  • Hinged push button cluster
    Patent number: 5710398
    Abstract: For economy of molding and ease of assembly to a control panel, a one-piece cluster of push buttons arrayed in two rows includes hinges coupling groups of buttons. Each hinge is located at the intersection of four buttons and includes an arm extending from a corner of each button in a group. Each arm extends transverse to the plane of the cluster, and the four adjacent arms join to form an arch. Each arm is long and thin enough to be quite flexible for permitting each button to operate independently of the others.
