Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To turn on a switch by surely pushing a leaf spring with a spacer even if a push button is inclined by positioning the part where the spacer pushes the spring between the fixing part of the spring and the part at which an actuator of the switch is pushed. SOLUTION: A switch 5 and one side in the long direction of a leaf spring 4 are fixed to a fixing plate 10 with a rivet 12, and the fixing plate 10 is fixed to a panel 1. When a push button 2 is pushed, a spacer 11 pushes the spring 4, the variable side of the spring 4 pushes an actuator 6 of the switch 5, and the switch 5 is turned on. Even when the end of the push button 2 is pushed, the spacer 11 having the larger width than that of the spring 4 surely pushes the plate spring 4, the twist of the spring 4 is suppressed by the step difference of the spring 4, and the switch 5 is surely operated. Forming the step difference in the moving part of the spring 4 is preferable.

However, in such a configuration, first, in the conventional example shown in FIGS.
The push button 2 is inserted into the panel 1 from the back side of the panel 1, and it is necessary to provide a gap between the push button 2 and the panel 1 in order to improve sliding. When pressed, the push button 2 is tilted and the axis 3 is a leaf spring 4
At an angle, the torsion occurs in the leaf spring 4 and the switch 5
May not be turned on. Further, in order to improve the operation failure due to the torsion of the leaf spring 4, a moving distance T more than necessary is provided, so that the moving distance T of the leaf spring 4 is increased and a load is applied to the switch 5.

If the gap is made small to suppress the inclination, when the end of the push button 2 is pushed, the push button 2 hits the panel 1 and can be pushed only halfway. There was a problem that can not be. Further, in the case of the flat plate-shaped leaf spring 4, the operating force on the switch 5 when twisted is reduced. Further, in the case of a flat plate shape, the arrangement position of the switch 5 is determined by the stroke of the push button 2 and the fixed position of the leaf spring 4, so that there is a problem that the degree of freedom is small.
