ことができるトグルスイッチを提供することを目的とし
ている。The present invention relates to a switch used to switch the opening / closing operation of an automobile power window, and more particularly to a toggle switch. (Prior Art) Conventionally, as the above-mentioned switches, there are those shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, for example. In the illustrated switch 100, a support shaft 101a is inserted through an operating member 101 having a substantially T-shaped cross section in FIG. 4, and a hollow portion 101b opened at the lower end of the operating member 101.
In addition, the return spring 101c and the slider 101d are slidably accommodated. Further, since the support shaft 101a is rotatably attached to the side wall 102c of the opening 102b provided in the top wall 102a of the casing 102, the operation member 101 is in a range in which the support member 101 abuts the top wall 102a of the casing 102 about the support shaft 101a. It can be rotated with. Then, the slider 101 housed in the hollow portion 101b of the operation member 101.
In FIG. 4D, the lower end is exposed from the operation member 101, and this exposed portion is abutted against a movable contact piece 104 rotatably supported in a seesaw manner by a support member 103 fixed to a base 102d of the casing 102. I am in contact. In addition, the fixed side contacts 105, in which the movable contact pieces 104 contact and separate on both sides of the support member 103 fixed to the base 102d of the casing 102,
106 is stuck. Here, in the neutral state of the operating member 101 shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, since the slider 101d is located in the central portion of the movable contact piece 104, the supporting member 103 and one fixed side contact 105 are in a disconnected state. Moreover, the support member 103 and the other fixed side contact 106 are in a disconnected state. Then, when the right side of the operating member 101 in FIG. 4 is pushed, the operating member 101 rotates until it comes into contact with the top wall 102a of the casing 102, and the slider 101d moves against the repulsive force of the return spring 101c. While pressing the contact piece 104, it slides from the center portion to the left in FIG. As the slider 104 slides to the left, the movable contact 104
4 is inclined to the left as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 4 and is connected to one fixed side contact 105, so that the support member 103 and one fixed side contact 105 are in a conductive state. Next, when the hand is released from the operation member 101, the slider 101d returns to the center of the movable contact piece 104 by the repulsive force of the return spring 101c, so that the movable contact piece 104 is separated from the one fixed-side contact 105 and the supporting member 103 and one fixed side contact 105 are disconnected, and the operating member 101 returns to the state shown by the solid line in FIG. Now, referring to FIG. 5 in which the relationship between the rotational displacement amount X 1 of the operating member 101 and the load amount Y 1 associated with the operation of the operating member 101 is examined, the operating member 101 is the top wall 102a of the casing 102.
It can be seen that the value of the load amount Y 1 rapidly increases at the point F (full stroke position) which is in contact with. That is, at the same time when the operating member 101 comes into contact with the top wall 102a of the casing 102, the value of the load amount Y 1 thereof becomes sharply large. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-described conventional switch 100, the value of the load amount Y 1 suddenly increases at the same time when the operating member 101 comes into contact with the ceiling wall 102a of the casing 102. Therefore, when operating the operation member 101, there is a problem that a large impact is generated at the operation end, and it has been a problem to solve this problem. (Object of the Invention) Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a toggle switch that can obtain a soft operation feeling at the operation end of the operation member.

A lower casing that supports the support member and the fixed-side contact, and a ceiling wall that has a tapered opening through which the cylindrical portion of the operating member is inserted; In a toggle switch including an upper casing fitted in a casing, the operating member is formed adjacent to both sides of an opening formed in a tapered shape having a substantially triangular cross section and formed in a top wall of the upper casing. A pair of operation end forming parts Each distal end portion of the forming section,
The present invention is characterized in that a shock absorbing contact piece that is formed in a short shape and that elastically deforms by coming into contact with the top wall of the upper casing when the operation member is operated is provided. (Operation of the Invention) In the toggle switch according to the present invention, when the operating member rotates and strokes to the operating end, the operating end forming portion provided on the operating member at the operating end of the operating member is attached to the top wall of the upper casing. When approaching, the shock absorbing contact piece provided on the operation member comes into contact with the top wall of the upper casing and elastically deforms. Therefore, the load amount at the operating end of the operating member gradually rises. (Embodiment) A toggle switch according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. The toggle switch 1 shown in the figure mainly includes an operating member 2 having a cylindrical portion 2e, a slider 2h, a movable contact piece 3, a return spring 7, a support member 8, fixed side contacts 4 and 5, and a casing 6. Of the lower casing 6f and an upper casing 6c which is fitted to the lower casing 6f and serves as another portion of the casing 6. As shown in FIG. 1, the operating member 2 is made of synthetic resin having a substantially T-shaped cross section, and has an outer shape in which both sides of the base portion 2c in the central portion are inclined slightly upward. ,
The base portion 2c extends downward in the figure and has a hollow portion 2d.
The cylindrical portion 2e having the is formed. The hollow portion 2d provided in the cylindrical portion 2e is opened at the lower end edge 2f of the cylindrical portion 2e, and the slider 2h in which the tip portion 2g is formed in a substantially spherical shape is slidably accommodated in the hollow portion 2d. ing. A return spring 7 having both ends locked between a hooking portion 2i provided on the slider 2h and a hooking portion 2j provided on the base 2c.
Is provided, and the repulsive force of the return spring 7 causes the slider to move.
