Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a low cost double-sided input switch by providing cases at both sides of a membrane switch and carrying out switching directly or through an operating body through the holes of the cases. CONSTITUTION:A front surface contact 25 and a rear surface contact 29 are provided on the front side FPC 26 and the rear side FPC 30 respectively maintaining the opposite positions through a spacer 33, and a membrane switch is composed. On both sides of the membrane switch, a front side facing panel 27 and a rear side facing panel 31 are positioned, and they are held between a front side case 28 and a rear side case 32 which are made of a rigid or a half-rigid substance, to compose a both-sides input switch. In this case, however, there is no rigid body to hold the membrane switch, and the size of holes 32 must be designed adequately. In such a composition, since the same switch can be used to switch from both sides, the front and the rear sides, the numbers of parts and processes to compose the switch can be reduced and a low cost double-sided input switch can be obtained.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1, 25.29 is the front side contact and the back side contact,
They are disposed on the front surface FPCj26 and the rear surface ypcao, respectively, and are held by spacers 33 so as to face each other, thereby configuring a membrane switch. A double-sided input switch is constructed by arranging a front decorative panel 27 and a back decorative panel 31 on both sides of this membrane switch, and inserting them between a rigid or semi-rigid front case 28 and a rear case 32. The switch shown in the inside of the figure can be swiveled from either the front or the back. However, since there is no rigid body to hold the membrane switch, it is necessary to appropriately design the size of the hole 34. The switch shown at part B in the figure can only be switched from the surface, and the membrane switch is held by a case 32. The switch at section C in the figure can only be switched from the back side, and the membrane switch is held by a case 28.
