20130068599 | Switch - There is provided a switch including a case, fixed electrodes provided in the case, a movable electrodes and a pressing member. The movable electrode is provided in the case, and is displaced between a first position where the fixed electrodes are electrically connected to each other and a second position where the fixed electrodes are insulated from each other. The pressing member displaces the movable electrode from the second position to the first position when a pressing force from outside is applied to the pressing member. The pressing member is elastically deformed by the pressing force so that a contact area between the pressing member and the movable electrode is increased. | 03-21-2013 |
20130087443 | SWITCH - A switch includes a case including a recess, a plurality of fixed electrodes provided in the recess, a movable electrode provided in the recess, a pressing member and a buffer member. The case is mounted on a circuit board. The movable electrode is displaced between a first position where the plurality of fixed electrodes are electrically connected each other and a second position where the plurality of fixed electrodes are not electrically connected each other. The pressing member covers at least a portion of the recess, and displaces the movable electrode from the second position to the first position by a pressing force applied from outside. The buffer member is interposed between the movable electrode and the pressing member, and is elastically deformed by the pressing force. | 04-11-2013 |
20140097073 | Switch and Manufacturing Method of Switch - A switch includes a case, fixed electrodes, a movable electrode and a pressing member. The fixed electrodes and the movable electrode are arranged inside the recess. The pressing member is arranged so as to cover at least a part of the recess, and displaces the movable electrode from the second position to the first position by a pressing force from the outside. The pressing member includes a first bent part and a second bent part, and a deforming part disposed therebetween. The deforming part is opposed to the movable electrode with a gap in a state where the movable electrode is in the second position. The deforming part is configured to be flexibly deformed toward the outside of the case in a state where the movable electrode is in the first position in which the fixed electrodes are in a conductive state. | 04-10-2014 |
