In FIG. 2 and below, three embodiments for the switch 10 are shown. The switch 10 of 1st Embodiment is shown by FIGS. The switch 10 of 1st Embodiment is provided with the switch lever 11 supported so that the slide was possible along the flat base part 5a provided in the upper corner | angular part of the grip part 5. FIG. The pedestal portion 5a is provided so as to be inclined in a direction that becomes higher toward the front side. On both the left and right sides of the pedestal portion 5a, arc-shaped wall portions 5i, 5i are provided so as to protrude upward. The walls 5i, 5i prevent other articles from coming into contact with the switch lever 11, thereby preventing inadvertent sliding operation (erroneous operation) of the switch lever 11.

As shown in the figure, the upper surface front side of the switch lever 11 is inclined in a direction of rising upward. From the middle of the upper surface of the switch lever 11 to the raised portion 11d, anti-slip protrusions 11a to 11a are provided for preventing a finger from slipping during a sliding operation.
As shown in FIG. 3, an engaging projection 11b is integrally provided in a state of projecting downward from the front end of the raised portion 11d. A support leg 11c is integrally provided at the center of the lower surface of the switch lever 11 in the front-rear direction so as to protrude downward. On the other hand, the engagement hole 5b and the support hole 5c are provided in the front part of the base part 5a. The engaging projection 11b of the switch lever 11 is inserted into the engaging hole 5b and pulled out in reverse. The support leg 11c of the switch lever 11 is inserted through the support hole 5c. The support hole 5c is a groove hole that is long in the front-rear direction and is allowed to be displaced in the front-rear direction of the support leg 11c. The support leg portion 11 c protrudes into the grip portion 5. A distal end bending portion 11c1 that is bent in an L shape is provided at the distal end portion of the support leg portion 11c. The distal bent portion 11c1 prevents the support leg portion 11c from coming off from the support hole 5c and the lever engaging portion 13a described below.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a slide button type switch body 12 is disposed inside the grip portion 5. The switch body 12 has a slide button 12a on the upper surface thereof. As shown in FIG. 5, when the slide button 12a is slid forward, the switch body 12 is turned on. When the slide button 12a is slid rearward as shown in FIG. 3, the switch body 12 is turned off. The switch body 12 is held in the grip portion 5 by engaging and holding engagement edge portions 12b and 12b provided on the front and rear sides thereof with U-shaped switch holding ribs 5f and 5f provided on the inner surface of the grip portion 5. Has been. Further, the switch body 12 is mounted in a state in which backlash (position displacement) mainly in the front-rear direction is prevented by switch holding ribs 5 h and 5 g provided on the inner surface of the grip portion 5.
The slide button 12a is covered with a switch adapter 13 having a small box shape. The slide button 12a enters the recess 13b of the switch adapter 13. For this reason, when the switch adapter 13 slides as shown in FIG. 5, the slide button 12a integrally slides to the front side and the switch body 12 is turned on. Conversely, as shown in FIG. 3, when the switch adapter 13 slides to the rear side, the slide button 12a integrally slides to the rear side and the switch body 12 is turned off.
The switch adapter 13 and the slide button 12a are urged by the compression spring 14 in the direction of moving rearward (off side). The compression spring 14 is interposed between a convex portion 5 d provided integrally inside the grip portion 5 and a convex portion 13 c provided on the front surface of the switch adapter 13.
A lever engaging portion 13 a is provided on the upper front surface of the switch adapter 13. The bent end portion 11c1 of the support leg portion 11c of the switch lever 11 is hooked on the lever engaging portion 13a.
Therefore, when the switch lever 11 is slid from the rear-side off position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to the front-side on position shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the engagement between the support leg portion 11c and the lever engaging portion 13a. The switch adapter 13 slides forward through the combined state, and the switch body 12 is turned on. When the sliding operation to the front side of the switch lever 11 is released, the switch adapter 13 is urged to the rear side (off side) by the compression spring 14, so that the switch lever 11 is also lever-engaged with the support leg 11c. After being engaged with the portion 13a, it is integrally returned to the rear side (off side), and therefore the switch body 12 is turned off.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the switch lever 11 is slid forward, the engaging projection 11b reaches above the engaging hole 5b. For this reason, when the switch lever 11 is slid forward and the front part of the switch lever 11 is pushed down with the fingertip as it is, the engagement protrusion 11b enters the engagement hole 5b as shown in FIG. As described above, the switch lever 11 is indirectly urged rearward by the compression spring 14. For this reason, when the sliding operation to the front side of the switch lever 11 is released in a state where the engaging protrusion 11b enters the engaging hole 5b, the engaging protrusion 11b is compressed against the rear surface of the engaging hole 5b. The engaged state is engaged by the urging force. When the engagement protrusion 11b is engaged with the rear portion of the engagement hole 5b by the urging force of the compression spring 14, the switch lever 11 is held on at the front side, so that the switch body 12 is locked in the on state, and the electric motor 7 is maintained. This corresponds to the lock-on state of the switch 10 (the state locked to the on position).
As shown in FIG. 5, in the lock-on state of the switch 10, the rear portion of the switch lever 11 is lifted from the pedestal portion 5a. For this reason, by pushing down the rear part of the switch lever 11 with a fingertip, the engaging projection part 11b is extracted from the engaging hole 5b, and the engagement state (lock-on state) of both is released. When the engaging protrusion 11b is extracted from the engaging hole 5b, the switch lever 11 is returned to the rear off position as it is by the indirect action of the compression spring 14, so that the switch body 12 is turned off and the electric motor 7 is stopped. To do.

