  However, the operation unit of the conventional electronic device terminal is provided so as to be slightly recessed from the surface of the electronic device main body, and it is difficult to perform a pressing operation with a finger by the amount of the recess. Therefore, for example, a sticking body (sticker) for sticking to a region corresponding to the operation unit has been proposed. This sticking body protrudes with respect to the surface of the main body of the electronic device in a state of sticking to the operation unit. By sticking such a sticking body to the operation part, the pressing operation of the operation part is performed via the sticking body, so that the pressing operation of the operation part becomes easy. This type of electronic device terminal is carried in a bag or pocket, or placed on a desk or the like.

  By the way, this type of electronic device terminal is carried or placed on a desk. And a sticking body protrudes from the surface of an electronic device main body in the state stuck on the operation part. For this reason, when being carried or placed on a desk, the operation unit may be unexpectedly pressed through the sticking body by another object other than the fingers. In that case, for example, the utterance analysis / recognition interface is unexpectedly activated, which causes inconvenience.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an operation error prevention tool capable of preventing an operation unit of an electronic device terminal from being unexpectedly pressed.

In the electronic device terminal of the present invention, the operation unit misoperation prevention tool is formed so as to be recessed from the surface of the electronic device terminal carried in a bag or pocket or placed on a desk or the like. an inner bonded adherend to be stuck against the operation portion that will be operated by being pressed, an outer lamination is stuck to the electronic device terminals or contacts the outer side of the inner adhering body, or near the outer side position and a adherend, while the inner bonded adherend was attached to the operation portion, which projects from the distribution surface, the outer bonded adherend, as compared to the projected height of the arrangement surface of the inner bonded adherend It is characterized by the fact that it has a protruding part with a raised protrusion height.

  In the said structure, even if an inner side sticking body protrudes from the arrangement surface of the electronic device terminal which has arrange | positioned the operation part, an outer side sticking body is compared with the protrusion height from the arrangement surface in an inner side bonding body. By providing a protruding part with a high protruding height, the protruding part obstructs the outside adhesive body from coming into contact with the inner adhesive body when it unexpectedly presses the inner adhesive body. .

The erroneous operation preventing device of the present invention, the outer bonded adherend is formed integrally with the annular, projecting portion is a plurality spaced apart circumferentially of the integrally formed annularly Luke or outside bonded adherend, Can be adopted. According to this structure, an annular protrusion part obstructs the thing which tries to press an inner side adhesive body accidentally contacting an inner side adhesive body on the outer side of an inner side adhesive body.

In the erroneous operation preventing tool of the present invention, the outer sticking body is formed in an annular shape with a plurality of sticking body parts spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction, and each of the plurality of sticking body parts includes a protruding portion. Can be adopted. According to this configuration, an object that unexpectedly presses the inner adhesive body comes into contact with the inner adhesive body. Get in the way outside the kimono.

In the erroneous operation preventing tool of the present invention, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the operation unit is a button provided only on the arrangement surface.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the erroneous operation preventing tool of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, a first embodiment of the erroneous operation preventing tool 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the erroneous operation prevention tool 1 has an unexpected press operation on the home button (corresponding to the operation unit) of the electronic device terminal 2 represented by iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (registered trademark), etc. This is to avoid or prevent this.

  The home button 3 is arranged adjacent to the screen 4 on the surface of the electronic device terminal 2, that is, on the arrangement surface 5 that is a surface provided with the screen 4. The home button 3 is formed in a circular shape. The home button 3 is operated by being pressed, and a home screen or a homepage can be accessed by being pressed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the erroneous operation preventing tool 1 includes an inner sticking body 6 whose back side is stuck to the front surface side of the home button 3, and an outer side of the inner sticking body 6 (diameter relative to the inner sticking body 6. The outer side sticking body 7 with which the back side is stuck to the arrangement surface 5 of the electronic device terminal 2 is provided at a position near the direction outward.

  The inner side sticking body 6 protrudes from the arrangement | positioning surface 5 in the state stuck on the home button 3, and is formed in the circular shape which the center side rose. For the sticking, for example, a double-sided adhesive tape is used. The diameter of the inner sticking body 6 substantially matches the diameter of the home button 3.

