DRY BATTERY HOUSING STRUCTURE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of parts and reduce assembly man-hours. SOLUTION: A rubber key member 6 includes a cylindrical body 61, a frame body 62, and a connection 63 connecting the cylindrical body 61 and the frame body 62, all of which are formed into one by an elastic material such as rubber. The connection 63 is provided with a groove 63a extending in a direction of an arrow C-D to partition between the cylindrical body 61 and the frame body 62. The cylindrical body 61 movably supports a push-button 64 turning a tact switch 53 on, and the frame body 62 is provided with a pair of support members 65, 65 supporting a dry battery 4. The support members 65, 65 are inclined by the same degree so that respective support parts 65a are spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction of the dry battery 4 (direction of an arrow C-D). The rubber key member 6 includes a light diffusing member 67 for holding an LED 52 formed into one by an opal rubber-like elastic material having translucency. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
