  • Patent number: 8684647
    Abstract: An operating member mounting structure includes a mounting plate having an inner edge defining a mounting hole, and an operating member includes a keytop and a flange which are coupled to each other by a shaft, and the flange is formed with a slit. The diameter of the flange is larger than that of the mounting hole. When the operating member is rotated and pressed down in a state that the slit receives the inner edge of the mounting hole, the flange passes over the inner edge of the mounting hole to be fully brought beneath the mounting plate. An operating shaft of an operated device is inserted into an insertion hole opened on the surface of the flange. By operating the keytop exposed from the top surface of the mounting plate, the operated device can be operated through the operating shaft.

  • Patent number: 8419955
    Abstract: An antireflection structure that can be formed in a desired shape, and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. An antireflection structure 100 includes a resin layer 200 formed in a desired shape, and inorganic material fine particles 201 dispersed inside the resin layer. A plurality of fine concaves 202 having an average inner diameter shorter than or equal to the minimum wavelength of light whose reflection should be suppressed are formed at the surface of the antireflection structure 100, thereby reducing the equivalent refractive index at the surface of the resin layer 200. The fine concaves 202 are formed by, after forming a composite material in which the nanosized inorganic material fine particles 201 are dispersed in the resin layer, dissolving the inorganic material fine particles 201 dispersed at the surface of the resin layer 200, using a solvent that dissolves only the inorganic material fine particles 201.
