Patent number: 6634235Abstract: A load sensor is provided, which prevents defective printing of strain-sensing elements caused by the deflection of a pressure-receiving portion and provides stabilized quality and fabrication yields. The load sensor is provided with the strain-sensing elements printed on the pressure-receiving portion. The tip portion of the strain generating portions having a loading point is allowed to stay in advance below the plane containing the print surface of the strain generating portions in the direction of thickness. The tip portion of the pressure-receiving portion will never stay above the print surface of the strain generating portions even when the pressure-receiving portion is deflected in the heating process during fabrication. Therefore, this makes it possible to avoid defective printing of the strain-sensing elements caused by the deflection of the pressure-receiving portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2001Date of Patent: October 21, 2003Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryoichi Maeda, Akito Miura, Koichi Takahashi, Osamu Tanabe, Kiyoshi Suzuki

Patent number: 4636601Abstract: A push-push switch comprises a reciprocatable operation shaft assembled in a housing, a movable contact responsive to operation of the operation shaft, and a heart-shaped cam for locking selectively the operation shaft at a certain position when the operation shaft is pushed in opposition to a recovery spring. An operation spring attached to the heart-shaped cam for pushing the heart-shaped cam toward the operation shaft is made of a plate spring which has two bent hook pieces and a band-like pushing spring portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1985Date of Patent: January 13, 1987Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Osamu Tanabe

Patent number: 4463233Abstract: A push switch, fixed on the back of a rotary variable resistor, comprises a stationary contact formed on the bottom of an insulating housing part, a movable contact of convex form, and a drive means formed on the end of an arm integrally molded with another part of the insulating housing. The drive means is mounted to the end of the operating shaft, and pushes the central part of the movable contact. Normally, the movable contact during axial movement of the operating shaft does not make contact with the stationary contact, when the operating shaft is pushed, the movable contact however, makes contact with the stationary contact. When pressure on the operating shaft is removed, the movable contact is returned to its original position by the resiliency of the movable contact and the arm.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1982Date of Patent: July 31, 1984Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Osamu Tanabe
