Abstract

A control apparatus is provided with a substrate disposed inside a main case and on which light sources are mounted. A surface panel in which light-source display windows are formed at positions opposite the light sources, is also disposed in the main case. The outer rim of the surface of the surface panel facing the main case is affixed to the front-surface rim of the main case with an insulating part sandwiched therebetween.

Claims (38)

1. A controlling device disposed within a main unit case, comprising:

a circuit board;

a light source mounted to the circuit board;

a front panel;

a light source displaying window provided in the front panel at a position that faces the light source; and

an insulating portion, wherein

an outer peripheral edge portion of a face of the front panel that faces the main unit case is secured to a front face edge portion of the main unit case through the insulating portion, and

the insulating portion has an insulating ink and is provided by printing on either the outer peripheral edge portion of the face of the front panel that faces the main unit case or on the front face edge portion of the main unit case.

2. A controlling device disposed within a main unit case, comprising:

a circuit board;

a light source mounted to the circuit board;

a front panel;

a light source displaying window provided in the front panel at a position that faces the light source; and

an insulating portion, wherein

an outer peripheral edge portion of a face of the front panel that faces the main unit case is secured to a front face edge portion of the main unit case through the insulating portion, and

the insulating portion has a non-carbon black ink and is provided by printing on either the outer peripheral edge portion of the face of the front panel that faces the main unit case or on the front face edge portion of the main unit case.

3. A controlling device disposed within a main unit case, comprising:

a circuit board;

a light source mounted to the circuit board;

a front panel;

an insulating portion, wherein

an outer peripheral edge portion of a face of the front panel that faces the main unit case is secured to a front face edge portion of the main unit case through the insulating portion,

a light guiding part guiding, to the light source displaying window formed in the front panel, light from the light source, is provided between the circuit board and the front panel,

in the front panel, ink that is printed on the face that faces the light source is stripped in a particular shape by a laser marker and is provided with a lettering portion, and

the base material of the light guiding part is translucent.

4. A controlling device disposed within a main unit case, comprising:

a circuit board;

a light source mounted to the circuit board;

a front panel;

a light source displaying window provided in the front panel at a position that faces the light source; and

an insulating portion, wherein

an outer peripheral edge portion of a face of the front panel that faces the main unit case is secured to a front face edge portion of the main unit case through the insulating portion,

the front panel has a portion printed with an ink at a position facing the light source,

the portion printed with the ink has a stripped portion where the ink is stripped by the laser marker, and

the stripped portion is the light source displaying window.

5. The controlling device as set forth in claim 4 , wherein:
