これらの図において、1はハウジング、2は上カバー、3は下カバー、4はネジリコイルバネ、5は底板、6はスイッチ、7はパネルである。ハウジング1は略筒状で、内側面の長辺側には対向した2対のL字状のガイド溝1aが形成され、短辺側の一方には鍔部1bが形成される。上カバー2には、側面にガイド溝1aと係合するガイド突起2aが形成され、底面には下カバー3と嵌合する嵌合爪2bおよびネジリコイルバネ4の脚部4bと係合する係合凹部2cが形成され、上面は短辺の一方から他方に向って傾斜が形成される。下カバー3には、側面にガイド溝1aと係合するガイド突起3aが形成され、上面にはネジリコイルバネ4のコイル部4aと係合する係合突起3bが形成されるとともに上カバー2と嵌合する嵌合孔3cが形成され、下面には短辺側の一方に垂下部3dが形成され、垂下部3dの略中央部には切欠部3eが形成される。底板5には、スイッチ6を挿入する挿入孔5aが形成され、スイッチ6を固定する固定孔5bが挿入孔5aと連続して形成され、上面には下カバー3の切欠部3eと係合して上下動を案内するガイド凸部5cが形成され、長側面にはハウジング1に形成された嵌合凹部1cと嵌合する嵌合凸部5dが形成される。   In these drawings, 1 is a housing, 2 is an upper cover, 3 is a lower cover, 4 is a torsion coil spring, 5 is a bottom plate, 6 is a switch, and 7 is a panel. The housing 1 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and two pairs of L-shaped guide grooves 1a opposed to each other are formed on the long side of the inner surface, and a flange 1b is formed on one of the short sides. The upper cover 2 has guide protrusions 2a that engage with the guide grooves 1a on the side surface, and an engagement that engages with the fitting claws 2b that engage with the lower cover 3 and the leg portions 4b of the torsion coil spring 4 on the bottom surface. A recess 2c is formed, and the upper surface is inclined from one of the short sides to the other. The lower cover 3 is formed with a guide projection 3 a that engages with the guide groove 1 a on the side surface, and an engagement projection 3 b that engages with the coil portion 4 a of the torsion coil spring 4 on the upper surface and is fitted with the upper cover 2. A mating hole 3c is formed, a drooping portion 3d is formed on one of the short sides on the lower surface, and a notch 3e is formed in a substantially central portion of the drooping portion 3d. An insertion hole 5a for inserting the switch 6 is formed in the bottom plate 5, a fixing hole 5b for fixing the switch 6 is formed continuously with the insertion hole 5a, and the upper surface engages with the notch 3e of the lower cover 3. A guide convex portion 5c that guides the vertical movement is formed, and a fitting convex portion 5d that fits with the fitting concave portion 1c formed in the housing 1 is formed on the long side surface.

下カバー3の上面にネジリコイルバネ4を配設し、上カバー2下面と下カバー3上面が対向するように嵌合爪2bを嵌合孔3cに嵌合する。このとき、ネジリコイルバネ4のコイル部4aは係合突起3bと係合するとともに脚部4bは係合凹部2cと係合して、上カバー2と下カバー3を左右に分かれる方向に付勢する。嵌合した上カバー2および下カバー3をハウジング1の下方から挿入し、ガイド突起2aおよび3aがガイド溝1aに沿うように移動させ、上カバー2が鍔部1bの上側に配置される。そして、底板5をハウジング1の下方から嵌合し、スイッチカバーが完成される。   A torsion coil spring 4 is disposed on the upper surface of the lower cover 3, and the fitting claw 2b is fitted into the fitting hole 3c so that the lower surface of the upper cover 2 and the upper surface of the lower cover 3 face each other. At this time, the coil portion 4a of the torsion coil spring 4 engages with the engaging protrusion 3b and the leg portion 4b engages with the engaging recess 2c, thereby urging the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 in the left and right directions. . The fitted upper cover 2 and lower cover 3 are inserted from below the housing 1, and the guide protrusions 2a and 3a are moved along the guide groove 1a, so that the upper cover 2 is disposed above the flange portion 1b. Then, the bottom plate 5 is fitted from below the housing 1 to complete the switch cover.

