2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various switch means have been proposed as a slide type operation switch for pressing a wave switch provided in a case body for turning on and off an electric device or the like from the upper side of the case body. Figure 15 shows
It is a block diagram which shows schematically an example of such a conventional slide type operation switch.

This slide type operation switch 101 has a structure in which a slide control plate 102 is slidably provided in a hole h1 formed in a main body cover 107 of an electric device. The slide control plate 102 has an operation protrusion 102a on its front surface and an operation protrusion 102b on its back surface.

The slide control plate 102 is slidably supported by a slide control plate accommodating portion (support) 112. In this example, the slide control plate accommodating portion (support) 112 is integrally formed with the main body cover body 107. Further, in this example, the circuit board 104 on which various electric components (electrical circuits and circuit components) are mounted is provided with through holes h2 at positions corresponding to the holes h1 formed in the main body cover body 107. The wave switch 105 is provided at a position corresponding to the position of the through hole h2. In this example, the wave switch 105 is the base circuit board 106.
Is attached to.

When the wave switch 105 is pushed by the slide type operation switch 101, the operation protrusion 102 provided on the front surface side of the slide control plate 102.
When the slide control plate 102 is slid by a,
The operating protrusion 102b is configured to push and operate the wave switch 105. This slide type operation switch 10
1, the slide control plate 10 is moved by the operation protrusion 102a.
When 2 is slid, the tip (lower end) e102b of the operating projection 102b linearly moves according to the movement of the slide control plate 102 (indicated by an imaginary line Or in FIG. 15).
See).

By the way, this slide type operation switch 1
01, the tip (lower end) e10 of the operating protrusion 102b
In the case where 2b makes a linear motion, in order to ensure the pushing operation of the wave switch 105, the tip (lower end) e102b of the operating projection 102b is moved to the wave switch 1
It is necessary to get closer to 05. However, the wave switch 105 has a rotation center axis serving as a non-moving axis, and when the tip (lower end) e102b of the operating projection 102b is excessively abutted on the rotation center axis of the wave switch 105, There is a problem that a force is required to slide the operation protrusion 102a, that is, the operation load of the operation protrusion 102a is heavy. Not only that, when the tip (lower end) e102b of the operating protrusion 102b is excessively abutted, an unreasonable force is applied to the wave switch 105, and in some cases, the wave switch 105 may be broken or the operating protrusion may be damaged. Piece 102b
There is a problem such as breaking.

Further, no matter how accurately the length of the operating projection 102b is optimized for the wave switch 105, for example, the mounting height of the wave switch 105 with respect to the base body 106 is In some products, the operating load of the operating protrusion 102a may be heavy due to variations in the parts, such as variations in the parts, and in some products, the pressing operation of the wave switch 105 (on / off operation). However, there is also a problem that the final product (electrical product) may have variations in the operability of the operation protrusion 102a and the pushing operation (on / off operation) of the wave switch 105 as a final product (electrical product). is there.

As a slide type operation switch for solving such a problem, a slide type operation switch as shown in FIG. 16 has already been proposed. The slide type operation switch 201 includes a slide control plate 202, an operation frame piece 203 provided on the back surface of the slide control plate 202, and an operation projection piece 204 provided on the operation frame piece 203.

When the wave switch 205 is pushed by the slide type operation switch 201, the slide control plate 202 is slid by an operation protrusion (not shown) provided on the surface side of the slide control plate 202. Then, the operating projection 204 pushes and operates the waveform operation unit 205a of the wave switch 205. In this slide type operation switch 201, the operation frame piece 203 provided on the rear surface side of the slide control plate 202 is elastically deformed by the force acting between the operation frame piece 203 and the wave switch 205.
However, since it does not come into contact with the wave switch 205 excessively, the problem that the operation load when the operation protrusion 102a is slid is heavy, as seen in the slide operation switch 101, can be solved to some extent.

[0010]

However, when the operation frame piece 203 is provided on the rear surface side of the slide control plate 202, the problem that the operation load when the slide type operation switch is slid is heavy is solved to some extent. However, since the operation frame piece 203 elastically deforms with respect to the back surface of the slide control plate 202, stress concentrates on the connection portion between the operation frame piece 203 and the slide control plate 202, and this connection portion is Fatigue easily occurs, and in some cases, the operation frame piece 203 comes off the slide control plate 202,
There is a problem.

Further, when the operation frame piece 203 provided on the rear surface side of the slide control plate 202 is weak in the elastic deformation up and down, the wave switch 205 cannot be pushed.
There is a problem that the certainty of the pressing operation (on / off) of the wave switch 205 is lacking. Further, the operation frame piece 203
For example, when the slide control plate 202 provided with is manufactured as an integrally molded product, the force by which the operation frame piece 203 elastically deforms with respect to the back surface of the slide control plate 202 is a pressing operation of the wave switch 205 (ON, Since it is closely related to the certainty of (OFF), there is a mutually contradictory technique of the ease of the operation of sliding the operation protrusion 102a and the certainty of the pushing operation (ON, OFF) of the wave switch 205. Control plate 20 in consideration of the physical problem
2. Easy operation of sliding the operation projection 102a and push operation (on / off) of the wave switch 205.
There is also a problem that the design is difficult because it must be attached in a shape that achieves a good balance with the certainty of.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and for example, the mounting height of the wave switch on the base body may vary depending on the parts. Even if there are variations, both the ease of operation of sliding the operation protrusion and the certainty of pushing (on / off) of the wave switch are always well balanced, and the slide operation switch 20
An object of the present invention is to provide a slide-type operation switch that does not require the operation frame piece 203 that is elastically deformed on the back surface side of the slide control plate 202 as in the first embodiment.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the technical problem of making a smooth slide operation of an operating projection and a reliable push operation of a wave switch compatible with each other when a slide operation switch is operated by sliding. Yes, shown below,
It includes three different types of inventions. First, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the tip of the actuating projection is not linearly moved, but is located above the center axis of rotation that is the immovable axis of the wave switch, and the tip moves away, and is related to the certainty of pushing operation of the wave switch. In each of the switching portions at both ends of a certain wave switch, the above problem is solved by approaching the wave switch and surely pushing the wave switch.

