A digital switch may have an advantageous actuating member including, in addition to pawls for a ratchet mechanism, a pair of main bodies and spring portions integrally formed therewith, whereby the mechanical integrity of the actuating member and smooth operation are assured. The spring portions are interconnected by a mounting plate which is in turn engaged to a casing member. The switch may include an advantageous electro-conductive pattern which is made by insert molding an embossed metallic plate into synthetic resin, whereby the dimensional accuracy of the pattern is assured and the production may be facilitated. Further, the switching element may make use of a set of concentric cams which selectively drive movable contact pieces onto fixed contact pieces according to the step-wise rotation of a ratchet wheel.

An illuminated pushbutton switch comprising a housing, a switching component, a reset spring, and an illuminator component including a lamp holder and a pushbutton which is removably installed in the housing. Characteristically, this switch further comprises a leaf spring which is secured at its base end to the lamp holder and disposed to provide a predetermined spacing between the lamp holder and pushbutton, and engaging means formed in the pushbutton for engaging a free end of the leaf spring, and a stationary member for transversely biasing the leaf spring out of engagement from said engaging means as the reset spring returns to its original position.

A microswitch, comprising: a casing consisting of a base casing half and a cover casing half; a plurality of terminal pieces received, at their intermediate parts, in slots provided in the base casing half and extending substantially perpendicularly from a surface opposing a corresponding surface of the cover casing half; a contact mechanism accommodated in a cavity in the casing and electrically connected to the terminal pieces; and a push-button member elastically supported by a spring member and projecting out of the casing for actuating the contact mechanism by movement of the push-button member; the terminal pieces being provided with projections extending from their leading edges, and the slot being provided with a recess for receiving the projection; wherein the slot comprises an external part and an internal part which is narrower than the external part, and a projecting length of the projection is larger than a depth of the internal part. Thereby, the projection may be easily fitted into the recess because the terminal piece is still in the broader part of the slot and can be easily shifted at this stage, but, once the projection is received in the recess, the terminal piece is securely held in position by the narrower part of the slot.
摘要:
A non-contact switching device comprising a housing, a light path switching member housed within the housing, an actuator member disposed in the housing for transferring an external mechanical force to the light path switching member, a light entrance member disposed on the housing connectable to a first optical fiber for guiding light transferred from an external light source through the first optical fiber to the light path switching member, and a light exit member disposed on the housing connectable to a second optical fiber for guiding light from the light path switching member to the second optical fiber, the light path switching member being associated with the actuator member so as to switch a light path from the light entrance member to the light exit member through the light path switching member.
摘要:
There is disclosed a fluid-proof slide switch having at least a pair of contacts contained in a housing, and a horizontally movable slider for electrical connection or disconnection of the contacts.A flexible sealing member is placed between the slider and contacts to form a fluid-proof chamber containing the contacts. The sealing member is deformed in response to the movement of said slider to make the electrical connection or disconnection.
摘要:
This invention provides a switch adapted to close upon pressing by an actuator of a movable piece initially in an open switch position, the actuator being made of a material which melts at a predetermined temperature. The switch opens when melting of the actuator by the heat generated from an overcurrent allows the movable piece to return to its initial position. The movable piece is made of a material which fuses at a predetermined temperature, such that the switch opens upon fusion of the movable piece by the heat generated from the flow of an overcurrent through the movable piece.

In a switch device, slide plates slide on a microswitch casing independently from each other. When one of the slide plates is slid in a left-hand side direction from its neutral position against a biasing force of a spring, a cam portion thereof depresses an actuator by a predetermined constant amount putting a corresponding microswitch mechanism into an ON state. Similarly, when the other slide plate is slid in a right-hand side direction from its neutral position against a biasing force of the spring, a cam portion thereof depresses another actuator by a predetermined constant amount to put a second microswitch mechanism into an ON state. Each slide plate is operatively, selectively held through a solenoid device at that position where its cam portion depresses the corresponding actuator.

This pressure sensitive switch includes a bellows made of corrosion resistant material and with a hollow cylindrical body, which defines a pressure receiving surface on the outer surface of its one closed end portion, and with an open end which is fixedly secured to a fixed member in such a manner that the bellows may expand and contract in its longitudinal direction in response to small changes in the pressure difference between its interior space and the space outside it; a plunger mounted so as to reciprocate in response to the expansion and contraction of the bellows by being acted upon by the inner surface of the bottom portion of the bellows; and a switch assembly which is switched to and fro in response to the reciprocating motion of the plunger. This construction is compact and efficiently functional.

A digital switch assembly which comprises a casing having a plurality of output terminals, a rotor rotatably accommodated within the casing and adapted to be rotated either directly or indirectly by the application of a finger pressure thereto, feelers carried by and positioned inside the casing and electrically connected to the respective output terminals; a circuit board carried by the rotor and having a predetermined pattern of electric circuits adapted to be selectively engaged with the feelers to complete a desired circuit configuration depending on the position of the rotor, a grounding terminal member carried by the casing, and a circuit element extending substantially between the location at which the finger pressure is applied to rotate the rotor and the grounding terminal member for establishing a discharge circuit through which an electrostatic charge set up in the body of the operator can be grounded.
