摘要:
An optical switching unit including mechanisms for receiving a beam of light consisting of a plurality of component rays of different wavelengths, separating the light by making use of the reflection characteristic of suitable spectroscopic elements into the component rays to be lead to corresponding light-conductive paths, selecting either the interruption or transmission of the component rays by means of light-shielding plates provided in the respective light-conductive paths, and collecting the components rays to again compose a composite ray of the beam of light to be let out.The respective light-conductive paths are connected in parallel and have their light-separating branched portions arranged in series. In each of the branched portions is disposed a corresponding one of the spectroscopic elements, which corresponding one has its reflection characteristic reflectable of a corresponding component ray and a component ray reflectable by at least a one-stage preceding spectroscopic element.

A light-conductive circuit unit comprises a substrate (1) made of an optical material, the substrate (1) having a light inlet surface (1a) for letting in a beam of light from a light source (2a to 2c), a light outlet surface (1b) for letting out a beam of light to a light-receiving element (3a to 3g), and a light-conductive path (4a to 4h) constituted with a part of the substrate to conduct rays of light from the light inlet surface (1a) to the light outlet surface (1b), and a combination of light course turning parts (5a to 5g) and optical switching mechanisms (6a to 6e) both substantially integrated with the substrate (1).

A steering switch device (200) for a vehicle having a vehicle body (1), a steering wheel (100) rotatably attached to the vehicle body, and an electrical load mounted on the vehicle body. The steering switch device (200) comprises a control means (3, 23, 24, 25, 26) for providing the electrical load with a drive control signal, the control means (3, 23, 24, 25, 26) being secured to the vehicle body (1) and constituted with a light source means (23, 24) for providing an optical signal and a light-receiving means (25, 26), and a switch means (13, 19, 20, 27) for providing the control means (3, 23, 24, 25, 26) with an operational signal, the switch means (13, 19, 20, 27) being arranged in the vicinity of the steering wheel (100) and constituted with a light-conductive path (27) for conducting the optical signal from the light source means (23, 24) to the light-receiving means (25, 26) and an optical switch (19, 20) provided in the light-conductive path (27). The switch means (13, 19, 20, 27) is adapted to be stationary relative to the vehicle body (1) irrespective of rotation of the steering wheel (100).
