Patent number: 10636289Abstract: A switch mechanism arranged on a slanted inner peripheral face of a recessed portion formed on a back side of a housing and capable of providing good click feeling is provided. The rotatably-arranged switch mechanism is provided on the slanted inner peripheral face of the recessed portion formed on the back case on back side of a display part, and includes a push part arranged on one end of a knob body arranged rotatable around a shaft to be pushed by a user's finger, and a transmission part located at another end of the knob body to transmit rotation force generated by pushing the push part to a push switch. When the push part is pushed by the finger during control, the knob body rotates around the shaft and transmits rotational force to an actuation piece of the push switch via the transmission part, thereby pushing the push switch.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Futaba CorporationInventor: Hideo Kitazawa

Patent number: 7936138Abstract: Provided is a motor controller for controlling a motor installed at an object such as an electric car operated using a transmitter. A manipulation of a manipulation tool of the transmitter is allocated for brake and reverse modes. A specific value of brake power contained in a signal demodulated by a receiver is stored in a memory unit as a changeover reference value, and a changeover determining unit compares the changeover reference value with the brake power. If the brake power is greater than the changeover reference value, the changeover determining unit transmits a changeover signal to a control unit, and if the manipulation tool is manipulated to a neutral point after the control unit receives the changeover signal, the control unit changes the state of the manipulation tool from brake mode to reverse mode. The changeover reference value can be changed by an operator using an external device.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: FUTABA CorporationInventors: Kazuo Katsuyama, Hideo Kitazawa, Takatoshi Morita