That is, the slide type operation switch according to a first aspect of the present invention is a slide control plate having an operation protrusion on the front surface and an operation protrusion protruding on the back side toward the waveform operation portion of the wave switch. And a slide control plate accommodating portion that extends below a hole formed in a proper position of the main body cover body and cooperates with a proper place of the main body cover body to slidably support the slide control plate, By operating the operation protrusion of the slide control plate to slide the slide control plate,
On the central axis of rotation of the wave switch, the operating projection is retracted to a position away from the surface of the wave switch, and the switching section at both ends of the wave operation section of the wave switch pushes and operates the wave switch. To exercise.

In this slide type operation switch, the tip of the slide type operation switch is located above the center axis of rotation of the wave switch, which is the immovable axis of the wave switch. At both ends of the wave switch, which are related to the reliability of the push operation of the wave switch, When the wave switch is approached, the wave switch is pushed firmly. That is, in this slide type operation switch, a sufficient space is provided between the surface of the wave switch and the tip of the operating projection above the rotation center axis that is the immobile axis of the wave switch. Even if the parts include, for example, a part with a high mounting height of the wave switch with respect to the base body, the tip of the operating projection piece is on the surface of the wave switch, and the rotation center axis is the immobile axis. In the position above, there is no excessive contact.

Therefore, in this slide type operation switch, even if there is a variation between the parts, a smooth slide operability of the operation protrusion can be realized irrespective of such variation. Not only this, with this slide type operation switch, when the operation protrusion is slid, the operating protrusions move in an arc shape at each position of the changeover portions at both ends of the wave switch to change the wave switch. Press each part to operate.

Therefore, this slide type operation switch is capable of reliably pushing each of the switching portions of the wave switch, and therefore is excellent in the certainty of pushing the wave switch. A preferable example of the slide type operation switch according to claim 2 is a mechanism in which the tip of the operation projection piece makes an arcuate movement when the operation protrusion of the slide operation switch according to claim 1 is slid. To propose.

That is, the slide type operation switch according to a second aspect is the slide type operation switch according to the first aspect, and the slide control plate has the operation protrusion at the position where the operation protrusion is provided on the back surface thereof. One side of the wave switch has a convex curve that defines the retracted amount for the wave operation section of the wave switch, and both sides of the peak are connected to the wave operation section of the wave switch so as to be continuous with the peak. It has a meandering surface that defines a depression curved valley on the side of the main body cover body that defines the pressing amount.

Here, the term "mountain" used in this specification.
Means a convex curved portion curved convexly in the wave switch direction, and “valley” means a concave curved portion curved concavely toward the main body cover side. With this slide type operation switch,
When the operation protrusion is slid, the slide control plate slides due to the cooperation of the proper position of the main body cover body that holds the slide control plate slidably and the meandering surface provided on the back surface of the slide control plate. exercise.

By the way, in this slide type operation switch, the meandering surface provided on the rear surface of the slide control plate is a convexly curved mountain on the side of the base body of the electric device at the position where the operating projection is provided. When the mountain is located on the proper position of the main body cover body (that is, the support portion of the slide control plate), the slide control plate moves toward the main body cover body.
As a result, the tip of the actuating protrusion is moved away from the surface of the wave switch at the position of the main body cover, that is, the position on the rotation center axis that is the immobile axis of the wave switch.

As a result, above the center axis of rotation, which is the immobile axis of the wave switch, a sufficient space can be formed between the surface of the wave switch and the tip of the actuating projection piece.
Even if the parts include, for example, parts with a high mounting height of the wave switch with respect to the base body, the tip of the actuating protrusion is located above the center of rotation of the wave switch on the surface of the wave switch. In the position of, there is no excessive contact.

Therefore, in this slide type operation switch, even if there is a variation between the parts, a smooth slide operability of the operation protrusion can be realized irrespective of such variation. Further, the meandering surface provided on the back surface of the slide control plate is a valley that is concavely curved toward the body cover of the electric device so as to be continuous with the ridges on both sides of the position where the operating protrusion is provided. Are formed.

As a result, when the valley of the meandering surface provided on the back surface of the slide control plate is located at an appropriate position of the main body cover body (that is, the support portion supporting the slide control plate), the slide control plate moves toward the base body. Moving. As a result, the tip of the actuating protrusion approaches the surface of the wave switch in the direction of the base body, that is, at the upper position of both ends of the wave switch, and secures each of the switching parts at both ends of the wave operation part of the wave switch. Press to operate.

Therefore, this slide type operation switch is
It also excels in the certainty of pushing the wave switch. In addition to this, in this slide type operation switch, the means for preventing the tip of the actuating projection from excessively abutting against the wave switch is not elastic deformation of the member but the back side of the slide control plate as a meandering surface. Because it is achieved by the shape,
By providing the slide control plate with an elastically deformable member, the elastically deformable member, such as a conventional slide type operation switch, in which the tip of the operating projection is excessively abutted against the wave switch, causes mechanical fatigue. Therefore, there is no problem that the slide control plate can be removed from the back side. In addition, the tip of the actuating protrusion performs a reliable operation on the back surface of the slide control plate in accordance with the meandering surface, so that the push operation of the wave switch is more reliable than a slide type operation switch using an elastically deformable member. ing.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a slide type operation switch, wherein the slide type operation switch according to the second aspect has a convex curved shape which supports a slide control plate slidably accommodated by a slide control plate accommodating portion. With this projection, the slide control plate slides on the projection when the meandering surface provided on the back surface of the slide control plate slides on the projection. Since it is supported by a single support shaft, the slide control plate can smoothly slide while tilting or the like according to the meandering surface provided on the back surface side of the slide control plate with the projection as a fulcrum.

Further, since the slide control plate and the pair of support pieces are achieved by the contact between the protrusion and the slide control plate, the contact area between the protrusion and the slide control plate is small. As a result, sliding friction can be reduced, so that a smooth slide operability of the operation protrusion can be realized with a small force. The slide type operation switch according to claim 4 is the slide type operation switch according to claim 2 or 3,
When the slide control plate slides on the surface of the slide control plate, the slide control plate prevents the rattling slide movement of the slide control plate at the part where the surface of the slide control plate slides in the slide control plate housing. In order to do so, a concave curved surface that is concave in the direction of the wave switch is provided.

When the slide control plate is slid while the back surface of the slide control plate is tilted along a meandering surface with a proper position (for example, a protrusion) of the main body cover serving as a fulcrum, the surface of the slide control plate is moved. If there is a space between the main body cover and the main body cover, or the slide control plate surface and the main body cover surface are in excessive contact with each other and rattling or applying no force, the slide movement May not do.

