Decorative molded body, key top for a pushbutton switch, and key sheet for the pushbutton switch

A decorative molded body comprising:

• a transparent molded body includes a top surface and a bottom surface spaced from the top surface;
• and
• a three-dimensional base pattern layer which is provided on the bottom surface of the transparent molded body;
• and
• a pigmented layer on the bottom surface of the transparent molded body;
• wherein the three-dimensional base pattern layer includes a transparent printing layer and, a brilliant layer,
• the transparent printing layer includes a first surface and a first outer boundary;
• the first surface and the first outer boundary cooperate to define the perimeter of the transparent printing layer;
• the first surface directly contacts the bottom surface of the transparent molded body at a first portion of the bottom surface and the transparent printing layer is provided by a transparent resin ink,
• the brilliant layer includes a second surface, an second inner boundary, and a second outer boundary;
• the second surface, the second inner boundary, and the second outer boundary cooperate to define the perimeter of the brilliant layer;
• the second inner boundary directly contacts the first outer boundary of the transparent printing layer and the second surface directly contacts the bottom surface of the transparent molded body at a second portion of the bottom surface different from the first portion of the bottom surface, the brilliant layer including a plurality of brilliant particles,
• the pigmented layer includes a third surface, a third inner boundary, and a third outer boundary;
• the third surface, the third inner boundary, and the third outer boundary cooperate to define the perimeter of the pigmented layer;
• the third surface directly contacts the bottom surface of the transparent molded body at a third portion different from the first portion and the second portion of the bottom surface;
• the third inner boundary directly contacts each of the second outer boundary of the brilliant layer and the first outer boundary of the tranparent printing layer;
• and
• when the transparent molded body is viewed from beyond the top surface in a direction extending from the top surface to the bottom surface, the brilliant layer cooperates with the transparent printing layer to define a three-dimensional effect.
