以下、この考案の一実施例を図面に従って詳述する。図1及び図2は多方向ス イッチ1を示したものである。多方向スイッチ1は上ケース2と下ケース3とを 嵌合し、上ケース2の上方へ操作レバー4を突出させている。操作レバー4とし て2連2重のロータリスイッチ5を使用し、該ロータリスイッチ5の軸受部6へ 球面部7を有する樹脂製のジョイント部材8を嵌着している。前記球面部7は、 上ケース2に固着した球面軸受9に遊嵌されている。 An embodiment of this invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 and 2 are multidirectional Switch 1 is shown. The multi-directional switch 1 has an upper case 2 and a lower case 3. The operating lever 4 is fitted into the upper case 2, and the operating lever 4 is projected upward from the upper case 2. Set the operating lever to 4. using a double rotary switch 5, and connect it to the bearing part 6 of the rotary switch 5. A joint member 8 made of resin and having a spherical portion 7 is fitted. The spherical part 7 is It is loosely fitted into a spherical bearing 9 fixed to the upper case 2.
【0009】 操作レバー4の2重の軸10,11には夫々つまみ12,13を嵌着し、軸回 り方向へ回動してスイッチ操作を行うことができる。14は軸受部6を被覆する ゴム製のベローズである。ロータリスイッチ5の下部のスイッチケース15に装 着した16はスライダホルダであり、下部の摺動孔17にスライダ18を遊挿し てある。スライダ18とスイッチケース15との間にはコイルばね19を介装し 、スライダ18を下方へ付勢してガイド板20へ圧接させている。[0009] Knobs 12 and 13 are fitted onto the double shafts 10 and 11 of the operating lever 4, respectively, and the shafts are rotated. The switch can be operated by rotating in the opposite direction. 14 covers the bearing part 6 It is a rubber bellows. installed in the switch case 15 at the bottom of the rotary switch 5. The attached 16 is a slider holder, and the slider 18 is loosely inserted into the lower sliding hole 17. There is. A coil spring 19 is interposed between the slider 18 and the switch case 15. , the slider 18 is urged downward and brought into pressure contact with the guide plate 20.
【0010】 前記球面軸受9は、上半部21と下半部22の2部材で構成され、上ケース2 へねじ23,23…にて固定してある。図3及び図4に示すように、球面軸受9 の内面には縦溝24,24を対向させて設け、ジョイント部材8の球面部7の両 側面に突設した一対のピン25,25が前記縦溝24,24に係合されている。 従って、ジョイント部材8と球面軸受9とは自在継手を構成し、図1に示すロー タリスイッチ5は全方向へ揺動自在でありながら該スイッチ5の軸回りには回転 しないので、つまみ12,13のみを回動させてロータリスイッチ5を操作する ことができる。0010 The spherical bearing 9 is composed of two members, an upper half 21 and a lower half 22, and the upper case 2 It is fixed with screws 23, 23.... As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the spherical bearing 9 Vertical grooves 24, 24 are provided facing each other on the inner surface of the joint member 8, and both sides of the spherical part 7 of the joint member 8 are A pair of pins 25, 25 protruding from the side surfaces are engaged with the vertical grooves 24, 24. Therefore, the joint member 8 and the spherical bearing 9 constitute a universal joint, and the rotor shown in FIG. The tally switch 5 can swing freely in all directions, but cannot rotate around the axis of the switch 5. Since it does not work, rotate only knobs 12 and 13 to operate rotary switch 5. be able to.
【0011】 前記ガイド板20は四隅のポスト26,26…と一体成形して下ケース3上に 設置され、上面中央部に円錐形の凹部27が設けられている。このガイド板20 の上面には中央に円形の孔を開穿したスイッチ基板28を配設し、前記凹部27 が露出されている。スイッチ基板28上の4つのプッシュスイッチ29,29… は夫々ポスト26,26…の中間に配設され、押しボタン30,30…を操作レ バー4に対向させている。操作レバー4のスライダホルダ16の下端部近傍には Oリング31を装着し、このOリング31で前記押しボタン30,30…を押圧 する。[0011] The guide plate 20 is integrally molded with posts 26, 26... at the four corners and placed on the lower case 3. A conical recess 27 is provided in the center of the upper surface. This guide plate 20 A switch board 28 having a circular hole in the center is disposed on the upper surface of the switch board 28, and the recess 27 is exposed. Four push switches 29, 29... on the switch board 28 are arranged between the posts 26, 26..., respectively, and the push buttons 30, 30... are arranged between the operation levers. It faces bar 4. Near the lower end of the slider holder 16 of the operating lever 4, Attach the O-ring 31 and press the push buttons 30, 30... with this O-ring 31. do.
【0012】 図2に示すように、操作レバー4を傾動させれば、Oリング31がプッシュス イッチ29の押しボタン30を押圧して切換えを行う。このとき、操作レバー4 のスライダ18は凹部27の斜面によって押圧され、この押圧に対するコイルば ね19の反発力によって操作レバー4を凹部27の中心方向へ付勢する。従って 、操作レバー4の傾動操作を解除すると、操作レバー4は中央方向へ自動的に回 動し、スライダ18が凹部27の頂点へ達して停止する。凹部27の頂点にはス ライダ18の先端部と係合する係合穴32を設けてある。中立位置で停止してい る操作レバー4を傾動させれば、スライダ18の先端部が係合穴32から斜面へ 脱出する際にクリックを生じ、操作者に確実なる操作感を伝達する。0012 As shown in FIG. 2, when the operating lever 4 is tilted, the O-ring 31 is Switching is performed by pressing the push button 30 of the switch 29. At this time, the operating lever 4 The slider 18 is pressed by the slope of the recess 27, and the coil spring responds to this pressing force. The repulsive force of the spring 19 urges the operating lever 4 toward the center of the recess 27. Therefore , when the tilting operation of the operating lever 4 is released, the operating lever 4 automatically rotates toward the center. The slider 18 reaches the top of the recess 27 and stops. There is a strip at the top of the recess 27. An engagement hole 32 that engages with the tip of the rider 18 is provided. Stopped at neutral position When the operating lever 4 is tilted, the tip of the slider 18 moves from the engagement hole 32 to the slope. A click is generated when escaping, conveying a reliable operating feeling to the operator.
【0013】 尚、この考案は、上記一実施例に限定するものではなく、球面部7のピン25 並びに球面軸受9の縦溝24は片側のみの1本とすることもできる。そして、こ の考案がそれらの改変されたものに及ぶことは当然である。[0013] Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the pin 25 of the spherical portion 7 Furthermore, the spherical bearing 9 may have only one longitudinal groove 24 on one side. And this It is natural that the invention of this invention extends to modified versions of these.
