ABSTRACT:
An illuminated plastic lighting of alphanumeric symbols, such as letters, numbers or words, in soft feel buttons is provided, wherein a translucent rigid base portion is covered with a soft opaque plastic. The opaque plastic has the same thickness as a raised protrusion bearing the desired alphanumeric symbol. The opaque plastic coating is applied in a fluid condition to the top level of the alphanumeric symbol, for revealing the alphanumeric symbol through a recess in the opaque elastomeric coating material. A light source is placed at the bottom of the translucent base portion. The soft feel button is specially useful for making lighted buttons and more particularly, for soft feel buttons for automobile dashboards and the like.
