Push button switch

Abstract

PURPOSE:To have an insulating sheet generate approximately uniform pushing force and facilitate switching of two switches, in addition, to stabilize contact- making of a contact by superimposing a sheet which has elasticity on the insulating sheet. CONSTITUTION:Contacts 5, 7 adjacent to each other, on which an elastic and insulating sheet 3 is superimposed, are provided on an insulating board 1. The elastic and insulating sheet 3 provided to have movable contacts 4 and 6 face respectively to the contacts 5, 7 through a spacer 2 is superimposed on the board, and also an elastic sheet 8 made of such a material having soft elasticity as foam polyethylene or silicone rubber is superimposed on the sheet 3. With this construction, even when the button 9 is pushed obliquely, a uniform pressure can be applied on each contact part due to the elasticity of the elastic sheet 8 and the insulating sheet 3. In addition, chattering, bouncing and the like which can occur on such an operation as a quick movement of the button, edge- pushing, oblique pushing or the like can be absorbed by interposing the elastic sheet 8. Thus, stable switching can be obtained.
