SWITCH MECHANISM AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce manufacturing cost without deteriorating quality feeling while enabling specification of a position by tactile feeling. SOLUTION: An operation panel 4 comprises a push switch SW arranged on the backside of an operation panel body 13, a panel boss 16 which is connected with the operation panel body 13 through an elastic deformation part 15 and is arranged in a pierced hole 14 formed on the operation panel body 13 so as to be able to push the push switch SW when a disc-like part 16c on the top side is pushed, and a panel sheet 17 stuck on a front surface of the operation panel body 13. The panel boss 16 is such formed that the disc-like part 16c projects from the front surface of the operation panel body 13. The panel sheet 17 is such stuck as to come in surface-contact both with the front surface of the operation panel body 13 and with the disc-like part 16c of the panel boss 16. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
