Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a remote control switch.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to remotely control an electric device, the electric device may be connected to a switch via a cord. Many conventional switches of this type are provided with a switch integrally provided in a case for accommodating a battery. Therefore, the case is provided with a battery storage section, a battery insertion / removal opening, a lid for opening / closing the battery insertion / removal opening, and a switch, so that the number of parts is increased and manufacturing and assembly are troublesome. However, there is a complaint that the cost is high. Also,
There is also a dissatisfaction that conventional switches are difficult to operate because of the slide type.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention can reduce the number of parts and the number of manufacturing and assembling steps by integrating a cover and a switch for opening and closing a battery insertion / removal opening of a case, thereby reducing cost. It is an object of the present invention to provide a remote control switch that can be operated and is easy to operate.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a remote control switch according to the present invention is provided with a battery insertion / removal port 4 at one end of a case 1 having a battery storage section 2 therein. Rotating body 5 so as to close battery insertion / extraction port 4
Is detachably attached to the case 1, and a contact 6 which is brought into contact with or non-contact with the terminal of the battery 3 housed in the battery housing 2 by turning operation of the rotating body 5 to turn on or off the switch. It is characterized by being attached to the rotating body 5.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, case 1 has battery 3 inside.
Are provided in parallel, and a battery insertion / removal port 4 is provided at the upper end. Also,
A spring contact 7 is provided on a bottom surface inside the case 1, and a cord 8 connected to the spring contact 7 penetrates from the bottom of the case 1 to the outside. An arbitrary electric device such as a vibrator can be connected to the end of the cord 8. The case 1 is formed of plastic, and provided at the upper end portions of both side surfaces with a support piece 10 which is easily elastically deformed and sandwiched by two slits 9, and a bearing hole 11 is formed in the support piece 10. ing.

A rotating body 5 is attached to the upper end of the case 1 so as to close the battery insertion / extraction port 4.
The rotating body 5 has a substantially horizontal cylindrical shape, and has rotating shaft portions 12 projecting from both end surfaces thereof, and the rotating shaft portions 12 are inserted into bearing holes 11 provided in the support pieces 10 of the case 1. By doing so, it is rotatably attached to the case 1. In addition, the rotating body 5 elastically deforms the support piece 10 of the case 1 to the outside, and removes the rotary shaft portion 12 from the bearing hole 11 of the support piece 10, so that the battery 3 can be replaced. 1 can be easily removed. That is, the rotating body 5 is detachably attached to the case 1 and can serve as a lid for opening and closing the battery insertion / extraction port 4.

The rotating body 5 has a claw 13 projecting from the upper surface so as to be exposed to the outside of the case 1. The claw pieces 13 allow the rotating body 5 to be easily rotated with a finger. In addition, a stopper 14 protrudes from a side surface of the rotating body 5. The stopper 14 stops the rotation of the rotating body 5 by contacting the upper edge of the case 1.

A contact 6 is attached to the lower surface of the rotating body 5 so as to be hidden inside the case 1. Two batteries 3 are stored in the battery storage portion 2 of the case 1 with one positive terminal 1 thereof.
5 is turned upward and the other negative terminal 16 is turned upward. Then, when the rotating body 5 is rotated to a predetermined position, for example, a position where the claw pieces 13 face upward as shown in FIG. Plus terminal 15;
The switch O contacts with the negative terminal 16 of the other battery.
The state is set to the N state. That is, this contact 6
Can serve as a lead wire connecting the plus terminal 15 of one battery 3 and the minus terminal 16 of the other battery. At this time, the two batteries 3 are connected in cascade via the contact 6, so that a current flows through the electric circuit and the electric equipment can be operated. At this time, the stopper 14 provided on the rotating body 5 comes into contact with the upper edge of the case 1 to stop the rotation of the rotating body 5, so that the switch ON state can be maintained.

Next, by rotating the rotating body 5 in the opposite direction,
When the claw 13 is turned to another position, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 and the claw 13 is rotated to a position where it comes into contact with the upper edge of the case 1, the claw 13 is attached to the rotating body 5. The above-mentioned contact 6 is connected to the plus terminal 15 of one battery 3.
Then, the other battery is brought into non-contact with the minus terminal 16 so that the switch is turned off. At this time, both batteries 3 are disconnected and no current flows in the electric circuit,
The operation of the electric device stops. That is, the rotating body 5 rotates to supply current to the electric circuit by rotating,
It can also serve as a switch for preventing current from flowing.

[0010]

The remote control switch of the present invention is as described above. The rotating body 5 attached to one end of the case 1 serves as a lid for opening and closing the battery insertion / removal port 4, and the rotating body 5 By attaching the contact 6 to the switch, it is possible to supply a current to the electric circuit or to function as a switch for preventing the current from flowing, so that it is not necessary to separately provide a lid and a switch in a case unlike a conventional product. In addition, the number of parts and the number of manufacturing and assembling steps can be reduced, and cost can be reduced. Further, since the switch can be turned on or off by rotating the rotating body 5, there is a merit that the operation is easier than the conventional slide type.
