A plurality of protruding pieces for restricting tilting by making contact with the pressure-receiving member is provided to the internal surface of a cylindrical part of a rotor that engages and integrally rotates with engaging pieces of the external periphery of the engaging body. | 07-23-2009 |
20100051439 | HANDLE FOR THE REMOTE CONTROL OF A MOVING VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY A CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS VEHICLE, AN AGRICULTURAL OR HANDLING VEHICLE - The handle for the remote control of a moving vehicle, particularly a civil engineering works vehicle, an agricultural vehicle or handling vehicle according to the invention comprises a control device of the proportional type ( | 03-04-2010 |
20100282586 | Snap-mounting type remote control switch with dual function of wired and wireless remote control - A snap-mounting type remote control switch possesses dual function of wired remote control and wireless remote control, which structure at least comprising an electric cable having three sets of leads, and a PC board having a MCU, a RF receiver and a power control circuit; wherein the MCU is for executing control of the power control circuit under wireless remote control mode according to RF control signal(s) received by the RF receiver to enable the power supplied from an electric power source to appear as an output through one or more sets of leads of the electric cable in the form of positive voltage or negative voltage; particularly the snap-mounting type remote control switch being mounted on a control panel of a vehicle is provided for a driver of the vehicle in application of wired or wireless remotely controlling a rotatable lamp fastened on the vehicle to adjust illumination angle in both vertical and horizontal direction. | 11-11-2010 |
20110240454 | JOYSTICK DEVICE - Disclosed herein is a joystick device, including: a control shaft having one end to which a control knob is attached and the other end to which a turning portion of a turning device is connected; a holder supporting the control shaft shiftably in an axial direction of the control shaft; a case body supporting the holder turnably around a turning shaft portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the control shaft; an elastic member biasing the control shaft in the axial direction; and an axial force adjusting portion capable of adjusting a pressing force by varying a biasing force of the elastic member, the pressing force being adapted to shift the control shaft in the axial direction. | 10-06-2011 |
20120125755 | Operating Device of Switch - An operating device includes click feeling generation members provided on a base plate, a pusher that elastically deforms the click feeling generation members, a pressure receiving surface provided on the pusher, a shaft that is operable to tilt to directions with respect to a standing state, and an operating part provided on the shaft and engaged with the deepest part of the pressure receiving surface. The operating part is disengaged from the deepest part of the pressure receiving surface when the shaft is operated to tilt to any of the directions. When the operating part is disengaged from the deepest part of the pressure receiving surface, the operating part of the shaft pushes the pressure receiving surface to move the pusher toward the base plate, so that all of the click feeling generation members are elastically deformed from the first states to the second states. | 05-24-2012 |
20130248343 | MULTIDIRECTIONAL OPERATING SWITCH - A multidirectional operating switch of the present invention includes a case having a substantially box shape and including a central cylindrical portion provided at substantially the center and a plurality of outer peripheral cylindrical portions provided at substantially equal angular intervals around the central cylindrical portion. The multidirectional operating switch includes an operation body held by the case so as to be pivotable in two or more directions and a wiring substrate arranged below the operation body. The multidirectional operating switch includes a switch contact provided on the wiring substrate of which electrical contact/separation is performed according to pivoting operation of the operation body and a light-emitting device mounted on the wiring substrate. A light through hole is provided on an upper surface of the central cylindrical portion and the light-emitting device is arranged below the central cylindrical portion. | 09-26-2013 |
20140083833 | MINIATURIZED JOYSTICK ASSEMBLY - A joystick assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a retaining plate that has a bore through a central axis. Four microswitches are secured to the retaining plate around the bore. The microswitches each have a switch element facing towards the central axis. A housing is secured to the retaining plate wherein the bore on the retaining plate and the bore on the housing are aligned. A joystick with a shaft is received into the bore on the housing and is configured and arranged to selectively activate the switch elements of the microswitches when deflected. | 03-27-2014 |
