Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a switch structure consisting of a slide switch and a push switch.

Conventionally, for example, in a tape recorder, when a push switch was used as a power switch and a slide switch was used as a timer playback/recording switch (a switch that starts playback or recording at a set time),
Normally, the operations of both switches are mechanically independent.
Therefore, for example, when the power switch is turned off when recording while you are away,
Recording may fail because it is not turned on, or the power switch may be turned on without realizing that the timer slide switch has been switched to recording, ruining the recording tape. There were some drawbacks, such as:

Therefore, the present invention is an attempt to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is a switch that aims to prevent the occurrence of erroneous operations by mechanically relating a push switch and a slide switch to each other. It provides machinery.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the state of the switch structure according to the present invention before assembly, and Fig. 2 shows the state of the switch structure after assembly. The plan view shown in FIG. 3A and B in FIG.

In this embodiment, a case will be explained in which switching between playback and recording is performed using a power switch and a timer in a tape recorder.

1 in the figure is a slide switch, which is used as a switch for switching between playback and recording using a timer, and is in the OFF state when knob 2 is in the common position.
Slide it to the left to switch to recording, and slide to the right to switch to playback. 3 is a slide knob that fits into the knob 2 of the slide switch 1, and a guide boss 4 is provided in the center of one side of the knob 3.
is provided protrudingly, and 5 is a knob for operating the slide knob 3.

6 is a double action type push switch, which is used as a power switch, and 7
is the shaft of the switch 6. Reference numeral 8 denotes a push knob that fits into the shaft 7 of the push switch 6. A T-shaped guide groove 11 consisting of a vertical groove 9 and a horizontal groove 10 is formed on one side of the knob 8. The guide boss 4 is designed to guide the user. The total length of the lateral groove 10 is set to be slightly longer than the slide stroke length of the slide switch 1.

Next, the assembly of the slide knob 3 and push knob 8 will be explained. First, fit the slide knob 3 into the knob 2 of the slide switch 1,
The guide boss 4 is made slidable in the same direction as the sliding direction of the slide switch 1. On the other hand, the push knob 8 is fitted into the shaft 7 of the push switch 6, and the guide groove 11 is made to face the guide boss 4.

Next, the slide switch 3 and the push knob 8 are arranged close to each other so that the guide boss 4 is guided by the guide groove 11 of the push knob 8. At this time, when the push knob 8 is not in operation, the guide boss 4 is placed in the vertical groove 9. The slide knob 3 and the push knob 8 are arranged so that the guide boss 4 is located in the lateral groove 10 when the push knob 8 is operated.

Next, regarding the effect of the above embodiment,
To explain with reference to B, when the push switch 6 is OFF, the push knob 8 protrudes upward from the panel 12, and the guide boss 4 of the slide knob 3 is located in the vertical groove 9, as shown by A in the figure. There is. At this time, knob 2 of slide switch 1 is in the common position and the timer is OFF.
Since the guide boss 4 is located in the longitudinal groove 9, the operating knob 5 cannot be switched to the playback position or the recording position.

Next, as shown in FIG. Located at the intersection with horizontal groove 10, horizontal groove 1
You can freely pass through 0. Therefore, the slide knob 3 can be switched to either the playback position or the recording position. Then, when the slide knob 3 is switched to either the playback position or the recording position,
Since the guide boss 4 is located at the end of the lateral groove 10, the push knob 8 cannot be pressed again to switch to the OFF state. Of course, if the slide knob 3 is returned to the common position, the push knob 8 can be pushed again to unlock the push switch 6 and turn it into the OFF state.

In the above embodiment, the slide switch 1 is used for switching between playback and recording using a timer in a tape recorder, and the push switch 6 is used as a power switch, but it goes without saying that they may be used for other purposes.

As described above, the present invention includes a slide switch 1 that slides left and right from a common position, a slide knob 3 that fits into a knob 2 of the switch 1 and has a guide boss 4 protruding from the side, and a push switch 6.
The push knob 8 fits into the shaft 7 of the switch 6 and has a T-shaped guide groove 11 formed on the side surface through which the guide boss 4 can pass. Since the guide boss 4 is positioned in the groove 9 and the guide boss 4 is positioned in the lateral groove 10 of the guide groove 11 when the push knob 8 is operated, the push switch 8
When the slide switch 1 is switched in a predetermined direction after being turned ON, the guide boss 4 located at the end of the lateral groove 10 prevents the push switch 8 from being accidentally turned OFF. or,
When the push switch 8 is OFF, the slide knob 3 cannot be moved by the guide boss 4 located in the vertical groove 9, so the slide switch 1 will not slide inadvertently. Furthermore, the structure is simple and the cost is low.
