を用いて行われる。<<Prior Art>> In an electric remote control mirror for an automobile, the mirror can be tilted in four directions (front, rear, left, and right) to adjust its posture so that the driver can obtain an optimal rear view. This adjustment is performed using a multi-directional switch located near the driver's seat.

たことを特徴とする。 The present applicant previously proposed an idea for such a multi-directional switch in U.S. Pat. No. 60-79190. The spherical part of the operating lever is provided with a plurality of radially extending spring receiving rods, and the part of the housing that receives the upper part of this spherical part is located on both sides of each spring receiving rod, so that the operating lever is in the neutral position. The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a stopper whose lower surface is located substantially in the same plane as the lower surface of each spring receiving rod when the spring receiving rod is in the position.

持される。 When the operating lever is tilted, the spring receiving rod on the tilted side presses the compression coil spring, but on the opposite side, the spring receiving rod fits between the stoppers, so the upper end of the compression coil spring presses against the stopper. It doesn't move as it hits the bottom surface. When the operating lever is loosened, the restoring force of the compression coil spring pushes the spring receiving rods that come into contact with it and attempts to return to the neutral position, causing each spring receiving rod to fit between the stoppers and their bottom surfaces to match. A neutral state is maintained in the position.

合に生じることが分かつた。<<Problems to be solved by the invention>> However, in the above-mentioned prior invention, there was a problem in that the operating lever was sometimes unstable in some directions. This is because the end surface of the compression coil spring that contacts the spring receiving rod at the bottom of the operating lever has a closed end that has been treated with a glider.
It was found that this problem occurs when one of the spring receiving rods gets stuck in the stepped part.

定することとなる。<<Operation>> Under such a configuration, the present invention provides a movable piece that is selectively connected to a fixed contact in the housing by tilting the operation lever from a neutral position, and a first movable piece and a second movable piece. The first movable piece is formed downward in a substantially U-shape, and has protruding edges on both sides of its horizontal upper surface, and has a movable contact connected to the fixed contact on its lower surface, and The second movable piece is formed in an upward substantially U-shape,
Another movable contact that contacts the fixed contact is provided on the lower surface thereof, and is arranged in a cross shape facing each other with the first movable piece on top and the second movable piece on the bottom, and the first movable piece The height from the bottom of the first movable piece to the above-mentioned protrusion is equal to the height from the bottom of the second movable piece to the top, and the height from the bottom of the first movable piece to the bottom of its horizontal part is set from the bottom of the second movable piece. The thickness is larger than the top surface of the horizontal part so that the two movable pieces do not come into contact with each other when they are moved, and the first movable piece and the second movable piece do not come into surface contact when they move. As a result, when operating the operating lever, it is possible to prevent the operator from feeling a harsh operating sensation and ensure smooth operation, which prevents malfunctions.
Also, facing the upper end of the compression spring in the housing,
and are provided at positions corresponding to both sides of each of the spring receiving rods to regulate the rotational position of the spring receiving rods, and when the operating lever is in the neutral position, the lower surface of each of the spring receiving rods is The lever is equipped with a stopper located in almost the same plane as the lower surface, and the plurality of spring receiving rods of the operation lever that receive the compression coil spring in the housing are controlled from both sides by the stopper provided in the housing, and the operation When the lever is in its neutral position, the lower surface of the stopper and the lower surface of the spring receiving rod are located on almost the same plane, so when the operating lever is tilted, only the compression coil spring portion on the tilted side is bent. , the tilting operation can be performed with a small force, and when the tilting operation force is weakened, the operating lever returns to the neutral position due to the restoring force of the deflected spring, and the spring receiving rod enters between the stoppers. , its neutral position is reliably maintained, and furthermore, as a result of the configuration in which a flat washer is interposed between the upper end of the compression coil spring and the spring receiving rod of the operating lever, the spring receiving rod of the lower part of the operating lever is Even if the end surface of the compression coil spring that comes into contact is a closed end treated with a glider, one of the spring receiving rods can be prevented from getting into the stepped portion, resulting in stable operation of the operating lever.

1 protrudes from the lower surface 102 of the stopper 101 and presses the upper end of the compression coil spring 42 via the flat washer 43, whereas the spring receiving rod 41a on the opposite side enters between the stoppers 101a on the opposite side. Therefore, the upper end of the compression coil spring 42 remains in contact with the lower surface 102a of the stopper 101a via the flat washer 43. Therefore,
The tilting operation of the operating lever 33 by the operating knob 31 is light because it is not necessary to bend the entire compression coil spring 42. Next, when the pressing force on the operating knob 31 is weakened, the deflected spring 4
Due to the restoring force of 2, the spring receiving rod 41 is pressed upward, and the operating lever 33 rotates clockwise in the figure around the center O of the spherical portion 32.
When the lower surface of the stopper 101 coincides with the lower surface 102 of the stopper 101, the pressing force of the spring 42 becomes uniform, and the operating lever 33 returns to the neutral position and is held at that position.

In addition, the position of the plurality of spring receiving rods of the operating lever that receives the compression coil springs in the housing is regulated from both sides by a stopper provided in the housing, and when the operating lever is in the neutral position, the lower surface of the stopper and the lower surface of the spring receiving rod are are located in almost the same plane, so when the control lever is tilted,
Only the compression coil spring part on the tilted side bends,
Tilting operation can be performed with small force. Further, when the tilting operation force is weakened, the operating lever returns to the neutral position due to the restoring force of the deflected spring, and the spring receiving rod enters between the stoppers, so that the neutral position is reliably maintained.
