Title:
KEY FOR KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/018239
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A key board in which a key which, despite the use of a material substitute for lead, can be simply installed in the keyboard to reduce assembling cost of the keyboard and which can maintain sufficient weight holding force for a long period even if a weight embedding hole is deformed. The key has a pivotable key body (2) having the embedding hole (8) formed in it and the weight (4) formed from a composite material having predetermined specific gravity and formed by blending metal other than lead and a synthetic resin at a predetermined blending rate. The weight (4) has hardness not more than that of the key body (2) and has a recovery ratio not less than a predetermined level, where the recovery ratio is the ratio between the amount of deformation of the weight when it is deformed by external force and the amount of recovery of the weight from the deformation when the external force is removed.
