Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein a slide-type switch mounted on a substrate inside and a slide-type lever attached to the exterior to operate the switch require a phase matching of the engaging position, which results in poor assembling efficiency. <P>SOLUTION: A slide lever mechanism comprises a slide-type lever in which an engaging portion to be engaged with a slide-type switch is given elasticity in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction and in a direction perpendicular to the exterior surface to thereby secure a relief in the case of misalignment of the engaging points. It is therefore possible to temporarily perform assembly without matching the phases. Then, by actuating the lever, the relief part recovers to the initial state at a position where the phases match, thereby enabling engagement at a normal position. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

従来のスライドレバーでは、その組み立て時にスライドスイッチとの位相合わせが必要であり、作業効率は悪かった。   Conventional slide levers require phase alignment with the slide switch during assembly, and work efficiency is poor.

本発明は、以上の点に着目して成されたもので、組み付け時における位相合わせ作業の必要が無く、作業性が大幅に向上し、製造コストが下がり安価な製品を提供することが可能となるスライドレバー機構を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made paying attention to the above points, and there is no need for a phase alignment operation at the time of assembly, and the workability is greatly improved, and it is possible to provide an inexpensive product with reduced manufacturing costs. An object of the present invention is to provide a slide lever mechanism.

(1) In a slide lever attached to the exterior for operating a slide switch mounted on an internal board, the fitting portion with the slide switch has elasticity in a direction perpendicular to the slide direction and perpendicular to the exterior surface. A slide lever mechanism characterized by

本発明によれば、組み付け時における位相合わせ作業の必要が無くなり、作業性は大幅に向上し、製造コストが下がるため安価な製品を提供することが可能となる。   According to the present invention, it is not necessary to perform the phase alignment work at the time of assembling, workability is greatly improved, and manufacturing costs are reduced, so that an inexpensive product can be provided.

以下本発明を実施するための最良の形態を、実施例により詳しく説明する。   Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples.

図1はスライドレバー3側嵌合部周辺を示している。外装カバー1を介してモードレバー2と組付いたスライドレバー3は、スライドスイッチ4との嵌合部近辺に、スライド方向と垂直方向かつ外装面と垂直方向である3a方向に弾性を持たせてある。この弾性は嵌合部の腕に段差をつけることにより形成し、腕部が弾性によりたわんだ状態で外装カバー1と接触することの無い構成を有している。   FIG. 1 shows the vicinity of the fitting portion on the slide lever 3 side. The slide lever 3 assembled with the mode lever 2 through the exterior cover 1 is provided with elasticity in the 3a direction which is perpendicular to the slide direction and perpendicular to the exterior surface in the vicinity of the fitting portion with the slide switch 4. is there. This elasticity is formed by providing a step on the arm of the fitting portion, and has a configuration in which the arm portion does not come into contact with the exterior cover 1 in a state where the arm portion is bent due to elasticity.

また、効果的な弾性を有するその他の形状として、図2に示すように腕部に肉薄部を形成してもよい。これはV字形状、U字形状、台形形状など、どのような形状でもよく、一部分でも肉薄部があればよい。   Further, as another shape having effective elasticity, a thin portion may be formed on the arm portion as shown in FIG. This may be any shape such as a V shape, a U shape, or a trapezoidal shape, as long as it has a thin portion.

また、図3に示すように、腕部全体を肉薄にして同様の効果を持たせることもできる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the entire arm portion can be made thin so as to have the same effect.

また、図4のような形状に曲げることでも効果的な弾性を持つことができる。   Further, it is possible to have effective elasticity by bending into a shape as shown in FIG.

