Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0546468A2] Keys (1) are arranged on opposite sides of a display device (2), on a carrier (3). The keys (1) have a w-shaped profile which corresponds with an m-shaped profile of a guide which is integrally formed on the carrier (3). The lateral web (23) of each key (1) acts on a switching dome (13) of a switching mat (12), while in contrast the outer free limb (14) overhangs the others and is positioned at right angles above the carrier (3) as an operating part (8). On the underneath, the key pad is covered by a printed-circuit board (9). <IMAGE>