  As shown in FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 3, the outer side sticking body 7 is formed in cyclic | annular form (annular form). The inner diameter dimension of the outer sticking body 7 is set slightly larger than the outer diameter dimension of the inner sticking body 6. That is, when the outer adhesive body 7 is arranged radially outward of the inner adhesive body 6, there is a radial direction between the outer peripheral edge of the inner adhesive body 6 and the inner peripheral edge of the outer adhesive body 7. A slight spacing width 8 is formed along.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the outer sticking body 7 includes an annular flat plate-like main body portion 9 attached to the arrangement surface 5 and a protruding portion 10 integrally formed on the surface side of the main body portion 9. I have. The protruding portion 10 is formed in an annular shape so as to follow the annular shape of the main body portion 9. More specifically, a chamfer 10a is applied to the radially inner edge and the radially outer edge on the surface side of the protruding portion 10, and the surface of the protruding portion 10 is an annular flat surface 10b that is a flat surface. In this case, the chamfered shape is a curved inclined surface that is inclined toward the home button 3 toward the annular center side.

  In the state where the outer adhesive body 7 is attached to the arrangement surface 5, the protruding height h <b> 1 from the arrangement surface 5 in the main body 9 and the inner adhesive body when the inner adhesive body 6 is attached to the home button 3. 6 is substantially the same as the projection height h2 from the arrangement surface 5. In the protrusion height h3 from the arrangement surface 5 in the protrusion part 10 and the protrusion height h2 from the arrangement surface 5 of the inner sticking body 6, the protrusion height h3 of the protrusion part 10 is more of the inner sticking body 6. It becomes higher than the protruding height. In addition, in the outer side sticking body 7, the protrusion height h3 of the protrusion part 10 is the height from the arrangement | positioning surface 5 to the surface (annular plane 10b) of the protrusion part 10. FIG.

  In the above-described configuration, in the erroneous operation preventing tool 1, first, the inner sticking body 6 is stuck to the surface of the home button 3, and then the outer sticking body 7 is stuck to the arrangement surface 5. If it attaches to, it will be easy to attach so that the inner side sticking body 6 and the outer side sticking body 7 may not overlap in radial direction. At this time, when the outer adhesive body 7 is arranged radially outward of the inner adhesive body 6, the radial direction is between the outer peripheral edge of the inner adhesive body 6 and the inner peripheral edge of the outer adhesive body 7. Since the outer diameter dimension of the inner sticking body 6 and the inner diameter dimension of the outer sticking body 7 are set so that a slight separation width 8 is formed along the inner sticking body 6 and the outer sticking body 7, Can be easily installed so that they do not overlap in the radial direction.

  In the erroneous operation prevention tool 1, the inner sticking body 6 protrudes from the arrangement surface 5 of the electronic device terminal 2 on which the home button 3 is arranged, so that even if the home button 3 is slightly recessed from the arrangement surface 5, the user However, by pressing the inner sticking body 6 with the finger F, the home button 3 can be pressed through the inner sticking body 6 (see FIG. 4).

  While the home button 3 is pressed by the inner sticking body 6, an outer sticking body 7 is arranged outside the inner sticking body 6. The outer sticking body 7 includes an annular projecting portion 10 projecting from the main body portion 9. From the projecting height h 3 of the projecting portion 10 from the placement surface 5 and the placement surface 5 of the inner sticking body 6. The protruding height h3 of the protruding portion 10 is higher than the protruding height of the inner sticking body 6.

  By the way, the electronic device terminal 2 is carried around or placed on a desk. And only by sticking the inner side sticking body 6 to the home button 3, when the electronic device terminal 2 is carried or put on the desk, the home button 3 is moved to the inner side by another object other than the finger F. The pressing operation may be unexpectedly performed through the sticking body 6.

  However, the outer sticking body 7 includes an annular protruding portion 10 that protrudes from the main body 9, and the protruding height h <b> 3 from the arrangement surface 5 in the protruding portion 10 and the arrangement surface 5 of the inner sticking body 6. The protruding height h3 of the protruding portion 10 is higher than the protruding height of the inner sticking body 6. For this reason, the protrusion part 10 obstructs things other than the finger F contacting the inner side sticking body 6. FIG.

