Fixed terminal 8.
8, but the connection part is located on the support axis line a of the tilting body 12, so when the tilting body 12 tilts, the connection part between the conductive member 28, 28 and the fixed terminals 8, 8 becomes the fulcrum. Therefore, the two will not slide.
なお、上記一実施例においては、接触片２７．２７を導
電性ばね材料によって形成したが、必ずしもばね材料に
よって形成する必要がなく、比較的肉薄の導電材料であ
ればよい。In the above embodiment, the contact pieces 27, 27 are made of a conductive spring material, but they do not necessarily need to be made of a spring material, and may be made of a relatively thin conductive material.
また、２極の発光ダイオードについて説明したが、３極

を埋設すればよい。Further, although the description has been made regarding a two-pole light emitting diode, in the case of a three-pole light emitting diode, three coil springs may be embedded in the operating section.
この考案は以上説明したように、導電性のコイルばねの
一端部に接触片を嵌挿し、この接触片に発光ダイオード
の端子を挿入するようにしたから、発光ダイオードの端
子の挿入時に接触片が挿入案内の役目をなし、挿入作業
の容易化を図ることができる。As explained above, in this invention, a contact piece is inserted into one end of a conductive coil spring, and a light emitting diode terminal is inserted into this contact piece, so that when the light emitting diode terminal is inserted, the contact piece is inserted. It serves as an insertion guide and can facilitate the insertion work.
さらに、接触片は円筒状をなしその一端部に複数の羽根
が設けられているため、これら羽根がコイルばねの復元
力によって発光ダイオードの端子に圧接するため接触は
確実で接触不良を起す虞れがなく、信頼性の高い照明付
スイッチを提供することができる。Furthermore, since the contact piece has a cylindrical shape and has multiple blades at one end, these blades press against the terminal of the light emitting diode due to the restoring force of the coil spring, so the contact is reliable, but there is a risk of contact failure. It is possible to provide a highly reliable illuminated switch without any problems.