According to the electric power tool 1 of the first embodiment configured as described above, when the switch lever 11 is slid to the front ON position with the fingertip, the switch body 12 is turned on and the electric motor 7 is activated. When the forward slide operation by the fingertip is released as it is, the switch lever 11 is returned to the rear off position by the indirect action of the compression spring 14, the switch body 12 is turned off, and the electric motor 7 is stopped.
After the switch lever 11 is slid to the on position on the front side to activate the electric motor 7, when the forward tilting operation is performed to push down the front portion of the switch lever 11 as it is, the engagement protrusion 11b is inserted into the engagement hole 5b. Is done. When the push-down operation by the fingertip is released in a state where the engagement protrusion 11b is inserted into the engagement hole 5b, the engagement protrusion 11b is hooked on the rear portion of the engagement hole 5b by the indirect action of the compression spring 14 and the switch. 10 is locked on.
Thus, according to the first embodiment, in order to lock on the switch 10, there are two operations, that is, an operation of sliding the switch lever 11 to the on position on the front side and a forward tilting operation of pushing down the front portion. It is necessary to move the switch lever 11 in two different directions, and in this respect, it is difficult for the switch 10 to be erroneously operated to the lock-on state.

6 and 7 show the switch 20 of the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, a toggle type switch body 21 is used in place of the slide button type switch body 12 in the first embodiment. Further, in the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the switch lever 11 is supported so as to be slidable along the horizontal pedestal portion 5a. Similar to the first embodiment, wall portions 5i and 5i for preventing erroneous operation of the switch lever 11 are provided on the left and right side portions of the pedestal portion 5a so as to protrude upward. The same members and configurations as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
The toggle-type switch main body 21 includes a toggle lever 21a that can be tilted back and forth at an upper portion thereof. The switch body 21 is fixed in a state free from rattling by switch holding ribs 5j, 5k, and 5m provided integrally on the inner surface of the grip portion 5.
The toggle lever 21 a of the switch body 21 enters the recess 22 a of the switch adapter 22. As illustrated, the recess 22a of the switch adapter 22 is formed in a pyramid shape having a triangular cross section corresponding to the tilting position of the toggle lever 21a. The switch adapter 22 is supported so as to be slidable back and forth along the upper surface of the support edge 23 provided integrally with the inner surface of the grip portion 5.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the switch adapter 22 moves to the rear side, the toggle lever 21a is tilted to the rear side, and the switch body 21 is turned off. As shown in FIG. 7, when the switch adapter 22 moves to the front side, the toggle lever 21a is tilted to the front side and the switch body 21 is turned on. Similar to the first embodiment, the compression spring 14 is interposed between the convex portion 22 b provided on the front surface of the switch adapter 22 and the convex portion 5 d provided integrally inside the grip portion 5. The compression spring 14 urges the switch adapter 22 in the direction of moving to the rear side (off side). As in the first embodiment, the tip bent portion 11c1 of the switch lever 11 is hooked on the engaging portion 22c provided on the upper front surface of the switch adapter 22.