The tip side of 2h contacts the movable contact piece 3 and presses it. Further, in the cylindrical portion 2e, pivot shafts 2k and 2n are rotatably supported in a state of being inserted into the support holes 6a provided in the upper casing 6c (the pivot shaft 2n is shown on the front side in FIG. 1). No.) are provided at opposite positions on the outer periphery. Further, the operation member 2 has an upper casing 6c.
1. On both sides of the opening 6d formed in the ceiling wall 6b of FIG. 1 in FIG. 1, from the base 2c downward in FIG. 1, that is, the upper casing 6c.
A pair of operating end forming portions that are formed to have a tapered shape toward the ceiling wall 6b of the upper casing 6c and that are arranged symmetrically with each other and that are adjacent to the ceiling wall 6b of the upper casing 6c at the operating ends of the operating member 2. 2a and 2a are provided. Furthermore, the tip of each of the pair of operation end forming portions 2a, 2a is formed in a short shape, and when the operation member 2 is operated, the impact that elastically deforms by contacting the top wall 6b of the upper casing 6c. Absorption contact pieces 2b, 2b are provided. That is, when the operating member 2 rotates to the operating end, one of the pair of operating end forming portions 2a provided on the operating member 2 at the operating end of the operating member 2 has one of the upper casings.
When approaching the ceiling wall 6b of 6c, the impact absorbing contact piece 2b provided at the tip of the one operation end forming portion 2a collides with the ceiling wall 6b of the upper casing 6c and is elastically deformed. The elastic deformation of the piece 2b reduces the impact at that time. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper casing 6c is provided with an opening 6d formed in the top wall 6b so as to be tapered toward the upper part of the central portion, and a side wall 6e of the opening 6d.
Further, support holes 6a, 6a '(support hole 6a' on the front side in FIG. 1 is not shown) for inserting the pivot shaft 2k (2n) provided in the operation member 2 are provided. Further, a support member (support member terminal) 8 on which a movable contact piece 3 having a substantially V shape is rotatably supported in a seesaw manner is fixed to a plate-shaped lower casing 6f fitted in the upper casing 6c. At the same time, fixed side contacts 4 and 5, which come into contact with or separate from each other when the movable contact piece 3 is rotated while being supported by the support member 8, are fixed to both sides of the support member 8 in FIG. ing. Here, in the return state shown in FIG. 1, the slider 2h of the operation member 2 presses the movable contact piece 3 with the tip portion 2g of the slider 2h being located at the central portion of the movable contact piece 3. The side contact piece 3 is connected to the fixed side contact 5 on the right side in FIG. In this state, the support member 8 and the right side fixed contact 5 are in a conductive state, and the operation end forming portion provided in the operation member 2 is provided.
2a, 2a and impact absorbing contact pieces 2b, 2b are separated from the upper casing 6c. Therefore, when the right side portion of the operating member 2 in FIG. 1 is pressed from this state, the operating member 2 rotates clockwise about the pivot shafts 2k and 2n as shown in FIG. , The slider 2h resists the repulsive force of the return spring 7 and the tip 2g of the slider 2h
Slides to the left in the drawing while pressing the movable contact piece 3. Then, the operation member 2 has the operation end at the operation end.
When the operating end forming portion 2a on the right side in FIG. 2 of the pair of operating end forming portions 2a, 2a located near the top wall 6b of the upper casing 6c absorbs the impact on the right operating end forming portion 2a. Since the contact piece 2b for use contacts the top wall 6b of the upper casing 6c and is elastically deformed, the operation member 2 does not have a large impact at the operation end. As a result, the movable contact piece 3 tilts to the left side in FIG. 2 while being supported by the support member 8 and separates from the fixed side contact 5 on the right side in FIG. 2 to the fixed side contact 4 on the left side in FIG. Connected. Then, the support member 8 and the fixed contact 5 on the right side in FIG. 2 are disconnected, and the support member 8 and the fixed contact 4 on the left side in FIG. Is done. Further, in this state, when the hand is released from the operation member 2, the repulsive force of the return spring 7 causes the tip 2g of the slider 2h to move to the movable contact piece 3.
Since the movable contact piece 3 slides to the right in FIG. 2 and returns to the central portion of the movable contact piece 3 while pressing, the movable contact piece 3 is separated from the fixed contact point 4 on the left side in FIG. Connected to 5. As a result, the operating member 2 rotates back, so that the operating end forming portion 2a and the impact absorbing contact piece 2b provided on the operating member 2 are both separated from the top wall 6b of the upper casing 6c and are shown in FIG. Return to the state shown. Here, description will be given based on FIG. 3 in which the relationship between the rotational displacement amount X 2 of the operating member 2 and the load amount Y 2 associated with the operation of the operating member 2 is examined. It can be seen that the value of the load amount Y 2 gradually increases as it approaches the point F, which is the position. That is, when the switching operation is performed by the operating member 2, the load amount Y 2 does not increase sharply when the operating member 2 reaches the operating end, but rather increases considerably gradually. Although the pressing member (operation knob portion) of the operation member 2 and the operation end forming portion 2a and the cylindrical portion 2e are integrally formed in the above embodiment, the operation knob portion and the operation end forming portion are shown. The 2a and the cylindrical portion 2e may be molded separately, and these may be integrated by a screw or the like.
