  • Patent number: 5957269
    Abstract: A mounting bolt 30 has a disclike flange portion 30b formed on an end of a tightening portion 30a. A switch bracket 28 is fixed to a screw hole 12 by tightening the bolt 30 with the bolt 30 inserted into a mounting hole 29 formed so as to have the same diameter as the screw hole 12. A rubber cover 21 covers the switch bracket 28, and has an annular seal portion 21a formed thereon. The seal portion 21a is larger in diameter than the mounting hole 29 and smaller in diameter than the flange portion 30b. A stepped portion 30c is formed on the bolt 30 in such a manner that a surface of contact thereof with the bracket 28 extends in parallel to the bracket 28, that the diameter thereof is larger than the mounting hole 29 and smaller than the seal portion 21a, and that the length thereof in an axial direction is such that the flange portion 30b biases the seal portion 21a at the time of tightening the bolt 30.

  • Patent number: 5434375
    Abstract: A switch with a connector, having a switch body and a first connector member. The switch body is screwed into and fixed to a supporting member. The first connector member is mounted to the switch body and provided such that a direction of connecting a second connector member to the first connector member is disposed at a predetermined angle with respect to a direction of inserting the switch body. The first connector member is disposed so as to be rotatable around an axis along the direction of inserting the switch body. When the first connector member is rotated around the axis along the direction of inserting the switch body after the switch body is fixed to the supporting member, the first connector member can be set at a predetermined position for connecting the first connector member to the second connector member.
