Generally, seesaw switches are used in various electrical appliances, devices, etc., and it may be convenient if the switches are illuminated. However, since the seesaw part of a seesaw switch draws a circular orbit around the fulcrum, unlike a normal push switch, it is difficult to directly apply force in the direction in which it is pushed, and it is difficult to apply the lighting mechanism used for push switches as is. Can not. There are also seesaw switches that incorporate a switch mechanism using conductive rubber to ensure reliable switch operation, but in order to ensure reliable switch operation with very little chattering, the seesaw part must be vertically moved. It is desirable to apply a directional force.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the illustrated embodiment. Reference numeral 1 is a seesaw part in which a shaft 1a is pivotally supported on a bracket-shaped pedestal 2, and a pressing operation surface part 1b, that is, the upper surface operated with a finger, is provided with an illumination display. A window 3 is provided. The pedestal 2 is fixed to a printed circuit board 4, and grooves 2a each having a semicircular cross section are formed on the upper surface of the upright piece, into which a shaft rod 1a protruding from the side surface of the seesaw part 1 is fitted. In addition, there is a gable roof-like slope 5 at the upper end.
A protruding portion 5 having a diameter of “a” is erected, and its top portion abuts against the center of the inner surface of the seesaw portion 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes a conductive rubber switch section attached to the printed circuit board 4, and is located on both sides of the pedestal 2 so as to sandwich it therebetween. Reference numeral 7 denotes a box-shaped connecting member with an upward opening, which is fitted between the seesaw section 1 and the conductive rubber switch section 6, respectively. The connecting member 7 is placed on the conductive rubber switch section 6, and is surrounded by the rising piece of the pedestal 2, the protruding section 5, and the case 8.
Further, the top portion 7c of the side plate 7b, which has a triangular upper end, is in contact with the top portion 1d of the inverted V-shaped portion formed at the lower end of the side piece 1c of the pressing operation portion 1b, so that rattling and tilting are avoided. It is stably maintained without any occurrence. Furthermore, since the opening angle α of the inverted V-shaped portion of the side piece 1c is set larger than the angle β of the triangular top of the side plate 7b, the rotation of the seesaw portion about the shaft 1a as a fulcrum during the pressing operation allows Rotation of the side piece 1c about the top portion 1d occurs,
Not only does the rotation of the seesaw part 1 become smooth, but also the pressing force from the seesaw part 1 is always applied to the connecting member 7 at the triangular apex 7c, and the connecting member can be moved in the vertical direction. No excessive force is applied to the parts. A notch groove 8a is formed on the inner surface of the case 8, and the rising piece of the pedestal 2 fits into this notch groove, and the upper edge of the notch groove 8a is a semicircular gouge. 8b is formed, and the shaft 1a of the seesaw part 1 is rotatably held by this hollowed part 8b, and is also prevented from coming off upward. Reference numeral 9 denotes a light emitting body, which is housed inside the connecting member 7, and its lead terminal 10 passes through the hole 7a in the bottom plate of the connecting member 7, and its tip end is connected to the printed circuit board 4.

The seesaw switch according to this invention is constructed as described above and is used, for example, as an input switch part of a digital circuit such as an audio product. When either end is pushed, the seesaw part 1 rotates around the shaft 1a as a fulcrum. As the connecting member 7 moves, the pushed connecting member 7 descends to actuate the conductive rubber switch portion 6, and at the same time, the light emitter 9 lights up. A similar action is performed at the other end, and it is possible to distinguish which switch is turned on by lighting the light emitter 9. The light emitter 9 is illuminated from the outside through the window 3 of the seesaw part 1. Can be visually recognized.

As explained above, this invention provides a connecting member between the seesaw part and the conductive rubber switch part,
Since the rotational force of the seesaw section is converted into linear force to operate the conductive rubber switch section, reliable switch operation with little chattering can be achieved. In addition, the connecting member moves up and down with the switch operation, but since it moves using the pedestal and case as a guide,
Its movement is smooth and does not tilt or get stuck. Furthermore, since the connecting member and the conductive rubber switch part have a two-tiered structure, and the light emitter is housed within the connecting member, it can be assembled in a narrow space, making it possible to downsize the entire switch. be.
