Abstract

A mold structure for forming a keypad panel includes a mold base, a transparent mold core and a fixed board. The mold base has an opening, a connecting portion around the opening, a containing space extended from the connecting portion, a positioning portion and a groove on the surface of the mold base, and screw holes inside the containing space. The transparent mold cavity has a body, a connecting edge around the periphery of the body and attached to the connecting portion, and a mold of a keypad panel on the surface of transparent mold cavity and exposed from the opening of the mold base. The fixed board has an opening for projecting light onto the transparent mold cavity and through holes around the periphery of the opening for securing screws into the screw holes to assemble the fixed board into the containing space and press the transparent mold cavity.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A mold structure for forming a keypad panel, comprising:
 a mold base, having an opening thereon, a joint portion disposed on an internal periphery of the opening, and a containing space extended from the joint portion and interconnected with the opening;   a transparent mold core, having a main body installed in the opening, a joint edge disposed on a periphery of the main body and attached to the joint portion, such that a surface of the transparent mold core is exposed from the opening, and a model disposed on the surface; and   a fixed plate, installed in the containing space, and having an opening corresponding to the transparent mold core.   
   
   
       2 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the joint portion has a stairway-like shape. 
   
   
       3 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the mold base includes a positioning portion disposed on a surface of the mold base. 
   
   
       4 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the mold base includes a groove disposed on a surface of the mold base. 
   
   
       5 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the containing space includes a plurality of screw holes therein. 
   
   
       6 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the joint edge has a stairway-like shape. 
   
   
       7 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the fixed plate includes a plurality of through holes disposed around a periphery of the opening. 
   
   
       8 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a screw passed through a through hole of the fixed plate and secured into a screw hole of the containing space. 
   
   
       9 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the model has a keypad panel pattern. 
   
   
       10 . A mold structure for forming a keypad panel, comprising:
 a mold base, having a plurality of openings thereon, a joint portion disposed on an internal periphery of the opening, and a containing space extended from the joint portion and interconnected with the plurality of openings;   a plurality of transparent mold cores, each having a main body installed in the opening, a joint edge disposed on a periphery of the main body and attached with the joint portion, such that a surface of the transparent mold core is exposed from the opening, and a model disposed on the surface; and   a fixed plate, installed in the containing space, and having a plurality of openings corresponding to the transparent mold cores.   
   
   
       11 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the joint portion has a stairway-like shape. 
   
   
       12 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the mold base includes a positioning portion disposed on a surface of the mold base. 
   
   
       13 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the mold base includes a groove disposed on a surface of the mold base. 
   
   
       14 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the containing space includes a plurality of screw holes therein. 
   
   
       15 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the joint edge has a stairway-like shape. 
   
   
       16 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the fixed plate includes a plurality of through holes disposed on a periphery of the opening. 
   
   
       17 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising a screw passed through a through hole of the fixed plate and secured into a screw hole of the containing space. 
   
   
       18 . The mold structure for forming a keypad panel as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the model has a keypad panel pattern.