In this slide type operation switch, in order to prevent the slide movement of the slide control plate from rattling, the surface of the slide control plate is provided with a concave curved surface which is curved in the wave switch direction. . As a result, with this slide type operation switch, when the slide control plate slides, the slide control plate always slides while maintaining proper contact with the surface of the main body cover body, so that there is no rattling. , Slide smoothly.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a slide control switch, wherein the slide control switch according to any one of the first to fourth aspects provides a click feeling when a slide operation is performed on the operation protrusion. Adjustment protrusions were provided at both ends on the surface of the. With this slide type operation switch, the adjustment protrusions are provided at both ends on the surface of the slide control plate to give a click feeling when the operation protrusion is slid. It is possible to give an appropriate click feeling to the operator of the slide-type operation switch when it is located at the switching portion of each of the wave switches at the middle position and at both ends. In this way, with this slide type operation switch, by giving the operator a click feeling when operating the slide type operation switch, the user can feel secure that the wave switch is pushed (on / off operation). Can be given.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the slide control switch according to the second aspect, wherein the slide control plate accommodating portion has a slide control plate slidably accommodated in the slide control plate accommodating portion. It has a total of four protrusions that are paired with two and that are provided so as to project toward the cover body. When the slide control plate is slid, a total of four protrusions that are paired with two are provided. The meandering surface provided on the back surface of the slide control plate slides on the protrusion.

In this slide type operation switch, since the slide control plate is supported by the two support shafts, when the slide control plate is slid, the operating projection of the slide control plate is accurately moved in an arc shape. Can be made. This makes it possible to achieve both a smooth slide operation of the operation protrusion and a reliable push operation of the waveform operation section of the wave switch.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided a slide type operation switch according to the sixth aspect, wherein the slide control plate is provided with the operating protrusion, and the waveform of the wave switch is formed on the operating protrusion. The amount of depression of the wave switch to the waveform operation unit is defined so as to define the amount of withdrawal with respect to the operation unit, to have a concavely curved valley in the wave switch direction, and to be continuous with the valley on both sides of the valley, respectively. It has a waveform with a convexly curved peak on the wave switch side.

Also in this slide type operation switch, the tip of the slide operation switch is located above the center axis of rotation of the wave switch, which is the immobile axis, and the ends of the wave switch are related to the certainty of the push operation of the wave switch. When the wave switch is approached, the wave switch is pushed firmly. That is, in this slide type operation switch, a sufficient space is provided between the surface of the wave switch and the tip of the operating projection above the rotation center axis that is the immobile axis of the wave switch. Even if the parts include, for example, a part with a high mounting height of the wave switch with respect to the base body, the tip of the operating projection piece is on the surface of the wave switch, and the rotation center axis is the immobile axis. In the position above, there is no excessive contact.

Therefore, with this slide type operation switch, even if there are variations between the parts, it is possible to realize smooth slide operability of the operation protrusion regardless of such variations. Not only this, with this slide type operation switch, when the operation protrusion is slid, the operating protrusions move in an arc shape at each position of the changeover portions at both ends of the wave switch to change the wave switch. Press each part to operate.

Therefore, this slide type operation switch is capable of reliably pushing each of the switching portions of the wave switch, so that the push operation of the wave switch is excellent in reliability. Furthermore, with this slide type operation switch, since the slide control plate is made to be corrugated, and when the slide control plate is slid and moved, the corrugated slide control plate moves on the two spindles. The operating projection of the plate can be accurately moved in an arc shape with good reproducibility.

As a result, both a smooth sliding operation of the operating projection and a reliable pushing operation of the waveform operating section of the wave switch can be achieved. According to a second aspect of the present invention, an actuating protrusion of a slide control plate of a slide type operation switch for pushing and operating a wave switch is provided between a main body cover body of an electric device and, for example, a wave switch mounted on a base body. We propose a slide-type operation switch that can be set to the optimum position for pushing and operating the wave switch regardless of the interval.

That is, the slide type operation switch according to the present invention is a slide type operation switch, wherein the waveform operation part of the wave switch of the electric device can be pushed by a slide operation. Equipped with an operating protrusion,
Further, on the back surface, there is provided a slide control plate having an actuating protrusion protruding toward the waveform operation portion side of the wave switch, and the slide control plate is a side of the frame body of the wave switch to which the rotation center axis of the wave switch is attached. On a pair of frame pieces facing each other,
It is slidably engaged.

In this slide type operation switch, not directly on the main body cover but directly on the wave switch frame,
Since the slide control plate is slidably engaged, if the length of the operating projection provided on the slide control plate is optimized for pushing the waveform operation part of the wave switch in advance, it will always be optimal. You can press the wave switch with simple operation.

A third aspect of the present invention prevents excessive contact between the actuating projection and the wave switch at a position on the center axis of rotation which is the immobile axis of the wave switch, which is a problem with the slide type operation switch. By doing so, it is proposed that both the smooth sliding operation of the operating projection and the reliable pushing operation of the wave switch are made compatible. That is, the slide type operation switch according to claim 9 is slidably provided in a slide control plate accommodating portion provided at an appropriate position of the main body cover body, and is configured to push and operate the wave switch. The slide control plate is provided with an operation protrusion on its front surface and a pair of operation protrusions provided on its back surface so as to protrude toward the waveform operation portion of the wave switch. The actuating protrusions are arranged in parallel with each other in a diagonal direction so as to sandwich the waveform operating section of the wave switch at positions corresponding to both ends of the waveform operating section of the wave switch in the direction aligned with the rotation center axis of the wave switch. When the operating protrusion provided on the front surface of the slide control plate is operated to slide, the waveform of the wave switch is generated at each tip of the pair of operating protrusions provided on the back surface of the slide control plate. It has to be depressed each switching unit at both ends of the work unit.

In this slide type operation switch, a pair of actuating projections is provided on the back surface of the slide control plate so as to correspond to the respective switching sections at both ends of the wave operation section of the wave switch. That is, in this slide type operation switch, a pair of actuating projections is provided so as to avoid the position on the rotation center axis which is the immobile axis of the wave switch.

