  • Patent number: 9671813
    Abstract: A trigger switch has a case member, a cover member, and an operation member configured to be used to carry out an operation. The case member and the cover member are combined with each other to form a waterproof case. When the operation member is operated, the operation member is displaced inward of the waterproof case. An internal pressure of the waterproof case changes in accordance with displacement of the operation member. The case member has a case base that is made from an inelastic body. The case base does not deform in accordance with a change in internal pressure of the waterproof case. The case base has at least one hole part. The case member has at least one deformation section that seals the at least one hole part. The deformation section is made from an elastic body.

  • Patent number: 9592806
    Abstract: Provided is a stroke simulator in which the piston operates smoothly without being inhibited from displacement thereof by the negative pressure generated in the closed space, even if the piston is configured to be displaced so as to close the space in which the elastic member is housed, and to elastically deform the elastic member. A stroke simulator, in which a simulator piston presses a first return spring, which is housed in a bottomed cylindrical portion, from an opening portion side of the cylindrical portion, to cause the first return spring to be elastically deformed, and to generate a brake reaction force. When the opening portion is closed by the simulator piston, a brake fluid filled in the cylinder portion is taken into the inside of the cylindrical portion via a flow path leading to the inside of the cylindrical portion from a second cylinder.
