  • Patent number: 9921603
    Abstract: A staging operation unit has a base member having a convex portion, a rotary member, a bearing member fixed on the convex portion that rotatably mounts the rotary member thereon with respect to the base member, and an accessory. The rotary member has a pushed-in movable member that accepts a push-in operation in a direction along a rotation axis of the bearing member, a rotary operation detection unit that detects rotation of the rotary member and outputs a signal corresponding to a result of the detection of the rotation to outside, and a push-in operation detection unit that detects the push-in operation of the pushed-in movable member and outputs a signal corresponding to a result of the detection of the push-in operation to outside. At least a part of the accessory is housed inside the convex portion.

  • Patent number: 6670564
    Abstract: A lead wire (18) is connected to a terminal (17) of a substrate (14) of an electrical component. Subsequently, the substrate is attached to a substrate attaching portion (5) of a lever base (1). Moreover, a midway portion of the lead wire is inserted into and placed in a lead wire guide portion (6) of a large-diameter portion (2). Thereafter, a cylindrical cover member (20) is attached to the outside of the lever base in such a manner as to cover the whole of the large-diameter portion and the substrate. There is no necessity for performing an operation of inserting the lead wire into a fine lead wire insertion hole. Moreover, the large-diameter portion, the substrate, the substrate, and the lead wire are covered by the cover member. Thus, there is no need for forming a cutout in the cover member.