以上のように構成された本発明のスイッチカバーは、スイッチ6を挿入孔5aに挿入後、固定孔5bに移動し、パネル7の取付孔(図示せず)にスイッチ6を挿入後、ナット6cで締め付け、フランジ部6bとナット6cによって底板5とパネル7を狭持することでパネル7への取付けが完了する。取付けられたスイッチカバーは、通常状態では上カバー2の下面が鍔部1bに当接するとともにガイド溝1aと2aの係合により上カバー2の下方への移動が抑止されるため押圧操作を行うことができず、上カバー2をスライドさせて、ロックを解除することで押圧操作が可能となる。押圧操作を行うと、上カバー2および下カバー3が下降し、下カバー3の下面でスイッチ6の操作部6aを押圧してスイッチ6を操作する。操作後は操作部6aの復帰にともなって上カバー2および下カバー3が押し上げられ、ネジリコイルバネ4の復帰力によって上カバー2が鍔部1bの上側に配置される。   In the switch cover of the present invention configured as described above, the switch 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 5a, then moved to the fixing hole 5b, the switch 6 is inserted into the mounting hole (not shown) of the panel 7, and the nut 6c. Then, the bottom plate 5 and the panel 7 are clamped by the flange portion 6b and the nut 6c, and the attachment to the panel 7 is completed. In the normal state, the attached switch cover is pressed because the lower surface of the upper cover 2 is in contact with the flange 1b and the downward movement of the upper cover 2 is suppressed by the engagement of the guide grooves 1a and 2a. The upper cover 2 is slid to release the lock, and the pressing operation can be performed. When the pressing operation is performed, the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 are lowered, and the switch 6 is operated by pressing the operation portion 6 a of the switch 6 with the lower surface of the lower cover 3. After the operation, the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 are pushed up with the return of the operation portion 6a, and the upper cover 2 is disposed above the flange portion 1b by the return force of the torsion coil spring 4.

このように、本実施例に示すスイッチカバーは、ネジリコイルバネ4を配設した下カバー3と上カバー2を摺動自在に嵌合し、嵌合した上カバー2および下カバー3をハウジング1内に配設し、ハウジング1の内側面に形成されたL字状のガイド溝1aと上カバー2および下カバー3に形成されたガイド突起2aおよび3aの係合により、通常状態ではスイッチの操作が不能であって、上カバー2をスライドさせてから押圧する構造としたため、操作性を損なうことなく誤動作が防止できるという特徴を有している。   As described above, the switch cover shown in this embodiment is configured such that the lower cover 3 provided with the torsion coil spring 4 and the upper cover 2 are slidably fitted, and the fitted upper cover 2 and lower cover 3 are placed in the housing 1. In the normal state, the switch can be operated by engaging the L-shaped guide groove 1a formed on the inner surface of the housing 1 with the guide protrusions 2a and 3a formed on the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3. Since it is impossible and the structure is such that the upper cover 2 is pressed after being slid, it has a feature that malfunction can be prevented without impairing operability.

本実施例では、ハウジングを楕円形としたが、四角形やその他の形状としてもよく、上カバーの上面に表示などを設けてもよく、種々の方法が考えられる。   In this embodiment, the housing is elliptical, but it may be rectangular or other shapes, and a display or the like may be provided on the upper surface of the upper cover. Various methods are conceivable.

なお、本発明は上記の実施例に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨に基づき種々の変形が可能であり、これらを本発明の範囲から排除するものではない。   In addition, this invention is not limited to said Example, A various deformation | transformation is possible based on the meaning of this invention, and these are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.

本発明のスイッチカバーは、操作性を損なうことなく誤動作防止機能を備えたスイッチカバーとして利用可能である。   The switch cover of the present invention can be used as a switch cover having a malfunction prevention function without impairing operability.
