ている。(Embodiment) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 in FIG. 1 is a switch body,
Although not shown in detail, it includes well-known movable contacts, fixed contacts, and the like. On the other hand, 2 is a push-pull operation type, especially a push-button type knob, and in detail, the upper knob base 3 is made of a transparent material such as transparent plastic, and the lower knob base is also made of a transparent material and is connected to this knob. 4 and a knob cover 5 made of a light-shielding material that covers the outer peripheral surface of the exposed upper part of the upper knob base 3. The lower knob base 4 is inserted into the switch body 1, and then The switch body 1 is operated by a knob 2. Further, reference numeral 6 denotes a light source, such as a lamp, disposed inside the switch body 1 at the tip of the knob 2. In particular, in the case of this embodiment, this lamp 6 is designed to be turned on at night together with the lights of a car. The light emitted when the light is turned on is indicated by an arrow in the figure. 7 is the knob 2.
In particular, the first light reflecting surface is formed as a conical inclined surface in the lower knob base 4, whereas 8 is appropriately fixed and arranged on the outside of the first light reflecting surface 7 part. The light transmitting body 8 is made of transparent colored resin, and the lower part thereof is positioned below the first light reflecting surface 7 by the operating stroke of the knob 2. A second light-reflecting surface 9 is formed parallel to the light-reflecting surface 7 , and a second light-reflecting surface 9 is formed in the upper part located above the first light-reflecting surface 7 in the opposite direction to the first light-reflecting surface 7 . A third light reflecting surface 10 is formed. Further, at the lower part of the knob base 3 of the knob 2, a fourth light beam is positioned above the third light reflection surface 10 by the operating stroke of the knob 2 and is parallel to the third light reflection surface 10. A reflective surface 11 is formed.

夜間照明とは区別をつけてスイツチの作動表示を
行ない得る。 Now, in the case of the above-mentioned structure, first of all, the lamp 6 as a light source is turned on at night together with the lights of a car, for example, as described above, so that the lamp 6 is turned on as shown by the arrow in the figure. The light emitted as shown in is the lower knob base 4 of knob 2.
A part of the light passes through the inside, hits the first light reflecting surface 7, is reflected outward, passes between the second and third light reflecting surfaces 9 and 10 of the transparent body 8, and further outwards. In addition to being dissipated, the remaining light passes through the knob top base 3 and reaches the upper end surface of the knob 2, in other words, the entire upper end surface of the knob 2 except for the end of the knob cover 5, illuminating this area.
Therefore, this allows the switch to be illuminated at night.On the other hand, when the knob 2 is pressed downward from its upper end surface from this state, the switch body 1
At the same time, as shown in FIG. Since the light reflecting surface 11 of the knob 2 and the fourth light reflecting surface 11 of the knob 2 coincide with each other, the light initially reflected on the first light reflecting surface 7 is then reflected on the second light reflecting surface 9 as described above. It is reflected and changes its direction in the direction of the upper end surface (upward) which is the direction of the pressing operation surface of the knob 2, and then it is reflected by the third light reflecting surface 10 and changes its direction into the knob 2. This light is reflected by the fourth light reflecting surface 11 and changes its direction upward again, so that this light, together with other light that has passed straight through the knob 2, covers the upper end surface of the knob 2 excluding the end of the knob cover 5 ( It reaches the press operation surface part) and changes to illuminate this area. Here, the light-transmitting body 8 is made of a transparent cover resin in this embodiment, and therefore, the light transmitted through the light-transmitting body 8 as described above is also colored and reaches the upper end surface portion of the knob 2. Therefore, on the upper end surface of the knob 2, colored light appears due to a mixture of the light transmitted through the transparent body 8 and the light transmitted straight through the knob 2, as described above. The operation of the switch can be displayed to distinguish it from the night illumination.

い。 In contrast to the above, FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in particular, this one has a knob 2.
a fourth light reflecting surface 1 in place of the knob top base 3;
1 is used, and a light-transmitting body 13 having only a second light-reflecting surface 9 is attached to the outer surface of the knob cover 5 on the outer periphery of the upper part of the knob base 12 instead of the light-transmitting body 8 described above. A light-shielding cover 14 is attached to the outer peripheral surface, and between the light-transmitting body 13 and the lower knob base 4, the first light-reflecting surface 7 of the knob lower base 4 and the light-transmitting body 13 are provided. A light shielding body 16 having a hole 15 that blocks the second light reflecting surface 9 and makes them face each other only when the knob 2 is pressed (see the two-dot chain line in the figure) is appropriately fixed and arranged. Therefore, in this case, normally a part of the light emitted by the lamp 6 is reflected by the first light reflecting surface 7 and goes outward, but it is blocked by the part other than the hole 15 of the light shield 16 and is not transmitted through the light. It cannot reach the light body 13, and therefore, the remaining light passes through the knob top base 12 and reaches the upper end surface of the knob top base 12, illuminating this area, and from this state, the knob 2 is pressed and operated. Sometimes, the second light-reflecting surface 9 of the light-transmitting body 13 that is pressed down together with the knob 2 and the first light-reflecting surface 7 of the lower knob base 4 face the hole 15 of the light-shielding body 16. Hole 1
5, some of the light reflected on the first light reflecting surface 7 as described above is then reflected on the second light reflecting surface 9, changes its direction upward, and is transmitted as it is. The light transmitting body 1 is transmitted through the light body 13.
3 and illuminates this area. Therefore, in this folding, the upper end surface of the knob upper base 12 and the transparent body 1 are
The upper end surface of the knob upper base 12 is illuminated together with the upper end surface of the knob upper base 12, thereby providing an operation display different from the night illumination that illuminates only the upper end surface of the knob upper base 12 described above. In this case, the light shielding body 16 is abolished, and instead, a light transmitting body 13 formed to the length shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure is used as the knob 2.
It may also be carried out by separating it from the body and fixing it as appropriate.

個数を最小限に留めることができる。 Furthermore, FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, which uses not only the lamp 6 but also the light emitted by the lamp 6 as a light source in a case where a plurality of switch devices, for example, three sets, are provided. Spectroscopic body 1 made of a transparent material distributed to each of the above-mentioned switch devices to emit light.
In this case, the number of lamps 6 used can be kept to a minimum compared to the number of switch devices.

のである。 In summary, the present invention includes a switch body, a push/pull operation type translucent knob for operating the switch body, a light source disposed in front of the knob and emitting light toward the knob, and a first light reflecting surface configured to reflect a portion of the light emitted by the light source toward the outside of the knob;
A second light reflecting surface is disposed on the outside of the first light reflecting surface and further reflects the light reflected by the first light reflecting surface toward the pressing operation surface of the knob when the knob is pressed. This device is equipped with a light-transmitting body that has a single light source, but it can skillfully display two different types of illumination, such as the illumination display at night and the operation display of the switch itself. Moreover, it has an excellent practical effect in that it can be done with a simple configuration.
