Problems solved by technology

[0007] In Patent Document 1, for example, in the state where the guide groove is provided on the front panel side of the main body of the device, the surface of the front panel is sprayed with paint. In this case, if the paint passes through the opening of the front panel and is sprayed and attached In the guide groove part, when the push button is assembled to the device body after painting, the operation feeling of the push button may be affected
In order to prevent this, it is necessary to shield the guide groove, but this increases the cost of preparing a shielding jig and the man-hours for shielding
Moreover, even if shielding is performed, the paint may detour to the guide groove from a small gap, and the coating quality is likely to be unstable
