Patent ID: 8610017

Claim:
A capacitive input switch that comprises a rigidity imparting layer having rigidity and a laminate sheet provided being layered on the rigidity imparting layer to be applied with strength and that has at least the laminate sheet, among the rigidity imparting layer and the laminate sheet, three dimensionally formed, wherein the laminate sheet includes a substrate sheet, a conductive pattern layer for capacitor formation and a decorative layer that is laminated at least on any one of the substrate sheet and the conductive pattern layer, a separate conductor is caused to contact with the conductive pattern layer, and the conductive pattern layer is caused to be electrically connected to an external electric circuit by the conductor, and wherein the rigidity imparting layer and the laminate sheet are three dimensionally formed to position the laminate sheet on the front face of the rigidity imparting layer, and the rigidity imparting layer and the laminate sheet are mounted on a base plate, and the circuit board positioned below the rigidity imparting layer is mounted on the base plate as well as a guide plate positioned in the rigidity imparting layer is fixed to the circuit board, so that the conductor is inserted in a positioning hole provided in the guide plate and an end portion thereof is caused to contact with the electrode of the circuit board.
