Publication number: 20240105402Abstract: A lead frame 10 includes first and second frames 13, 14 and a fixed contact piece 15. The fixed contact piece 15 is integrally formed with the first frame via a conductive connection part 16. The first frame and the fixed contact piece 15 and the second frame have installation parts 13a, 14a, 14b, 15b to which resistance elements are able to install. The first frame 13 and the fixed contact piece have installation parts 13b, 15a to which resistance elements are able to install. Electrical circuits of different types are formed through combinations of whether the resistance elements are installed to the respective installation parts and whether the conductive connection part 16 is cut off.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: OMRON CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki FUJITA, Kenji SHINOHARA, Hiroto YONEHARA

Patent number: 11942284Abstract: A switch device may include a pressing member, an urging member, fixed contacts, at least one movable contact swingable in a direction intersecting with a movement direction of the pressing member and connecting and disconnecting between the fixed contacts. The pressing member may include a slider portion extending in a direction oblique to the movement direction and slidable along the movable contact. The movable contact may be pressed by the slider portion in the pressing member sliding to swing and come in contact with and separate from at least one of the fixed contacts in response to the pressing member moving from a reference position to a pressed position.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki Fujita, Kenji Shinohara, Hiroto Yonehara

Patent number: 9153891Abstract: The present invention is to provide a terminal capable of being reduced in size and a connecting holder of the same. The terminals protrude from a housing, and include a branch portion, a terminal section cut out from the branch portion toward a tip end of the terminal section in a longitudinal direction, and a bent portion adjacent to the tip end. By decreasing a distance from the bent portion to a tip end of the terminal, variations in length size to the tip end due to bending can be suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Fujita, Hiroto Yonehara

Patent number: 9093231Abstract: The present invention provides a switch having a small longitudinal size of movable contacts and reduced size. The switch includes a base, a pair of fixing terminals standing on an upper surface of the base, an insulating wall section integrated with at least one of the fixing terminals, a push button arranged to be upward and downward movable in the axial direction, and a slider movable upward and downward with the push button. The slider has elastic arm sections in both ends thereof, the elastic arm sections being provided with movable contact portions to be brought into sliding contact with the fixing terminals or the insulating wall section while pressing the fixing terminals or the insulating wall section from one side The switch is configured to enable the movable contact portions to connect to and separate from the fixing terminals based on operation of the push button upward and downward.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Fujita, Hiroto Yonehara, Kenichi Ando
