[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above-mentioned conventional slide switch is made of a spring material, and a movable contact formed at a tip portion of the slide switch can be vertically rotated with a fixed portion of the one end as a fulcrum. Therefore, when the operator performs the switching operation by gripping the grip portion of the slide switch and sliding the slide switch, the sliding piece made of the spring material exceeds the range required for the switching operation. Rotation may be performed. Therefore, particularly when the rotating operation is performed largely upward, the smoothness of switching may be lacking, and further, the elastic restoring force of the sliding piece is attenuated, so that Life may be shortened.

Therefore, there arises a technical problem to be solved in order to prevent the elastic restoring force of the sliding piece of the slide switch from being attenuated as much as possible, and the present invention solves the problem. The purpose is to

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been proposed in order to achieve the above object, and is a slide switch provided in a controller or the like of a computer game machine, wherein one end of a sliding piece is provided on the back surface of the slider body of the slide switch. The slide piece is fixed to the slide piece, and the tip of the slide piece is used as a movable contact. The slide switch is provided obliquely downward. The present invention provides a slide switch characterized by being formed so as to come into contact with each other.

[0007]

[Action]

 The sliding piece provided on the back surface of the slider of the slide switch of the present invention is configured so that it can be abutted by the stopper provided on the back surface of the slider, so that the sliding switch can be operated during the switching operation of the slide switch. At this time, even if a pressing force more than necessary is applied to the switching operation, the rotation range of the sliding piece is restricted by the stopper.

Therefore, by correctly determining the height of the stopper, the rotation range of the sliding piece rotates within the rotation range necessary for the switching operation to perform the switching operation.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 is a plan view of a slide switch 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. Since this figure is an improvement of the conventional slide switch 1 shown in FIG. 6, the same reference numerals are used for the target parts. In FIG. 1, the slide switch 1 has a grip body 3 protruding from the upper surface of a slider body 2, one end fixed to the back surface of the slider body 2, and the other side slanted downward. A sliding piece 4 made of a spring material that is obliquely provided in the direction is arranged.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the sliding piece 4 is curved downward to form a movable contact 4a. The movable contact 4a slides on a fixed contact (not shown) on the circuit board to perform a switching operation. Thus, the sliding piece 4 is configured to be rotatable up and down with the fixed portion of the one end as a rotation fulcrum, but the vertical rotation range of the sliding piece 4 is restricted. Therefore, a stopper 5 is provided on the back surface of the slider body 2 so as to project. Therefore, when the sliding piece 4 is rotated up and down during the switching operation of the sliding piece 4, the tip portion of the stopper 5 is located at a predetermined position in the upward rotation range of the sliding piece 4. Contacts the upper surface of the sliding piece 4. Therefore, the excessive rotation of the sliding piece 4 is restricted. Thus, the height of the stopper 5 is such that when the sliding piece 4 rotates upward, the movable contact 4a at the tip of the sliding piece 4 slides on the fixed contact of the circuit board to perform switching. The height is required and sufficient for the operation. Therefore, the sliding piece 4 is prevented from turning upward by a predetermined amount by the stopper 5, so that the movable contact 4a at the tip of the sliding piece 4 always slides correctly on the fixed contact. As a result, smooth switching operation can be expected.

Furthermore, since the excessive rotation of the sliding piece 4 is restricted, the sliding piece 4 is always rotated within a certain range, so that the elastic piece is elastic. The restoring force will not be attenuated as much as possible, and smooth switching operation of the slide switch 1 can be expected over a long period of time. Reference numeral 6 in the drawing denotes an elastic body provided on the outer side surface of the slider body 2 in the sliding direction. A semicircular click projection 6a is provided at the center of the elastic body, and when the slide switch 1 slides. Then, the click projection 6a is intermittently fitted into a click hole of a click hole piece (not shown) provided on the side of the slide switch 1 to slide.

3 to 5 show another embodiment of the present invention. Since this embodiment is substantially the same as the above-mentioned embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the target portions and the description thereof will be omitted. The only difference is that a guide piece 7 is projected on one side of the slider body 2 in the sliding direction, that is, on the left side in FIGS. 3 to 5, and the guide piece 7 is attached to the slide switch of the present invention. 1 is installed in a sliding groove (not shown) provided on the back surface of the upper case (not shown) of the controller, the slide switch 1 is installed in the same position and direction so as not to make a mistake. An insertion groove (not shown) for the guide piece 7 is provided on either of the front and rear walls of the moving groove, and the guide piece 7 is inserted into the insertion groove, and further, the slide switch 1 is slidably operated for switching operation. That is what you do.

Further, FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. 3 (plan view), and FIG. 5 is a bottom view of FIG. 3, but as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. Two stoppers are installed in parallel. In the figure, the stopper 5a on the right side is provided so that it can be fitted and abutted in the recess of the movable contact 4a formed by bending the tip of the sliding piece 4, and the stopper 5b on the left side is The height of the sliding piece 4 is slightly lowered so that the sliding piece 4 can come into contact with a substantially intermediate portion of the sliding piece 4. The functions of the stoppers 5a and 5b are exactly the same as those described above, but the stoppers 5a and 5b work together to slightly improve the function as a stopper.

Further, the sliding piece 4 is divided into the movable contact 4a and its vicinity, and is formed into four movable contacts 4a, 4a, 4a, 4a in FIG. 5, and the fixed contact of the circuit board is formed. When a sliding operation is performed by sliding on a fixed contact (not shown), the switching action is improved, and the essence of the slide switch 1 is not changed.

Since the other configurations and effects are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. However, the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the invention, and It goes without saying that this invention extends to the modified version.

[0016]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION In the present invention, a stopper is provided on the back surface of the slider body, and the stopper prevents excessive upward rotation of the sliding piece, so that the elastic restoring force of the sliding piece can be attenuated. It is possible to prevent it as much as possible, maintain the long life of the slide switch, and expect smooth switching operation.
