摘要:
A pressure switch includes a housing, the inner space of which is divided into a pressurized fluid operating chamber and a switch mechanism chamber by a flexible diaphragm. The operating chamber communicates with a pressurized fluid inlet hole, and the mechanism chamber houses a switch mechanism. The diaphragm is hermetically fixed to the inner surface of the housing by an elastic seal member. The switch mechanism has a spring for urging the diaphragm toward the operating chamber. The switch mechanism is turned on or off as the diaphragm is transformed against the urging force of the spring by the pressure of a fluid introduced through the inlet hole into the operating chamber. The diaphragm is constructed by stacking a metal film and a flexible plastic film in layers so that the films are independent of each other. The diaphragm, whose peripheral edge is fixed to the inner surface of the inner space is so located that the metal film faces the operating chamber and the plastic film faces the mechanism chamber. The respective thicknesses of the metal film and the plastic film are so set that stress produced in the metal film when the metal film is elastically transformed by the transformation of the diaphragm is smaller than stress produced in the plastic film when the plastic film is elastically transformed by the transformation of the diaphragm.
摘要:
A magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus records and/or reproduces a signal on and/or from a magnetic tape within a miniature type tape cassette which is smaller than a standard type tape cassette, when loaded with an adapter which has a shape approximately the same as the shape of the standard type tape cassette and accommodates therein the miniature type tape cassette. The recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprises an inserting opening through which the adapter is inserted, an adapter housing for holding the adapter which is inserted through the inserting opening, a moving mechanism for moving the adapter housing between a first position opposing the inserting opening and a second position where the adapter is loaded into the recording and/or reproducing apparatus, through a predetermined position, a control circuit for controlling the operation of the moving mechanism so that the adapter housing is selectively stopped at the predetermined position, and an opening located at a position so as to enable access to the adapter housing in the predetermined position. The miniature type tape cassette is inserted into and removed from the adapter through the opening.