Therefore, in this slide type operation switch, the operating projection of the slide control plate is excessively moved to the wave switch at a position on the center axis of rotation which is the immovable axis of the wave switch like the conventional slide type operation switch. Since the problem of abutting against the contact does not occur, the wave switch can be pushed by a smooth sliding operation of the operating protrusion. According to a tenth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the slide type operation switch according to the ninth aspect, wherein the tip end of each of the pair of actuating protrusions of the slide type operation switch according to the ninth aspect is aligned with the rotation center axis direction of the wave switch. An inclined flank is provided so as to taper toward the tip.

In the slide type operation switch according to a ninth aspect of the present invention, each of the pair of actuating projections is not a corrugated surface of the wave switch, but each side of the wave operation portion of the wave switch is switched from its side. Press the part to operate. In this case, when the surface of each of the pair of actuating protrusions and the side surface of the corrugated surface of the wave switch are in a relationship of colliding with each other, each of the pair of actuating protrusions is corrugated with the wave switch. The force that acts between the surface and the side surface is not converted into the force that pushes the switching parts at both ends of the wave operation part of the wave switch, and the pushing operation of each of the switching parts at both ends of the wave operation part of the wave switch is performed. There is a problem that can not be done smoothly.

In order to solve such a problem, in this slide type operation switch, the tips of the pair of actuating projections are aligned with the direction of the rotation center axis of the wave switch so that they move toward each tip. It has a flank that slopes to taper. When the flanks provided on each of the pair of actuating projections come into contact with the side surfaces of the corrugated surface of the wave switch, each of the pair of actuating projections is moved upward by the flanks (that is, the main body cover body). Direction), and by sliding the slide control plate of the slide-type operation switch, the lateral force acting on each of the pair of actuating protrusions is applied to each of both ends of the waveform operation section of the wave switch. It is converted into the force to push and operate the switching unit.

That is, in this slide type operation switch,
At the tip of each of the pair of actuating protrusions, a flank that is inclined so as to taper toward each tip is provided so as to be aligned with the rotation center axis direction of the wave switch. Push operation can be done smoothly.
Not only that, by sliding the slide control plate of the slide-type operation switch, the lateral force acting on each of the pair of actuating protrusions causes the slide control plate to move by the flanks provided on each of the pair of actuating protrusions. Since the force in the upward direction (that is, the direction of the main body cover) and the force for pushing and operating the switching portions at both ends of the waveform operating portion of the wave switch are converted,
When the slide control plate is slid, the lateral force acting on each of the pair of actuating protrusions does not apply an unreasonable force to the pair of actuating protrusions or the wave switch, so that there is no problem of breaking them.

According to an eleventh aspect of the present invention, in the slide type operation switch according to any one of the first to tenth aspects, the operation protrusion provided on the surface of the slide control plate is covered with a decorative cover. It is being appreciated. In this slide type operation switch, since the operation projection provided on the surface of the slide control plate is covered with the decorative cover, the appearance of the electric device is excellent in appearance.

The electric equipment according to claim 12 is the electric equipment according to claim 1.
The slide operation switch according to any one of 1 to 11 is provided. In this electric device, since the slide type operation switch according to any one of claims 1 to 11 is used as the slide type operation switch, an electric product capable of smoothly and reliably pushing the wave switch is supplied to the market. can do.

The housing information described in claim 13 corresponds to claim 1
The slide operation switch according to any one of 1 to 11 is provided. In this house information, since the slide type operation switch according to any one of claims 1 to 11 is used as a means for performing the pushing operation (on / off operation) of the wave switch, the pushing operation of the wave switch (simple and reliable) ( ON / OFF operation) can be performed.

And the pair of support pieces 13a, 13a) slides the slide control plate 12 slidably accommodated by the slide control plate accommodating portion (in this example, the pair of protruding portions 14, 14 and the pair of support pieces 13a, 13a). It is provided with protrusions p, p that are supported in a convex shape in the direction of the main body cover body 7.

Next, the operation of the slide-type operation switch 11 when the switching portion R2 is pushed to switch the wave switch 5 will be described.

The operation projection 12a provided on the surface of the slide control plate 12 is slid (in the direction of the arrow shown by the solid line in FIG. 1A). Then, a portion of the convex curved portion (mountain) F1 provided on the back surface side of the slide control plate 12 and convexly curved in the direction of the wave switch 5 is provided on each of the pair of support pieces 13a, 13a. It is located on each of the support claws n, n.

Wave switch 5
In the portion of the convex curved portion (mountain) F1 that is curved convex in the direction,
Since it is supported by the support claws n, n,
It moves in an arcuate motion toward the main body cover 7) (see FIG. 1B).

As a result, the tip (lower end) e12b of the operating protrusion 12b provided on the back surface of the slide control plate 12 is
Since the state is retracted from the wave switch 5, the tip (lower end) e12b of the operating projection 12b and the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 are located at a position on the rotation center axis ax that is the immobile axis of the wave switch 5. There is a space between them. still,
The retracted amount by which the tip (lower end) e12b of the operating projection 12b retracts from the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 can be defined by the height of the convex curved portion (mountain) F1.

At this time, the operating protrusion 12b provided on the back surface of the slide control plate 12 comes to the position of the switching portion R2 of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5, but the slide control plate 12 is on the back surface side of the slide control plate 12. At the portion of the concave curved surface (valley) F2 that is concavely curved toward the main body cover 7 side and is supported by the support claws n, n, downward (that is, the wave switch 5 direction), The switching section R2 of the waveform operating section 5a of the wave switch 5 is moved in an arc shape (see FIG. 1B).

The tip (lower end) e12 of the operating projection 12b is
The amount by which b presses down the switching portion R2 of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 can be defined by the depth of the concave curved surface (valley) F2. In the above description, the description has been centered on the operation of switching the wave switch 5 from the switching unit R1 to the switching unit R2, but the operation of switching the wave switch 5 from the switching unit R2 to the switching unit R1 is performed in the reverse order of the above. The same operation as described above can be performed, and the operation is the same except that the sliding direction of the slide control plate 12 is reversed, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

In each of FIGS. 1 (b) and 1 (c), a curved line Or shown by an imaginary line schematically shows the locus of the tip (lower end) e12b of the operating projection 12b. In this slide type operation switch 11, the tip (lower end) of the slide switch 5 moves away above the rotation center axis ax which is the immobile axis of the wave switch 5, and the wave switch 5 that is related to the certainty of the push operation of the wave switch 5 is concerned. At both ends (that is, the switching units R1 and R2 of the waveform operating unit 5a of the wave switch 5), the wave switch 5 (more specifically, the waveform operating unit 5a of the wave switch 5 is switched). Each of the portions R1 and R2) is surely pushed.