  Alternatively, even if an object other than the finger F comes into contact with the inner sticking body 6, the protruding portion 10 obstructs the state where the inner sticking body 6 is pressed further. Therefore, a state in which the home button 3 of the electronic device terminal 2 is unexpectedly pressed is suppressed, and an erroneous operation of the home button 3 can be prevented. And when pressing the inner side sticking body 6 with the finger F, a finger F or a nail | claw hits the chamfer 10a and is supported, and the inner side sticking body 6 becomes easy to press.

  Next, the erroneous operation preventing tool 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the erroneous operation preventing tool 1 according to the second embodiment, a portion different from the first embodiment is the structure of the outer sticking body 7. Therefore, in this embodiment, the structure of the outer side sticking body 7 is mainly demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 5 thru | or FIG. 7, the outer side sticking body 7 which concerns on this embodiment is formed in cyclic | annular form. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the main body 9 includes an arrangement surface side annular portion 15 and a surface side annular portion 16 formed integrally with the surface side of the arrangement surface side annular portion 15.

  The arrangement surface side annular portion 15 and the surface side annular portion 16 are both formed to have the same outer diameter. When the inner diameter dimensions of the arrangement surface side annular portion 15 and the surface side annular portion 16 are compared, the arrangement surface side annular portion 15 is formed larger. A positioning protrusion 17 is integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface of the arrangement surface side annular portion 15. The alignment protrusion 17 includes an alignment surface 17 a that is flush with the inner peripheral surface 16 a of the front surface side annular portion 16, and the alignment protrusion 17 has an inner diameter from the inner peripheral surface of the arrangement surface side annular portion 15. It is integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface so as to protrude toward the side. An imaginary inner diameter dimension in which the alignment surfaces 17 a are continuous is substantially equal to the outer diameter dimension of the inner sticking body 6.

  A large number of hemispherical small protrusions 18 are integrally formed in the circumferential direction on the surface of the front surface side annular portion 16. In the middle of the arrangement direction of the small protrusions 18 in the circumferential direction, a plurality of large protrusions 19 that are larger in diameter and hemispherical than the small protrusions 18, in this case, four are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. While the small protrusion 18 and the large protrusion 19 have a decorative meaning, the large protrusion 19 is a portion corresponding to the protruding portion. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the protrusion height h <b> 4 of the large protrusion 19 is set high between the protrusion height h <b> 2 of the inner sticking body 6 with respect to the arrangement surface 5 and the protrusion height h <b> 4 of the large protrusion 19. Has been.

  The radially inner edge of the front surface side annular portion 16 is a truncated cone-shaped inclined surface 16b that is inclined toward the home button 3 toward the annular center side. That is, the inner diameter side of the large protrusion 19 is an inclined surface 16 b that is inclined toward the home button 3.

  In the above configuration, when the inner sticking body 6 is pasted on the surface of the home button 3 in advance and the outer sticking body 7 is pasted, the virtual inner diameter dimension in which the alignment surfaces 17a are continuous is the inner side. Since it substantially matches the outer diameter of the sticking body 6, if the outer sticking body 7 is fitted on the inner sticking body 6, the inner sticking body 6 and the outer sticking body 7 are concentric. It can be.

  The outer sticking body 7 is provided with a plurality of large protrusions 19 protruding from the main body portion 9. From the protrusion height h 4 of the large protrusion 19 from the arrangement surface 5 and the arrangement face 5 of the inner sticking body 6. The protrusion height h4 of the large protrusion 19 is higher than the protrusion height h2 of the inner sticking body 6. For this reason, the large protrusion 19 interferes with things other than the fingers F coming into contact with the inner sticking body 6.

  Alternatively, even if an object other than the finger F comes into contact with the inner sticking body 6, the large protrusion 19 obstructs the state where the inner sticking body 6 is pressed further. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a state where the home button 3 of the electronic device terminal 2 is unexpectedly pressed and to prevent the home button 3 from being erroneously operated. And when pressing the inner side sticking body 6 with the finger F, the finger F or a nail | claw strikes and supports the inclined surface 16b, and the inner side sticking body 6 becomes easy to press.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. The same applies to the specific configuration of each part.