According to the switch 20 of the second embodiment configured as described above, when the switch lever 11 is slid from the off position shown in FIG. 6 to the front on position, the engagement state between the support leg portion 11c and the engagement portion 22c is achieved. After that, the switch adapter 22 moves forward, whereby the toggle lever 21a is tilted forward, the switch body 21 is turned on, and the electric motor 7 is started.
If the on-operation of the fingertip that has turned on the switch lever 11 is released, the switch lever 11 is returned to the off position on the rear side by the indirect action of the compression spring 14, and the toggle lever 21a rotates to the rear side. The main body 21 is turned off and the electric motor 7 is stopped.
After the switch lever 11 is slid to the on position on the front side to activate the electric motor 7, when the front portion of the switch lever 11 is pushed down as it is, the engaging protrusion 11b is inserted into the engaging hole 5b. When the push-down operation by the fingertip is released in a state where the engagement protrusion 11b is inserted into the engagement hole 5b, the engagement protrusion 11b is hooked on the rear portion of the engagement hole 5b by the indirect action of the compression spring 14 and the switch. 20 enters a lock-on state.
As described above, also in the second embodiment, in order to lock on the switch 20, the operation of sliding the switch lever 11 to the on position on the front side and the operation of pushing down the front portion are different from each other. Since it is necessary to perform two operations in the direction, it is difficult to perform an erroneous operation such as erroneously performing a lock-on operation when the switch 20 is turned on, as in the first embodiment.

8 and 9 show a switch 30 according to the third embodiment. The switch 30 of the third embodiment includes a push button type switch body 31 that is further different from the first and second embodiments. The members and configurations that do not need to be changed are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. A flat and horizontal pedestal portion 5 a is provided at the upper part on the rear side of the grip portion 5. As in the first and second embodiments, wall portions 5i and 5i are provided on the left and right side portions of the pedestal portion 5a so as to protrude upward.
An engagement hole 5b is provided in the front part of the base part 5a. In the center of the pedestal portion 5a, a support hole 5c having a long slot shape is provided in the front and rear direction. A switch lever 11 is slidable in the front-rear direction along the pedestal portion 5a.
As in the first and second embodiments, anti-slip protrusions 11 a to 11 a for preventing slip are provided on the upper surface of the switch lever 11. An engaging protrusion 11b is provided on the front surface of the lower surface of the switch lever 11 so as to protrude downward. Further, a support leg portion 11c whose tip is bent in an L shape is provided at substantially the center of the lower surface of the switch lever 11. The support leg portion 11c enters the grip portion 5 through the support hole 5c of the pedestal portion 5a.
A switch body 31 is incorporated in the grip portion 5 below the pedestal portion 5a. The switch main body 31 is sandwiched between switch holding ribs 34 and 35 provided integrally inside the grip portion 5 and is assembled in a state free from rattling.
The switch body 31 includes a push button 31a at the upper part of the rear surface. The push button 31a is spring-biased to the side (off side) protruding backward by a compression spring 31b built in the switch body 31. As shown in FIG. 9, the switch body 31 is turned on by pushing the push button 31a forward against the spring bias of the compression spring 31b.

