【Example】

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the main part of FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an essential part illustrating a state in which the one shown in FIG. 1 is installed in a vehicle. .   In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a predetermined controller for controlling various loads (not shown) of the vehicle 2. A remote control unit 3 for outputting a control signal, It is an installation part that detachably supports at a predetermined position.

[0006]   The remote control unit 1 includes two units that receive power supply while being supported by the installation unit 3. Has connection ends 1a and 1b and a transmitter 1c for transmitting an optical signal, and is operated by an operator. It has a knob 1d to be produced and a display section 1e for displaying outgoing information. The transmitter 1c is , An infrared light emitting diode, and the display unit 1e is a liquid crystal display (LCD). It consists of. The connection ends 1a and 1b are charged by the remote control unit 1. It is connected to an electric battery (not shown).

[0007]   The installation unit 3 supports the remote control unit 1 in a plurality of postures, for example, rotatably. In each position, the remote controller unit 1 is connected to the connecting end portions 1a and 1b, It has four feeding ends 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d for supplying power to the unit 1. It Further, the installation unit 3 has a receiving unit 3e for receiving the optical signal, and the optical signal It has a light emitting portion 3f that emits light by being excited by.   When the light emitting section 3f receives a light ray in the infrared region, the phosphor contained therein is excited, It emits visible light and emits light. The light emitting unit 3f is, for example, QUANTE IR sensor card (trade name) made by X PHOTONIC PRODUCTS The phosphor used is molded by containing it in a translucent plastic.

[0008]   4 is a DC power supply, 5 is an ignition switch, and 6 is a protection resistor. The positive electrode of 4 is connected to the power feeding end 3b and the protection switch 6 through the ignition switch 5 and the protection resistor 6. 3d, and the negative electrode is connected to the feeding ends 3a and 3c.
