Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to turn on and off a switch without passing an input pen from one hand to the other by making movable a slide pen switch and a push-button switch provided on a circuit board in a wireless signal input pen main body. SOLUTION: On the board 5, a circuit pattern including a signal generating circuit is printed and supplied with electric power from a power source battery 13; and a striker part 11 moves with a side switch button 3 slid laterally and the slide switch 10 turns ON, thereby turning on the driving power source for the input pen 1 with the side switch. When the side switch button 3 is pressed down in this state, a plunger 14 provided at the upper end part of the push- button switch 9 comes into contact with the lower end part 15 of the push-button switch 9 to push down the plunger 14, and specific operation of the substrate 9 is started through the push-button switch 9. This push-button switch 9 operates to change an operation mode, etc.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an input pen used for information input of a pen-touch type information input device, and more particularly to a wireless information input pen with a side switch having a side switch button on the outer circumference.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a signal input pen of an information input device is shown in FIG.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-551
In No. 16, the switch board 14 is fixed with the switch 15 for turning on and off the power source of the main body of the signal input pen 1. The switch 15 turns on when the switch button 16 is pressed once, and turns off when the switch button 16 is pressed again. The power of the signal input pen is turned on and off by using the switch 15 described above.
The power switch of the signal input pen is provided at the rear end portion of the signal input pen, and the battery storage portion is provided inside the power switch of the signal input pen to store the power supply battery.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional structure, the wiring of the power switch or the assembling work of the input pen itself is complicated, and the side switch is provided on the external pen of the conventional structure, and the side switch is clicked. , The power switch at the rear end of the pen is turned on for signal input or other operation. At this time, move the user's own hand,
Or it has to be carried around, so the operability is very poor. Also, if two switches are provided on the side switch and the rear end of the signal input pen, the user may make an incorrect operation. There was a problem.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the conventional problems, and in a wireless signal input pen used for information input of a pen-touch type information input device, the wireless signal input pen has an outer cylinder. The punching portion provided and a side switch button which can be slid in the longitudinal direction and vertically moved in the punching portion are provided, and the slide switch and push button switch provided on the circuit board inside the wireless signal input pen body can be moved. We propose an input pen with a side switch.

[0005]

In the present invention, a side switch is provided on the outer cylinder portion of the signal input pen, and the side switch button is slid to slide the sliding switch provided on the circuit board inside the signal input pen in the longitudinal direction of the input pen body. Then, the power switch is turned on, and the side switch button is pressed as it is, so that the push button switch provided on the board is turned on to start a predetermined operation of the circuit provided on the circuit board, and the operability is also improved. It is often possible to arrange two switches having different uses on the substrate at the same time, and to operate the two switches with a slide switch provided on the outer cylinder of the input pen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a wireless signal input pen with a side switch according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference 1
Is an input pen with a side switch, and a side switch button cover-4 is locked in an outer peripheral hole 2a formed in a cylindrical outer cylinder 2, and the side switch button cover-4 is located outside the outer cylinder 2. The claw 4a is fixed to the lower end of the side switch button cover 4 in a state of being hooked on the edge of the opening 5a of the substrate 5.

The substrate 5 has springs 8 and 8 arranged at both ends thereof.
The springs 8 and 8 are biased by a and tightened or loosened a screw (not shown) provided on the tip metal 7.
By expanding and contracting a and tightening the tip metal 7, the wobbled substrate 5, which is not fixed, is moved and fixed in the horizontal and vertical directions. The side switch button 3 is arranged in the hole 4b of the side switch button cover 4 so as to be movable in the direction of the horizontal arrow 4c. A push button switch 9 and a slide switch 10 are provided on the substrate 5 below the side switch button 3, and a striker portion 11 is provided above the slide switch 10, and a lower end portion of the side switch button 3 is provided. A cutout portion 12 is formed so that the striker portion 11 fits.

Next, the actual operation will be described. First, the operator holds the input pen with side switch 1 and pushes the side switch button 3 provided on the outer cylinder 2 of the input pen with side switch 1 so as to project in the direction of the horizontal arrow 4C (in the horizontal direction). When it is moved to (slide), since the striker portion 11 of the slide switch 10 is fitted in the notch portion 12 provided at the lower end portion of the side switch button 3, the side switch button 3 is moved at the same time as the striker portion. The part 11 is moved laterally. A circuit pattern (not shown) including a signal generating circuit is printed on the substrate 5, and power is supplied from the power battery 13, and as described above, the side switch button 3 is slid laterally to strike the striker. The part 11 moves, the slide switch 10 is turned on, and the driving power of the input pen 1 with a side switch is turned on.

If the side switch button 3 is pushed downward while the power of the side switch type input pen is turned on,
Plunger 14 provided at the upper end of push button switch 9
Comes into contact with the lower end portion 15 of the side switch button 3, the plunger 14 is pushed downward, the push button switch 9 is turned on, and a predetermined operation of the substrate 5 is started via the push button switch 9. The push button switch 9 operates to change the working mode or the like.

[0010]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, it is provided on the substrate inside the input pen in conjunction with the side switch button provided on the outer cylinder of the input pen sliding laterally. The slide switch can be slid laterally (switch ON), and by pushing the side switch button downward, the push button switch provided on the substrate can be turned ON and one side switch button By sliding or pushing, two switches with different functions can be turned on and off, and the user can turn the switch on and off without changing the input pen. The sex is very good.
