Switch structure and manufacturing method therefor

Abstract

A switch structure includes a light-emitting part configured to receive power from a vehicle and to radiate light, a moving block located so as to surround the light-emitting part, a light-transmissive part configured to allow light radiated from the light-emitting part to pass through an opening in the moving block, and a film-printing layer located on a top surface of the light-transmissive part and including a symbol.

1 .- 5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . A method of manufacturing a switch, the method comprising the steps of:
 injection-molding a moving block using an upper mold;   injection-molding a knob by engaging the upper mold in which the moving block has been injection-molded with a lower mold; and   withdrawing an injection-molded product from the upper and lower molds.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the injection-molding step comprises:
 printing a symbol on a film-printing layer;   seating the film-printing layer on an upper end of the lower mold forming the knob; and   preforming a film according to a shape of the lower mold forming the knob.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the preforming step comprises:
 inserting the film-printing layer into a portion recessed in the lower mold forming the knob.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the injection-molding step comprises:
 rotating the upper mold when the moving block is completely injection-molded in one end of the upper mold; and   injection-molding the moving block in an opposite end of the upper mold after rotation of the upper mold.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the step of injection-molding the moving block in the opposite end of the upper mold after rotation of the upper mold is performed simultaneously with the step of injection-molding the knob in one end of the upper mold. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising, after the product having the knob that has been injection-molded is withdrawn, rotating the opposite end of the upper mold so as to injection-mold the knob therein.
