Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention particularly relates to a switch device suitable for application to toys, accessories, etc. that have a structure in which light flashes.

Traditionally, accessories such as brooches,
There are devices on the market that have light-emitting diodes embedded in the surface that flicker irregularly, and their novelty has led to them selling well.

However, conventional products of this kind consist of, for example, a sound collecting microphone and a processing circuit, and the processing circuit determines the connection and disconnection of current and the interval between them based on the frequency, volume, etc. of the sound collected by the sound collecting microphone. Since the light-emitting diodes are made to blink irregularly using a circuit, they are quite expensive, and due to their configuration, a power switch is essential, and it is necessary to open and close the power switch when installing and removing them. However, I often forgot to turn the switch off after removing it, which caused the inconvenience of draining the battery overnight.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a switch device that can blink a light emitting diode etc. with a simple structure and does not cause the inconvenience of battery consumption due to the light emitting diode etc. being left on. The structure was such that a button-shaped battery such as a mercury battery was suspended from a machine frame using a suitable string, and when the battery swung near the button-shaped battery, one electrode of the battery was suspended. An electrical contact is provided to make contact with the button-shaped battery, and the object to which the current of the button-shaped battery is to be supplied is electrically connected to the electrical contact and the other electrode of the button-shaped battery. It is something.

Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 is a box-shaped machine frame with both sides open and made of a suitable conductive metal such as aluminum; 2 is a suitable type of mercury battery, etc., with a diameter sufficiently smaller than the machine frame 1, with one side 2a serving as a positive electrode and the other side Surface 2b and side 2
c is a button-shaped battery formed as a negative electrode; 3 is a conductive metal mounting member for holding the battery 2; 4 is an insulating material disposed inside the mounting member 3;
is a string made of a conductive metal chain for connecting the upper part 6 of the machine frame 1 and the mounting member 3 and suspending the battery 2 from the machine frame 1;
It is suspended by the string 5 through the cord, and is designed to swing even when a slight force is applied.
The mounting member 3 contacts only the surface 2b, that is, the negative electrode, of the battery 2, and is insulated from the surface 2a, that is, the positive electrode, by an insulator 4. The connection will be made as follows.

7 is one leg of a light emitting diode D embedded in the accessory main body A to which the switch device of the present invention is to be attached, and the tip of the leg is near the battery 2, and when the battery 2 swings back and forth and left and right, 1 to 7 constitute an example of the switch device S of the present invention, and in order to attach it to the accessory main body A and make it function as a switch device, the light emitting diode After positioning the leg 7 of D to the battery 2 where it should function as an electrical contact, attach the machine frame 1 to the accessory main body A by gluing or the like, and finally attach the other leg 8 of the light emitting diode D to the machine frame 1. An electrical connection is made by fixing the device to the device, thereby creating an accessory.

Therefore, when the accessory is worn on the chest of clothes, etc., the battery 2 swings irregularly back and forth and left and right due to the movement of the wearer, and a light emitting light that functions as an electrical contact with the surface 2a of the battery 2, that is, the positive electrode, is generated. One leg 7 of the diode D is in contact with the two light emitting diodes D.
The lights flash irregularly and in different patterns. Incidentally, the blinking pattern of the light emitting diode D can be freely adjusted by changing the position of the leg 7, that is, the position of the electrical contact.

On the other hand, when the accessory is not in use, the battery 2 can be placed on the vertical part 9 of the machine frame 1 by placing it in an appropriate place such as on a desk with the accessory main body A facing up. The surface 2a and the legs 7 of the light emitting diode D do not come into contact with each other, so that it is possible to prevent the battery from being consumed due to forgetting to turn off the power switch, unlike conventional products. Furthermore, even if the accessory main body A side is placed upward as described above, it is possible that the light emitting diode D may remain lit for some reason, so in order to completely eliminate this situation, Instead of directly connecting the leg 8 of the light emitting diode D to the machine frame 1, the leg 8 of the light emitting diode D may be connected via a switch member (not shown) that closes the circuit only when it is attached to clothes using a safety pin or clip.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the light emitting diode D
One leg 7 of the is extended near the battery 2 to serve as an electrical contact; however, a separate electrical contact of an appropriate shape may be provided and the leg may be connected to this. Needless to say, this is not limited to accessories.

Since the present invention is as described above, it is particularly suitable as a switch device applied to toys, accessories, etc. that have a structure in which light flashes.