That is, in this slide type operation switch 11, the surface of the wave switch 5 (more specifically, the waveform operation portion 5a of the wave switch 5 is located above the rotation center axis ax which is the immovable axis of the wave switch 5. Surface) and the operating projection 12
Since a sufficient distance is provided between the tip (lower end) e12b of b, the wave switch for the base circuit board (the base circuit board 6 shown in FIG. 3) is temporarily included in the assembly parts. Even if a component having a high mounting height of 5 is included, the tip (lower end) e12b of the operating projection 12b is included.

Therefore, the slide type operation switch 11 is capable of reliably pushing each of the switching portions R1 and R2 of the wave switch 5, and therefore is excellent in the certainty of pushing the wave switch 5. Further, in this slide type operation switch 11, since the slide control plate 12 is supported by the one support shaft by the protrusions n, n, the slide control plate 12 uses the protrusions n, n as a fulcrum to perform slide control. Board 11
According to the meandering surface Ss provided on the back surface side of the, the slide movement can be performed smoothly while inclining or the like.

Further, the slide control plate 12 and the pair of support pieces 13a, 13a are formed by the projections n, n and the slide control plate 1.
The contact area between the projections n, n and the slide control plate 12 is small because it is achieved by contact with the slide control plate 12. As a result, sliding friction can be reduced, and thus a smooth slide operability of the operation protrusion 12a can be realized with a small force. Furthermore, in this slide type operation switch 11, the operation protrusion 1
In order to make the slide operation of 2a smooth and give the operator a sense of security, the following measures are taken.

(More specifically, in order to prevent the rattling slide movement of the slide control plate 12 at the portion sliding on the pair of overhanging portions 14, 14, a concave shape curved in the wave switch direction is formed. The concave curved surfaces F5 and F5 are provided. As a result, when the slide control plate 12 slides according to the meandering surface Ss provided on the back side thereof,

Further, the operating projection 12b of the wave switch 5
However, as shown in FIG. 1C, when the switching portion R1 is pushed, the other one of the adjusting protrusions pc and pc is moved to the slide control plate accommodating portion, more specifically, a pair of protrusions. Part 14,
By being located below the other side of 14, the pair of overhanging portions 1
The other of 4 and 14 is elastically deformed to give a click feeling to the operator.

The shape of the inclined surface of each of the adjusting projections pc and pc is the same as the shape of the meandering surface Ss provided on the back surface side of the slide control plate 12 and each of the pair of overhanging portions 14 and 14. , The bent portion 1 formed by each of the wall surfaces of the hole h1
It is determined by the positions and shapes of 4c and 14c. Further, in this example, the operating projection 12 is provided on the surface of the slide control plate 12.
As shown in FIG. 5, a convex convex curved surface F6 that is convexly curved is provided above the position where b is provided, in the direction of the main body cover body 7, and the operating projection 12b of the wave switch 5 is provided.
However, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), when the switching portion R1 is moved to the side where the pushing operation is performed, the convex curved surface F6 enters the lower side of one of the pair of overhanging portions 14 and 14, One of the pair of overhanging portions 14, 14 is elastically deformed to give the operator a click feeling.

Also, the operating projection 12b of the wave switch 5
However, as shown in FIG. 1B, when it comes to a position above the rotation center axis ax that is the immobile axis of the wave switch 5, the convex curved surface F6 causes the slide control plate accommodating portion, more specifically, By being located inward of both of the pair of overhanging portions 14, 14, the slide control plate accommodating portion, more specifically, the pair of overhanging portions 1
It is made possible to give a click feeling to the operator by the restoring force when one of the members 4 and 14 returns from the elastically deformed state to the original state.

Furthermore, the operating projection 12b of the wave switch 5
However, as shown in FIG. 1 (c), when the switching portion R1 is pushed, the convex curved surface F6 is moved to the slide control plate accommodating portion, more specifically, the pair of protruding portions 14, By being located on the lower side of the other side of 14, the other side of the pair of overhanging portions 14, 14 is elastically deformed, so that the operator can be given a click feeling.

As described above, in this slide type operation switch 11, by giving a click feeling to the operator when the slide type operation switch 11 is operated, the pushing operation (on / off operation) of the wave switch 5 is surely performed. You can now give a sense of security that you have been broken.

Note that, in FIG. 7, for ease of explanation, of the constituent members of the slide type operation switch 21, members corresponding to those of the slide type operation switch 11 are designated by the corresponding reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. Is omitted.

The slide type operation switch 21 includes a slide control plate accommodating portion (in this example, a pair of support pieces 13a,
Two projections (projection n1 on one side in FIG. 8) provided so as to project in the direction of the main body cover body 7 on each of 13a.
Only n2 is shown, and two projections on the other side, which are paired with the projections n1 and n2, are not shown. )

It has a waveform having convex curved portions (peaks) F7 and F8 peaks that are convexly curved toward the wave switch 5 side, which defines the amount of pressing with respect to 2).

In this slide type operation switch 21, the operation protrusion 12a is slid to operate the slide control plate 12
Slide to make a total of 4 pairs,
The meandering surface Ss provided on the back surface of the slide control plate 12 slides on a protrusion provided so as to project toward the main body cover body 7. Further, in this example, the tip of each of the wall surfaces 7a, 7a (or the pair of overhanging portions 14, 14) forming the hole portion h1 of the main body cover body 4 is lowered (more specifically, the wave switch 5). Direction), the slide control plate accommodating portion (in this example, each of the pair of support pieces 13a, 13a) is provided with four protrusions (one in FIG. 7) provided to project in the direction of the main body cover body 7. Only the protrusions n1 and n2 on the side are shown, and the two protrusions on the other side that are paired with the protrusions n1 and n2 are not shown. 8, the protrusion n1 on one side,

The corrugated slide control plate 22 has a total of four protrusions, two on each of the pair of support pieces 13a, 13a, and the wall surfaces 7a, 7a (or the pair of protrusions 1).
4, 14), each of which is slidably held by four protrusions, two protrusions provided at each tip. In this slide type operation switch 21, when the operation projection 12a is slid to move the operation projection 12b to a position above the rotation center axis ax that is the immovable axis of the waveform operation section 5a of the wave switch 5, As shown in FIG. 8 (a), the slide control plate accommodating portion (in this example, each of the pair of support pieces 13a, 13a) is provided with four protrusions (see FIG. In FIG. 7, only the projections n1 and n2 on one side are shown, and the two projections on the other side which are paired with the projections n1 and n2 are not shown.) On the slide control plate 22. Convex curved portion (mountain) F, which is provided on the back surface side of the
7 and F8 are located, the slide control plate 22 moves upward, more specifically, toward the main body cover body 7.