  For example, in the outer adhesive body 7 shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the surface of the annular outer adhesive body 7 is divided into an inner diameter side inclined surface 7a, an outer diameter side inclined surface 7b, and an inner diameter side inclined surface. It is formed by an annular flat surface 7c continuous between 7a and the outer diameter side inclined surface 7b, and the radial width of the inner diameter side inclined surface 7a is set larger than the radial direction width of the outer diameter side inclined surface 7b. Like this configuration, by increasing the radial width of the inner diameter side inclined surface 7a, it is easy to support the finger F or the nail, and the inner sticking body 6 can be easily pressed.

  In each said embodiment, the outer side sticking body 7 does not need to be simple cyclic | annular, For example, as shown to FIG. 13 and FIG. It is also conceivable to form the bulging portion 20 that bulges to the side at intervals in the circumferential direction to form a shape simulating an animal. And it is possible to make the protrusion height of the surface of the bulging part 20 high compared with the protrusion height of the inner side sticking body 6. FIG.

  Alternatively, it is conceivable to set the protruding heights of the main body 9 and the bulging portion 20 to be the same, and to set the protruding height higher than the protruding height of the inner sticking body 6. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the outer side sticking body 7 (the main-body part 9, the bulging part 20) is provided with the outer side edge part 21 and the inner side edge part 22, the surface side is closed, and the arrangement | positioning surface 5 It can be formed in a hollow shape with an opening.

  In each said embodiment, the outer side sticking body 7 showed the example formed in cyclic | annular form as an integrated object. However, as shown in FIG. 15, the outer adhesive body 7 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped outer adhesive body parts 23, and these outer adhesive body parts 23 are intermittently arranged on the surface of the electronic device terminal 2. It can also be set as an arrangement | positioning. The shape of the surface of these outer sticking body parts 23 can be any of the above embodiments.

  In each said embodiment, although the example which made the protrusion height of the protrusion part of the surface side of the outer side sticking body 7 the same was shown, as shown in FIG. It is also conceivable that the protruding height is gently inclined downward from one side in the radial direction to the other side. That is, it is conceivable that the protrusion height h5 on one side in the radial direction from the arrangement surface 5 to the annular flat surface 10b of the outer sticking body 7> the protrusion height h6 on the other side. In this case, if the protrusion height h5> the protrusion height h2, the protrusion height h2> the protrusion height h6 of the inner sticking body 6 may be sufficient, or the protrusion height h6> the protrusion height h2 may be sufficient.

  In each said embodiment, although the inner side sticking body 6 showed the example at the time of setting substantially equal to the outer diameter of the home button 3, it may be smaller than the outer diameter of the home button 3. FIG. In this case, particularly in the second embodiment, the outer sticking body 7 is stuck across the outer peripheral portion of the surface of the home button 3 and the arrangement surface 5. That is, the inner diameter dimension of the outer sticking body 7 is set slightly smaller than the outer diameter dimension of the home button 3.

  In each of the embodiments described above, an example in which the operation unit is the home button 3 has been described. However, the present invention is not used only for preventing the home button 3 from being erroneously operated. For example, if an erroneous operation is performed, information is transmitted through the network line. The present invention can be applied to an operation unit that flows to an unspecified partner or the power supply of the device is shut down.

  If the operation unit is other than a circle, for example, an ellipse, a triangle, a quadrangle, or the like, the shape of the inner sticking body may be made to follow the shape of the operation unit. The shape of the outer sticking body is not limited to an annular shape, and may be made to follow the shape of the operation unit. Alternatively, the outer sticking body can be arranged in a shape other than a circle, for example, an ellipse, a triangle, a quadrangle, etc. in plan view, without corresponding to the shape of the inner sticking body. In addition, the inner adhesive body and the outer adhesive body are made of metal, synthetic resin, or the like, and the molding material is not particularly determined. In particular, the outer adhesive body interferes with an erroneous operation, and thus has a predetermined hardness. is necessary.