On the lower surface side of the pedestal portion 5a, an operating arm 32 whose rear portion is bent in an L shape is supported. The operating arm 32 is supported inside the grip portion 5 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction across the pair of left and right support ribs 33. As shown in the figure, the rear portion of the operating arm 32 is provided with an operating piece portion 32a that is bent in an L shape and projects downward. The operating piece 32a is in contact with the rear surface of the push button 31a. An engagement hole 32 b is provided in the front portion of the operating arm 32. The bent end portion 11c1 of the support leg portion 11c of the switch lever 11 is hooked in the engagement hole 32b.
When the switch lever 11 is slid to the front ON position, the operating arm 32 moves to the front side through the engagement state of the support leg portion 11c and the engagement hole 32b. When the actuating arm 32 moves to the front side, the push piece 31a of the switch body 31 is pushed to the on side by the actuating piece portion 32a, the switch body 31 is turned on, and thus the electric motor 7 is activated. Therefore, the operating arm 32 and the switch lever 11 are moved to the front side against the spring biasing force of the push button 31a toward the ON position by the compression spring 31b.
When the slide operation by the fingertip of the switch lever 11 slid to the on position side is released, the switch lever 11 and the operating arm 32 are moved to the rear off position by the spring biasing force of the compression spring 31b of the push button 31a as shown in FIG. Returned to The movement of the operating arm 32 to the rear side, and the turn-off position of the switch lever 11, are regulated by the operating piece 32 a coming into contact with the stopper rib 5 e provided integrally in the grip 5.

As shown in FIG. 9, after the switch lever 11 is slid forward and the switch body 31 is turned on, when the switch lever 11 is pushed down as it is, the engagement protrusion 11b is inserted into the engagement hole 5b. The Thereafter, when the push-down operation by the fingertip is released, the engagement protrusion 11b is hooked on the rear portion of the engagement hole 5b by the indirect action of the spring biasing force of the compression spring 31b of the push button 31a. When the engaging protrusion 11b is caught in the engaging hole 5b, the switch main body 32 is locked in the on state, and thus the activated state of the electric motor 7 is maintained.
When the switch lever 11 is held at the lock-on position shown in FIG. 9, the rear portion is lifted from the pedestal 5a. In order to release the lock-on state, the rear part of the switch lever 11 lifted from the pedestal 5a may be pushed down with a fingertip. When the rear portion of the switch lever 11 lifted from the pedestal portion 5a is pushed down, the hooked state of the engagement protrusion 11b with respect to the engagement hole 5b is released. When the hooked state of the engaging protrusion 11b with respect to the engaging hole 5b is released, the switch lever 11 is returned to the rear off position as it is by the indirect action of the spring biasing force of the compression spring 31b of the push button 31a.
Even with the switch 30 of the third embodiment configured as described above, in order to lock the switch body 31 to the on state, the switch lever 11 is slid forward to turn on the switch body 31, and then the front portion It is necessary to perform an operation of pulling down the engaging protrusion 11b into the engaging hole 5b by pushing down the button. For this reason, since the switch lever 11 needs to be operated in two different directions in order to perform the lock-on operation also with the switch 30 of the third embodiment, the lock-on operation is erroneously performed after the on-operation. It is difficult to operate incorrectly.

The first to third embodiments described above can be further modified. For example, the configuration in which the switch lever 11 is tilted forward to perform the lock-on operation is illustrated, but the switch lever 11 may be configured to lock-on by performing the backward tilt operation. In short, the switch lever that is one operation member is operated to be turned on / off If the configuration is such that the operation is locked by moving in a direction different from the direction, conventional inadvertent misoperation can be made difficult.
Moreover, although the electric drill for drilling was illustrated as the electric tool 1, it can be applied to switches in electric tools such as other grinding tools and cutting tools.
