring 3b of the front panel 3 (Fig. 2).

It is attached to the main body of the device by engaging it in FIG. 4).

As a result, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the recess 3α of the front panel 3 of the main body of the apparatus is removed.

Original sin 2 and the button row can be opened and closed integrally.

When the door 2 is opened from the front panel 3 of the main body of the device,
Since a button row 1 appears on the back side of the door 2, the user can control the device by pressing the button 1α. As shown in FIG. 2, the button 1α
When pressed down, the connecting portion 1b connected to the button 1α comes into contact with the electronic switch 4 to operate it. The return of the button 1b is performed by the elasticity of the elastically deformable portion 1c.

As described above, according to the above embodiment, when the button row is used, the button operation becomes possible by opening the door, and when the button row is not used, it is stored in the recess of the device main body together with the door, so that the button operation part can be used in the device. does not affect the installation space.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the structure of the push button is simplified to reduce costs, its assembly is easy, and the button operation part does not always protrude from the main body of the device, making it extremely easy to use. Therefore, it is possible to provide a push button device with excellent functions by eliminating the drawbacks of the prior art described above.