As a result, the tip (lower end) e12b of the actuating projection 12b moves upward, more specifically, toward the main body cover body 7, and serves as an immovable shaft of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5. At a position above the central axis ax,
A sufficient distance Dx is formed between the tip (lower end) e12b of the operating projection 12b and the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, in this slide type operation switch 21, for example, the operation protrusion 12a is used.
When the operating projection 12a is slid in order to push and operate the switching portion R2 of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 by sliding the operating projection 12b, the operating projection 12b moves the switching portion R2. When located above the

The wave switch 5 is provided on the back side of the slide control plate 22 on each of the other protrusions (not shown) on the other side.
Since the convex curved portion (mountain) F7 that is curved in a convex shape is located on the side, the slide control plate 22 moves downward, more specifically, in the direction of the wave switch 5.

As a result, the tip (lower end) e12b of the actuating projection 12b moves downward, more specifically, in the direction of the wave switch 5, so that the switching section R2 of the waveform operating section 5a of the wave switch 5 moves. A reliable pushing operation is achieved.
The operation of sliding the operation projection 12a using the slide type operation switch 21 and pushing the switching section R1 of the waveform operation section 5a of the wave switch 5 with the operation projection 12b is performed by the operation projection. The waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 is the same except that the direction in which the slide operation of 12a is performed is opposite.
Since the operation is the same as the operation of pressing the switching unit R2, the description thereof is omitted here.

In this slide type operation switch 21, when the operation protrusion 12a is slid similarly to the slide type operation switch 11, the tip (lower end) e of the operation protrusion 12b is moved.
12b is a switching unit R of the waveform operating unit 5a of the wave switch 5.

In this case, an arcuate movement is made so as to retreat from the surface (see the locus Or of the tip (lower end) e12b of the operating projection 12b shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 8B).

Also in this slide type operation switch 21, the tip (lower end) e12b of the slide type operation switch 21 is located above the rotation center axis ax which is the immovable axis of the wave switch 5 and is related to the certainty of the pushing operation of the wave switch 5. At both ends of the wave switch (more specifically, each of the switching units R1 and R2 of the waveform operation unit 5a of the wave switch 5), the wave switch 5 (more specifically,
Each of the switching portions R1 and R2 of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 is surely pushed.

That is, in this slide type operation switch 21, above the rotation center axis ax which is the immobile axis of the wave switch 5, between the surface of the wave switch 5 and the tip (lower end) e12b of the operating projection 12b. Is provided with a sufficient distance Dx, so that, for example, in the assembly parts, for example, with respect to the base circuit board (base circuit board 6 shown in FIG. 3),
Even if the wave switch 5 includes a component having a high mounting height, the tip (lower end) e12b of the operating projection 12b is formed on the surface of the wave switch 5 as a stationary axis of rotation a.
In the position above x, there is no excessive contact.

Therefore, this slide type operation switch 21
Then, even if there is a variation between the assembled parts, a smooth slide operability of the operation protrusion 12a can be realized irrespective of such variation. Not only this, in this slide type operation switch 21, when the operation protrusion 12a is slid, the operating protrusion 12b moves in an arc at each position of the switching portions R1 and R2 at both ends of the wave switch 5. Then, each of the switching portions R1 and R2 of the wave switch 5 is pushed and operated.

Therefore, even with this slide type operation switch 21, each of the switching portions R1 and R2 of the wave switch 5 can be surely pushed, so that the push operation of the wave switch 5 is highly reliable. Furthermore, in this slide type operation switch 21, since the slide control plate 22 is corrugated, when the slide control plate 22 is slid, the corrugated slide control plate 22 moves on the two spindles. As a result, the operating projection 12b of the slide control plate 22 can be accurately moved in an arc shape with good reproducibility.

As a result, both a smooth slide operation of the operation projection 12a and a reliable push operation of the waveform operation section 5a of the wave switch 5 can be achieved.

Is attached to the frame body 5f of the wave switch 5, the operating projection 12b is adjusted to a length that allows the pushing operation of the waveform operating section 5a of the wave switch 5 to be optimally performed, so that the switching section R1 is reliably operated. It is being pushed.

Next, in order to perform the pushing operation of the switching portion R2, the operation projection 12a is moved in the direction in which the switching portion R2 is present.
When the slide operation is performed, at the stage shown in FIG. 12 (b), the switching unit R1 is in the pushed state.
The actuating projection 12b comes into contact with the surface of a, so that the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 is brought into a neutral state as shown in FIG. 12 (c).

Further, when the operating projection 12a is slid in the direction in which the switching portion R2 is present, as shown in FIG. 12D, the operating projection 12b is in the neutral state. 5 is abutted on the surface of the waveform operation unit 5a,
The switching unit R2 of the waveform operating unit 5a of the wave switch 5 is in a pressed state (see FIG. 12D). The operation of the slide-type operation switch 41 when the switching section R2 of the waveform operating section 5a of the wave switch 5 is switched from the pressed state to the switched section R1 is performed in the reverse order of the above. Since it can be performed in the same manner, detailed description thereof will be omitted here for ease of description.

In this slide type operation switch 41, not the main body cover body 7 but the frame body 5f of the wave switch 5 is used.
(To be more specific, a pair of frame pieces sw, s
Since the slide control plate 42 is slidably engaged with the slide control plate 42, the length of the operating projection 12b provided on the slide control plate 42 can be determined in advance by setting the slide control plate 42 to the frame of the wave switch 5. After being attached to the body 5f (more specifically, a pair of frame pieces sw, sw), if it is optimized to push and operate the waveform operation unit 5a of the wave switch 5, it is always an optimal operation. , Push the wave switch. (Third Embodiment of the Invention) FIG. 13 is a configuration diagram schematically showing a main part configuration of another example of the slide type operation switch according to the present invention.

