Some electronic equipment, such as some cathode ray tube oscilloscopes, require a rotary switch arrangement consisting of many switch parts with multiple modes of operation. In one mode, the rotating members of different switch sections are coupled together and rotate simultaneously, and in another mode, the rotating members of each switch section rotate independently. Certain of these electronic devices are switch devices in which an independent rotation mode can be selected only at a specific switching position, that is, a specific switching mode can be selected only in a switching range determined by the switching position of the rotating member of the other switch part. There is a need for a type of switch device in which the rotating members of the switch portion are independently rotatable.

In conventional rotary switch devices for printed circuits, the coupling and uncoupling of different switch parts are controlled by switch operating knobs. This progeny with a releasable coupling mechanism has the disadvantage that it is necessarily larger than desired in many applications, particularly in applications where space on an electronics panel is limited. There is therefore a need for a compact releasable coupler capable of the above described operation and that can be incorporated into compact printed circuit rotary switch devices.

Connect both parts so that they rotate at the same time. Referring to FIG. 3, for example, the helical spring (110) pushes the inner portion to the left in the figure, and the outer portion cannot move freely in the axial direction. The key (106) thus engages the keyway face to connect the inner and outer parts so that both parts rotate together.

Referring to FIG. 4, when the shaft (C) is pulled in the forward direction (rightward in the figure) K, the inner portion (3) moves further toward the space (toward), and the key (106) is removed. Since axial pressure is applied to the slanted rear end (left end in the figure) of the keyway (c) on the leg (107), the leg of the key (106) rotates outward to the right and the leg 1 (107) lies on the smooth outer surface of the cylindrical portion of the inner portion. Therefore, when the shaft (to) is pulled forward, the front switch part a3 and the rear switch part α
The shaft is separated and each part rotates independently by the rotation of each axis.

In order to prevent the key (106) from being sufficiently removed from the keyway (E), that is, to prevent the key (106) from rotating to the position shown by the imaginary line (106A), it is provided on the inner wall of the main body portion of the intermediate member (goods). The protrusion @η prevents each axis from separating at a certain switching position. The protrusions (b) may be angular, long or short to suit the particular application. If it is desired to separate at any switching position, then the protrusion (2) may be completely removed. The protrusion provided on the stepped neck portion σ of the pawl cam engages with the ear portion of the tubular portion (e) of the outer portion.

Prevents incorrect rotation of the two switch parts. By way of illustration, the limitation of independent rotation in the counterclockwise direction (in FIG. 1) of the rotating member 6I of the rear switch part I is
It is determined by the position of the rotating member (to) and (to) of δ. Since neither the outer part nor the pawl cam ff1 is free to move axially within the switch arrangement, the above-mentioned rotational limitation is not affected by the state of the clutch, i.e. whether the respective shafts are engaged or disengaged. As a result, the rear switch part α
The front switch portion α2 is also prevented from being erroneously rotated further to the counterclockwise switching position. In a particular application, if this special function is not needed, the ears (2) or protrusions (7) may be removed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the mechanism for releasably coupling a plurality of switch parts is not provided on the illegitimate child but is installed between the switch parts, thereby making it possible to reduce the size of the illegitimate child. Therefore, it can be used even when space on an electronic device panel is limited. Also, since the coupler is installed between the fixed plates,
The entire device can be made compact. Furthermore, since the rotational position where the shafts are coupled does not change due to the attachment of the heir, assembly errors in the device can be prevented. In addition, it is easily possible to limit the range in which other switch parts can rotate independently according to the settings of one switch part, or to prohibit disconnection of coupling at a specific rotational position. Remarkable effects can be obtained.

[Claims] 1. A tubular first shaft and a second shaft passing through the inside of the first shaft.
A rotating device comprising: a pair of rotating members, each rotationally controlled by a shaft and having a wiper; and a pair of stationary plates having a plurality of electrically conductive paths interconnected by the wipers of the rotating members. In the switch device, the first portion has a locking piece and is rotationally controlled by the first shaft (or second shaft), and the second shaft (or second shaft) has a retaining portion that engages with the locking piece. A coupler is provided between the pair of fixed plates, the coupling device having a second portion whose rotation is controlled by the first shaft (first shaft), and a second portion whose rotation is controlled by the first shaft (first shaft). A rotary switch device characterized in that the couplers are uncoupled by moving one of them in the axial direction relative to the other. 2. The rotary switch device according to claim 1, wherein the coupler includes means for limiting the independently rotatable range of one of the rotary members according to the rotational position of the other rotary member. 3. The rotary switch device according to claim 1, wherein the coupler includes means for prohibiting the locking piece from disengaging from the retaining portion at a specific rotational position of the switch. .
