Definitions

  • This invention relates to a switch adapted to be used as a remote controlling switch for a motor driven mirrors of a motor vehicle associated with a plurality of switch elements forming a switch for changing the polarity of a power supply.
  • Each of a pair of motor-driven mirrors mounted on a door, a fender or the like, of a motor vehicle has two electric motors, etc. in its driving section, said electric motors, etc. being controlled by means of a switch inside the vehicle so as to adjust the direction of inclination, horizontal or vertical, of each mirror.
  • the switch for controlling the motor-driven mirrors is required to have the functions of actuating each of said two electric motors of each mirror independently, and changing the polarity of electric power supply thereto. Also, the switch must be easy to fix in the instrument panel, etc.
  • this switch comprises a housing, an operation member disposed within said housing at a predetermined clearance from the inner walls of said housing, said operation member being adapted to rock from its neutral position in the directions meeting at right angles with one another, two switch elements disposed between a pair of plate-shaped electrodes via a pressure conductive rubber sheet and arranged by two at the four interval positions, and a switch for changing the polarity of a power supply is formed of said switch elements.
  • the prior art switch has a deep shape and cannot be made small because the operation member is rockably disposed within the housing and the switch elements are disposed between the operation member and the four inner walls of the housing. Also the switch is not very easy to fix in the instrument panel, etc. Furthermore, it does not provide sufficient assembling property and a good feeling of use because the operation member has almost no stroke and does not click at all.
  • a switch which has obviated the disadvantages of the prior art, and which comprises an insulating board arranged in a housing, a plurality of stationary contact elements, each of said elements formed of a pair of film electrodes and arranged around a specific central position on said insulating board, a pressure conductive rubber sheet forming switch elements laminated on said stationary contact elements together with the elements, operation buttons having pressing surfaces for driving said each switch element and arranged tiltably to the rubber sheet at said specific central position as a tiltable fulcrum, and a ball and socket bearing having spheres arranged at the fulcra and sphere retainers corresponding to said spheres, each of said spheres having a pin projected toward the tilting direction of said button, each of said sphere retainers having split grooves having narrow width slightly smaller than the diameter of said pin corresponding to each said pin and resettable force, thereby providing a resettable trend at said button via said pin and grooves.
  • a switch which comprises an insulating board, a plurality of stationary contact elements and a pressure conductive rubber sheet similarly to the first aspect, further a plurality of operation buttons, each of said operation buttons arranged on said rubber sheet and having a constantly resettable trend imparted thereto and an engaging pawl projected toward said pressing surface and.specific central position for driving said switch element, and a crown-shaped interceptor formed with a sawtoothed cam surface made of number of teeth different from the number of said buttons corresponding to said engaging pawls on the end face rotatably arranged at said specific central position for operating said corresponding switch element when said pawl is press-fitted into the deepest part of the concave on said sawtoothed cam surface, thereby preventing the simultaneous operations of said switch elements.
  • a switch which comprises similarly to the stationary contact elements on said insulating board of the above switch, further cushions of crest shape in section expanded toward said elements at the position arranged with said elements, movable contacts secured to the inside of the top of said cushion, pressing surfaces for driving said each switch element by pressing said cushions, and push buttons arranged tiltably and each of said buttons having projections arranged at the positions corresponding to said specific central position and the position corresponding to the intermediate positions between the arranging position of said cushions for preventing the simultaneous operation of said switch elements.
  • the switch according to the present invention can be adapted for use in the drive control of motor-driven mirrors of a motor vehicle.
  • each of the embodiments has its own advantages as follows:
  • the switch comprises a crest-shaped elastic portion disposed over the stationary contact elements, said elastic portions being respectively provided inside with movable contacts, and a tiltable operation button having projections for preventing the simultaneous closing of the switch elements
  • the operation button is inclined against the elastic force of the elastic portions and is returned to its original position thereby. Therefore, the operation button provides a more constant feeling of use and ensures smooth operation even after it is used for a long period of time.
  • the switch is inexpensive because the movable contacts do not have to be made of expensive pressure conductive rubber and even when they are they can be made smaller.