This slide type operation switch 51 includes a main body cover body (see the main body cover body 7 shown in FIGS. 2 and 9).
Slide control plate accommodating portion (a pair of supporting pieces 13a, 13a shown in FIG. 5) provided in a hole portion (see the hole portion h1 provided in the main body cover body 7 shown in FIG. 3) provided at an appropriate position
A slide control plate 52 that is slidably accommodated.

The slide control plate 52 has an operation projection 12a on its front surface, and a pair of operation projections 53 provided on its back surface so as to project toward the waveform operation sections of the pair of wave switches. 54 is provided. A pair of operating projections 53, 5
Reference numeral 4 denotes a waveform operation of the wave switch 5 at a position corresponding to each of both ends of the wave operation section 5a of the wave switch 5 (that is, the switching sections R1 and R2) in a direction aligned with the rotation center axis ax of the wave switch 5. The portions 5a are sandwiched and are arranged in parallel in an oblique cross.

Further, the tip ends (lower ends) of the pair of actuating projections 53, 54 are tapered toward the respective tip ends (lower ends) so as to be aligned with the rotation center axis ax direction of the wave switch 5. Inclined flanks 53a, 54a are provided. FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram for schematically explaining the operation of the slide operation switch 51.

More specifically, the drawings shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b) show a slide type operation switch 51.
Thus, the switching unit R2 of the waveform operating unit 5a of the wave switch 5
Of the slide type operation switch 51 at the time of switching from the state in which is pressed to the state in which the switching unit R1 is pressed.
Shows the operation of. FIG. 14A shows the wave switch 5
2 shows the state after the switching portion R2 of the waveform operating portion 5a has been pushed by the operating projection 54.

From the state shown in FIG. 14A (that is, the state where the switching portion R2 of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 is pushed), the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 is changed.
When the switching portion R1 is switched to the pressed state, the operation protrusion 12a provided on the surface of the slide control plate 52 is slid in the direction aligned with the rotation center axis ax (FIG. 14 (a)). ), The direction of the white arrow).

Then, among the pair of actuating projections 53, 54,
The operating protrusion 53 contacts the switching portion R1 of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5. The flanks 53 are inclined so as to taper toward the tips (lower ends) of the pair of actuating projections 53.
a is provided. Therefore, when the operating protrusion 53 comes into contact with the switching portion R1 of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5,
The flank 53a provided on the actuation projection 53 tries to move upward (that is, toward the main body cover body 7), whereby the slide control plate 52 is slid so that the lateral force acting on the actuation projection 53 is exerted. But wave switch 5
Is converted into a force for pushing the switching unit R1 of the waveform operating unit 5a.

By the slide type operation switch 51,
When the switching portion R1 of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5 is switched from the pushed state to the switching portion R2, the state shown in FIG.
When the operating projection 12a is slid in the direction opposite to the white arrow shown in 4 (a), the switching portion R2 is switched to the pressed state by the operation reverse to the above.

In this slide type operation switch 51, a pair of actuating projections is provided on the back surface of the slide control plate 52 so as to correspond to the respective switching sections R1 and r2 at both ends of the waveform operation section 5a of the wave switch 5. 53 and 54 are provided. That is, in the slide type operation switch 51, the pair of actuating projections 53 and 54 are provided so as to avoid the position above the rotation center axis ax that is the immovable axis of the wave switch 5.

Therefore, this slide type operation switch 51
Then, like the conventional slide type operation switch 101,
The operating protrusions 53, 54 of the slide control plate 52 are located above the rotation center axis ax, which is the immobile axis of the wave switch 105.
However, since the problem of excessive contact with the surface of the wave switch 5 does not occur, the wave switch 5 can be pushed by a smooth sliding operation of the operation projection 12A.

Further, in this slide type operation switch 51, the tip ends (lower ends) of the pair of actuating projections 53, 54 are respectively formed.
Further, since the flanks 53a and 54a are provided so as to be tapered toward the respective tip ends (lower ends) so as to be aligned with the rotation center axis ax direction of the wave switch 5, the waveform operating portion of the wave switch 5 is provided. The pushing operation of 5a can be performed smoothly.

Not only the slide type operation switch 51
By slidingly moving the slide control plate 52 of FIG.
3a and 54a exert a force on the slide control plate 52 in the upward direction (that is, the direction of the main body cover 7) and a force to push and operate the switching portions R1 and R2 at both ends of the waveform operating portion 5a of the wave switch 5. Therefore, by sliding the slide control plate 51, the pair of actuating projections 53, 54 is moved.
The lateral force acting on each of the
There is no problem that unreasonable force is applied to 54 and the wave switch 5 and they are broken.

In the above description, the housing information board has been described as an example, but the sliding operation switch according to the present invention is not limited to the sliding operation switch for housing information boards, and various types of housings can be used. It can be suitably used as a switch for electric equipment. Further, by covering the operation protrusion with the decorative cover (the decorative cover 10 shown in FIG. 3), it is possible to further improve the appearance of the electric device such as the housing information panel.

[0122]

As described above in detail, the first aspect of the present invention is as follows.
Alternatively, in the slide type operation switch according to claim 2, both ends of the wave switch that are related to the certainty of the push operation of the wave switch are located away from the tip end of the slide operation switch above the rotation center axis that is the immobile axis of the wave switch. In (1), the wave switch is approached, and the wave switch is surely pushed.

That is, in this slide type operation switch,
Above the central axis of rotation, which is the immobile axis of the wave switch, a sufficient space is provided between the surface of the wave switch and the tip of the operating protrusion, so that, for example, in the parts, for example, the base. Even if the wave switch includes a part with a high mounting height to the body, the tip of the actuating protrusion is excessively located on the surface of the wave switch at a position above the rotation center axis that is the immovable axis of the wave switch. There is no contact.

Therefore, with this slide type operation switch, even if there are variations between the parts, it is possible to realize a smooth slide operability of the operation protrusion regardless of such variations. Not only this, with this slide type operation switch, when the operation protrusion is slid, the operating protrusions move in an arc shape at each position of the changeover portions at both ends of the wave switch to change the wave switch. Press each part to operate.

