20080217156 | SWITCH DEVICE - A switch device includes a wiring board having a cutout provided therein, a land provided on an upper surface of the wiring board around the cutout, and a switch. The switch includes a lever, a switch contact activated upon the lever being moved in a predetermined direction, and a case including a step portion protruding from a surface thereof and positioned in the cutout of the wiring board, and a terminal protruding from the case and mounted on the land of the wiring board. The switch device securely holds the switch on the wiring board with a simple structure, and allows the switch to be activated reliably. | 09-11-2008 |

20090134003 | Multidirectional operation switch apparatus - In a multidirectional operation switch apparatus, a rotary switch is switched on by rotating a dial, and push switches are switched on by sliding the dial in multidirections by means of a sliding section. The sliding section is made of a single constituting member. The sliding section is provided on an upper surface thereof with an upper rail part which slides a pad in X direction (direction of arrow “c-d”; FIG. | 05-28-2009 |
20120181159 | Push button switch - A push button switch includes a hollowed housing, an electric switching circuit coupled to the hollowed housing and a stack of non-conductive sliders disposed within a narrow recess in the housing. An array of externally accessible push rods extends vertically through the housing and is used to longitudinally displace certain sliders into selective engagement with movable contacts in the electric switching circuit. A plurality of outwardly protruding projections are formed on at least one of the front and rear surfaces of alternating sliders, each projection being generally circular in transverse in cross-section and in the range of approximately 0.001 inches to 0.004 inches in height. The entire surface contact established between adjacent sliders is achieved through the one or more projections, thereby reducing the frictional forces experienced within the stack during slider displacement. | 07-19-2012 |
20140284195 | SWITCH - A switch has a normally-closed fixed contact unit, a common contact unit, a pressing member, and a movable contact that is attached to the pressing member, and that slides on the normally-closed fixed contact unit and the common contact unit. A conductive region and an insulating region are formed on a sliding surface of the movable contact in the normally-closed fixed contact unit in order toward a pressing direction of the pressing member. A conductive region and an insulating region are formed on a sliding surface of the movable contact in the common contact unit in order toward the pressing direction. The movable contact slides from the conductive regions to the insulating regions to switch from a closed state to an opened state. | 09-25-2014 |
