Abstract:
1. Electronic equipment comprising: a housing with an elastically deformable thin-wall portion formed as a part of a front wall; an elastically deformable spacer member located on a back side of the thin-wall portion in the housing; and a sub board on which switches that can be pressed by the spacer member are mounted, wherein the spacer member comprises: a plurality of elastic members, each of which comprises an operating strip that is formed so that when the thin-wall portion is deformed elastically, one surface of the operating strip can be brought into contact with a back surface of the thin-wall portion and the other surface can be pressed against the switch; a bridging portion that holds arms for supporting the operation strips; and a supporting member that is formed so as to protrude above the bridging portion between each of the elastic members, and can be brought into contact with the back surface of the thin-wall portion at least when the thin-wall portion is deformed elastically, and wherein the elastic members and the supporting member are formed integrally, and a surface of the bridging portion is positioned lower than upper surfaces of the supporting member and the operating strips.
