Abstract (en)

[origin: US6982389B2] A pushbutton configuration includes at least two neighboring pushbuttons, connecting webs, and spring legs. The connecting webs are in the form of constricted film hinges. The length of the connecting webs is, preferably, 3 to 10 mm, the width of the connecting webs is 0.5 to 2 mm, and the thickness of the connecting webs at their ends is 0.5 to 1.5 mm and at their constricted center is 0.15 to 1 mm, but, in any event, less than at their ends. The pushbutton configuration is preferably formed in one piece from readily flowing polyacetal, which has a high rigidity and restoring elasticity.
