Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To strongly install an operation body in a case, and improve operability by holding two ribs and a fixing member arranged between the two ribs whose claws are formed mutually outward on the supsending tip of the operation body at an interval shorter than an engaging length of the claws and a slidingly movable member. SOLUTION: ON/OFF of a power source of a driving part by operation of an operation body 34 is performed by moving a rib 35 in an opening 33 formed in a case 30 when the operation body 34 is operated. That is, since a fixing member (a magnet) 45 fixedly arranged on the rib 35 also slides at this time, when the magnet 45 is positioned above a reed switch 48, the reed switch 48 is turned on, and the power source is turned on. In this case, since the magnet 45 and the rib 35 are held at an interval shorter than an engaging length of a claw 37 arranged on the rib 35 and a slidingly movable member 39, even if the rib 35 slightly curves, engagement of the slidingly movable member 39 and the claw 37 is not released, and falling out of the operation body 34 from the case 30 can be prevented.

Numeral 39 denotes a sliding member which forms an elastic portion 41 having an opening at the center and three projections 40 formed on the side. The sliding member 39 deflects the rib 35 and inserts it. After that, the claw 37 returns to its original position by the restoring force of the rib 35, so that the claw 37 is caught on the outer periphery of the opening and is fixed as a stopper. The elastic portion 41 is formed in a U-shape, and a central protrusion 40 of the formed three protrusions 40 is largely bent inward. The elastic portion 41 is provided inside the upper case 31.
A locking portion 42 is formed at a position opposite to the
One protrusion 43 is formed on the elastic member 41 to bend and contact the elastic body 41. Further, the size of the sliding member 39 is larger than the opening 33 of the upper case 31, and the upper case 31 is interposed between the operating body 34 and the sliding member 39 to function as a stopper for the operating body 34. And, the sliding member 39 is formed with a projection 44 which is in contact with the back side of the upper case 31,
Since this portion abuts and slides, it can slide smoothly. In such a configuration, when the operating body 34 is operated, the sliding member 39 also moves at the same time, and the upper case 31
Will move across. At this time, the projections 43 formed on the locking portions 42 are attached to the projections 40 formed on the elastic portions 41.
Are in contact with each other, so that a click feeling when operating the operating tool 34 can be obtained.

Reference numeral 45 denotes the rib formed at an opposing position.
The magnet 45 is fixed by a screw 46 that penetrates a hole formed in the center by a fixing member, that is, a magnet sandwiched between 35. The screw 46 is screwed with a nut 47 provided on the sliding member 39, so that the magnet 45 and the sliding member 39 are fixed. And the screw 46 is
The tip of the rib 35 is fitted into the insertion portion 38 to prevent the rib 35 from being deformed inward. That is, by attaching the magnet 45, the engagement between the claw 37 and the sliding member 39 can be reliably performed, and the operating body
The retaining of the case 34 onto the case 30 is surely performed. The size of the magnet 45 depends on the operating body.
It is installed so that it is short in the movement direction of 34 and long in the vertical direction. In the present embodiment, the interval between the ribs 35 and the width of the magnet 45 are formed to be the same length. However, as another embodiment, the width of the magnet 45 is set to be smaller than the engagement length between the claw 37 and the sliding member 39. In this way, even if the rib 35 is slightly curved, the engagement between the sliding member 39 and the claw 37 does not come off, and the operating body 34 is separated from the case 30. Never fall off.

Since the magnets 45 having substantially the same width as the interval between the ribs 35 are provided between the ribs 35, the operating body 34 can be fixed without falling off the case 31. Even if it tries to bend in the direction in which the engagement with the sliding member 39 is released, it will not bend because it is pressed by the magnet 45. That is, the operating body 34 does not fall out of the case 30.

Further, since the reed switch 48 is provided in a part of the moving range of the magnet 45 in the case 30, there is no load due to the switch at the time of operation, and the sliding of the operating body 34 can be reduced with a smaller force than a mechanical switch. Easy to do.

Can be increased, and the distinction between when the reed switch 48 detects the magnetism of the magnet 45 and when it does not detect the magnetism can be made clear.

Since the screw 46 extends through the magnet 45 to the vicinity of the operating portion 36 of the operating body 34, even if a force is applied when operating the operating body 34, the operating body 34 tends to deform. Since it is reinforced by the screw 46 provided on the operation portion 36 of the operation body 34, it is not deformed.

According to the present invention, there is provided an operating body in which claws are formed outward at the tips of two hanging ribs, and an opening through which the operating body can move back and forth when the ribs of the operating body are inserted. A sliding member that engages with the claw and sandwiches the case with the operating body; a fixing member is provided between the ribs; Since it is held at intervals shorter than the engagement length with the moving member,
Even if the rib is slightly curved, the engagement between the sliding member and the claw does not come off, and the operating body does not fall out of the case.

Also, since the fixing member having a width substantially equal to the interval between the ribs is provided between the ribs, the operating body is fixed so as not to fall out of the case, and the operating body can be moved within the range of the opening. Further, by sandwiching the fixing member between the two ribs, the ribs do not curve inward, and the ribs do not curve inward and the operating body does not come off the case.

Further, since the fixed member is a magnet, and the magnetism detecting member is provided in a part of the moving range of the magnet in the case, there is no load due to the switch at the time of operation, and the sliding of the operation body does not apply force. Easy to do.

Since the length of the magnet in the direction of movement of the magnet is shorter than the length of the magnet in the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement, the distance between the magnet and the magnetic detection means when the operating body is moved can be increased. As a result, the distinction between when the magnetism detecting means detects the magnetism of the magnet and when it does not detect the magnetism can be made clear.

Further, since the screw for fixing the fixing member is inserted to the vicinity of the operating portion of the operating body, even if the operating body is deformed due to a force when operating the operating body, it is provided on the operating portion of the operating body. It is not deformed because it is reinforced by the set screw.
