SWITCH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/137201
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A switch configured from a base (10) on which a concave part (11) having multiple secured contact points (16 to 20) on the inner circumference surface is disposed, and a conductive operation body (30) housed in the concave part (11) of the base (10) and having an elastic part (31) and a pair of moveable contact parts (34, 34) on which moveable contact points (38a, 38b) that are different from one another and are capable of connecting to the secured contact points (16 to 20) are disposed. The switch is provided with engagement convex parts (13) disposed on either the base (10) or the conductive operation body (30), and engagement concave parts (35 to 37) which engages with the engagement convex parts (13) and are disposed on the conductive operation body (30) or the base (10) on which the engagement convex parts (13) are not disposed. The elastic part (31) of the conductive operation body (30) is elastically deformed such that the engagement between the engagement convex parts (13) and the engagement concave parts (35 to 37) can be released between a first position, in which the secured contact points (16 to 20) come into contact with the moveable contact points (38a, 38b) and in which the engagement convex parts (13) engage with the engagement concave parts (35 to 37), and a second position that is different from the first position. As a consequence, it is possible to make the switch thinner and to reduce the number of components without losing the clicking feeling.