Therefore, this slide type operation switch is capable of reliably pushing each of the switching portions of the wave switch, and therefore is excellent in the certainty of pushing operation of the wave switch. Further, in the slide type operation switch according to claim 2, the meandering surface provided on the back surface of the slide control plate is electrically connected to the mountain on both sides of the position where the operating protrusion is provided. A trough that curves in a concave shape is formed in the device body cover direction.

Thus, when the valley of the meandering surface provided on the back surface of the slide control plate is located at an appropriate position of the main body cover body (that is, the support portion supporting the slide control plate), the slide control plate moves toward the base body. Moving. As a result, the tip of the actuating protrusion approaches the surface of the wave switch in the direction of the base body, that is, at the upper position of both ends of the wave switch, and secures each of the switching parts at both ends of the wave operation part of the wave switch. Press to operate.

Therefore, this slide type operation switch is
It also excels in the certainty of pushing the wave switch. Not only this, in this slide type operation switch, the means for preventing the tip of the actuating projection from excessively contacting the wave switch is not elastic deformation of the member, but the back surface of the slide control plate is a meandering surface. Because it is achieved by the shape,
By providing the slide control plate with an elastically deformable member, the elastically deformable member, such as a conventional slide type operation switch, in which the tip of the operating protrusion is excessively contacted with the wave switch, causes mechanical fatigue. Therefore, there is no problem that the slide control plate can be removed from the back side. In addition, the tip of the operating protrusion performs a reliable operation on the back surface of the slide control plate in accordance with the meandering surface, so that it is more reliable in pushing the wave switch than a slide type operation switch using an elastically deformable member. ing.

In the slide type operation switch according to the third aspect, since the slide control plate is supported by the one support shaft by the projection, the slide control plate uses the projection as a fulcrum and the back surface of the slide control plate. According to the meandering surface provided on the side, the slide movement can be performed smoothly while inclining. Further, since the slide control plate and the pair of support pieces are achieved by the contact between the protrusion and the slide control plate, the contact area between the protrusion and the slide control plate is small. As a result, sliding friction can be reduced, so that a smooth slide operability of the operation protrusion can be realized with a small force.

In the slide type operation switch according to the fourth aspect, in order to prevent the slide movement of the slide control plate from rattling, the surface of the slide control plate is concavely curved in the wave switch direction. The surface is provided. As a result, with this slide type operation switch, when the slide control plate slides, the slide control plate always slides while maintaining proper contact with the surface of the main body cover body, so that there is no rattling. , Slide smoothly.

In the slide type operation switch according to the fifth aspect of the invention, since the adjustment protrusions are provided at both ends on the surface of the slide control plate to give a click feeling when the operation protrusion is slid. When the protrusion is located at the switching portion of the wave switch on each of the middle and both ends of the slide type operation switch, the operator of the slide type operation switch can be provided with an appropriate click feeling. In this way, with this slide type operation switch, by giving the operator a click feeling when operating the slide type operation switch, the user can feel secure that the wave switch is pushed (on / off operation). Can be given.

In the slide type operation switch according to the sixth aspect, since the slide control plate is supported by the two support shafts, when the slide control plate is slid, the operating protrusion of the slide control plate is moved. It can be accurately moved in an arc. This makes it possible to achieve both a smooth slide operation of the operation protrusion and a reliable push operation of the waveform operation section of the wave switch.

In the slide type operation switch according to the seventh aspect, when the slide control plate is corrugated and the slide control plate is slid, the corrugated slide control plate moves on the two spindles. Therefore, the operating projection of the slide control plate can be accurately moved in an arc shape with good reproducibility. This makes it possible to achieve both a smooth slide operation of the operation protrusion and a reliable push operation of the waveform operation section of the wave switch.

In the sliding operation switch according to the eighth aspect, since the slide control plate is slidably engaged directly with the frame body of the wave switch instead of with the body cover body, the slide operation plate is slid in advance. If the length of the operating projection provided on the control plate is optimized for pushing the waveform operating portion of the wave switch, the pushing operation of the wave switch can always be performed with the optimum operation.

In the slide type operation switch according to the ninth aspect, the pair of actuating projections is provided so as to avoid the position on the rotation center axis which is the immovable axis of the wave switch. Therefore, in this slide type operation switch, the operating projection of the slide control plate excessively abuts against the wave switch at a position on the rotation center axis which is the immovable axis of the wave switch like the conventional slide operation switch. Since it does not cause such a problem, by smooth sliding operation of the operation protrusion,
You can press the wave switch.

In order to solve such a problem, in the slide type operation switch according to the tenth aspect of the present invention, the tips of the pair of actuating protrusions are respectively arranged so as to be aligned in the rotation center axis direction of the wave switch. The flanks are provided so that they taper toward the tip of the. When the flanks provided on each of the pair of actuating projections contact the side surface of the corrugated surface of the wave switch, each of the pair of actuating projections
Due to this flank, upward (that is, toward the body cover)
To move the slide control plate of the slide type operation switch,
The lateral force that acts on each of the pair of actuating protrusions is converted into a force that pushes and operates each switching unit at both ends of the waveform operating unit of the wave switch.

That is, in this slide type operation switch,
At the tip of each of the pair of actuating protrusions, a flank that is inclined so as to taper toward each tip is provided so as to be aligned with the rotation center axis direction of the wave switch. Push operation can be done smoothly.
Not only that, by sliding the slide control plate of the slide-type operation switch, the lateral force acting on each of the pair of actuating protrusions causes the slide control plate to move by the flanks provided on each of the pair of actuating protrusions. Since the force in the upward direction (that is, the direction of the main body cover) and the force for pushing and operating the switching portions at both ends of the waveform operating portion of the wave switch are converted,
When the slide control plate is slid, the lateral force acting on each of the pair of actuating protrusions does not apply an unreasonable force to the pair of actuating protrusions or the wave switch, so that there is no problem of breaking them.

In the slide type operation switch according to the eleventh aspect, since the operation projection provided on the surface of the slide control plate is covered with the decorative cover, the appearance of the electric device is excellent in appearance. In the electric device according to claim 12, since the slide type operation switch according to any one of claims 1 to 11 is used as the slide type operation switch, an electric device capable of smoothly and reliably pushing the wave switch. The product can be supplied to the market.

According to the housing information of claim 13, as means for performing a pushing operation (on / off operation) of the wave switch,
Since the slide type operation switch according to any one of claims 1 to 11 is used, the wave switch can be easily and reliably pushed (on / off operation).
