Control panel for electronic equipment and method of producing the same

A method of producing a control panel for electronic equipment, said method comprising the steps of:

• forming a sheet to produce a plurality of recesses thereon by thermoforming, said recesses forming pushbutton outer skins;
• inserting said sheet formed with said recesses into an injection mold and filling a molten resin material into said recesses to form a key sheet;
• inserting a control panel member for inserting said key sheet therein and said key sheet into an injection mold;
• and
• injecting a molten synthetic resin material into a cavity defined by said key sheet, said control panel member and said injection mold to fill said cavity with said molten synthetic resin material, thereby molding a pushbutton support.

A method of producing a control panel for electronic equipment, said method comprising the steps of:

• forming a sheet to produce a plurality of recesses thereon by thermoforming, said recesses forming pushbutton outer skins;
• cutting said sheet into said pushbutton outer skins individually;
• inserting a control panel member for inserting said pushbutton outer skins therein and said pushbutton outer skins into an injection mold;
• and
• injecting a molten synthetic resin material into a cavity defined by each of said pushbutton outer skins, said control panel member and said injection mold to fill said recess and said cavity with said molten synthetic resin material, thereby molding a pushbutton support.

A method of producing a control panel for electronic equipment, said method comprising the steps of:

• molding a plurality of pushbuttons connected to each other;
• cutting off said pushbuttons from each other;
• inserting a control panel member for inserting said pushbuttons therein and said pushbuttons into an injection mold;
• and
• injecting a molten synthetic resin material into a cavity defined by said pushbuttons, said control panel member and said injection mold to fill said cavity with said molten synthetic resin material, thereby molding a pushbutton support.