これらの材質は樹脂製、金属製、いずれでもよく、弾性が期待できる材質であればよい。さらに、スライドレバー3には、スライドスイッチ4との組付け時接触側に嵌合部への導入となる斜面形状3bを施してある。この導入形状は図1に示すように、R形状3cでも良い。この構成では、スライドスイッチ4がどの位相にあってもスライドレバー3の嵌合部上面のいずれかに位置する関係になっている。この状態でモードレバー2とスライドレバー3が取り付いた外装カバー1を、フレキシブル基板5に実装されているスライドスイッチ4が固定されたプレート6に組み込むことになる。この時位相がずれてスライドレバー3が嵌合溝に位置していない場合でも、前記弾性によりスライドレバー3が沈み込み、一時的に組み込むことが可能となる。その後、スライドレバー3に取り付いたモードレバー2を可動範囲内でスライドさせると、弾性により位相が合った位置でスライドレバー3が元に戻り、正規の位置で嵌合することになる。この際、前記スライドレバー3に施した導入形状3bまたは3cにより、正規の位置への嵌合がスムーズに行われる。   These materials may be either resin or metal, as long as they can be expected to be elastic. Further, the slide lever 3 is provided with an inclined surface shape 3b that is introduced into the fitting portion on the contact side when the slide switch 4 is assembled. The introduction shape may be an R shape 3c as shown in FIG. In this configuration, the slide switch 4 is positioned on any one of the upper surfaces of the fitting portion of the slide lever 3 regardless of the phase. In this state, the exterior cover 1 to which the mode lever 2 and the slide lever 3 are attached is incorporated into the plate 6 to which the slide switch 4 mounted on the flexible substrate 5 is fixed. At this time, even when the phase is shifted and the slide lever 3 is not positioned in the fitting groove, the slide lever 3 sinks due to the elasticity and can be temporarily incorporated. Thereafter, when the mode lever 2 attached to the slide lever 3 is slid within the movable range, the slide lever 3 returns to the original position at the position where the phase is matched due to elasticity, and is fitted at the regular position. At this time, the fitting to the regular position is smoothly performed by the introduction shape 3b or 3c applied to the slide lever 3.

図5は、前記同様6a方向の弾性をスライドスイッチ4が取り付いているプレート6に持たせた場合を示している。この弾性は、プレート6のスライドスイッチ4固定部周辺に切欠き形状6bを設けることにより形成している。   FIG. 5 shows a case where the plate 6 to which the slide switch 4 is attached has elasticity in the 6a direction as described above. This elasticity is formed by providing a notch 6b around the fixed portion of the slide switch 4 of the plate 6.

また、図6に示すように、プレート6のスライドスイッチ4固定部周辺に段曲げ6cを追加し、同様の弾性を効果的に持つこともできる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a step bend 6c can be added around the fixed portion of the slide switch 4 of the plate 6 to effectively have the same elasticity.

また、このスライドスイッチ4固定部周辺のみを、弾性を持つ異なる材質にすることにより、同様の弾性を形成こともできる。前述同様、位相がずれてスライドレバー3が嵌合溝に位置していない場合、プレート6の6a方向の弾性によりスライドスイッチ4が沈み込み、一時的に組み込むことが可能となる。その後、スライドレバー3に取り付いたモードレバー2を可動範囲内でスライドさせると、6a方向の弾性により位相が合った位置でスライドレバー3が元に戻り、正規の位置で嵌合することになる。   Moreover, the same elasticity can also be formed by making only the periphery of this slide switch 4 fixing | fixed part into the different material which has elasticity. As described above, when the phase is shifted and the slide lever 3 is not positioned in the fitting groove, the slide switch 4 sinks due to the elasticity of the plate 6 in the 6a direction and can be temporarily incorporated. Thereafter, when the mode lever 2 attached to the slide lever 3 is slid within the movable range, the slide lever 3 returns to the original position at the position where the phase is matched due to the elasticity in the 6a direction, and is fitted at the regular position.

図7は、デジタルカメラにおいて、外装カバー1とモードレバー2が組付けられた状態の外観図である。   FIG. 7 is an external view of the digital camera with the exterior cover 1 and the mode lever 2 assembled.

図8は本構成の組付け図であり、モードレバー2がリアカバー1を介してスライドレバー3に取り付けられ、リアカバー1の面上で図中上下方向にスライドすることになる。スライドスイッチ4はフレキシブル基板5に実装され、プレート6に固定されることになる。   FIG. 8 is an assembly diagram of this configuration, in which the mode lever 2 is attached to the slide lever 3 via the rear cover 1 and slides on the surface of the rear cover 1 in the vertical direction in the figure. The slide switch 4 is mounted on the flexible substrate 5 and fixed to the plate 6.
