<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input button and an electronic equipment capable of protecting surely an input substrate, even when impact force is applied onto the input button, irrespective of a movement side structure. <P>SOLUTION: In this input button 1, a spring 8 of an elastomer is arranged between a movable part 6 capable of pressing the input substrate 4 and an external input part 7, and spring force of the spring 8 is set to be smaller than force for plastic deformation of the input substrate 4. The impact force of the input substrate 4 is absorbed thereby by plastic deformation of the spring 8, even when the impact force is applied onto the input button 1 from an outside, so as to prevent the input substrate 4 from being plastically deformed or damaged. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
