Patent number: 11289282Abstract: A switch used in an operation device such as a mouse has flexibility, and includes a movable member in which a first end side is fixed as a swing fulcrum and a second end side swings, and a pressing member that presses a portion between the first end and the second end of the movable member by receiving a pressing force from an outside source. Bent portions that are bent in a swinging direction are formed in side portions of the movable member. When the movable member warps by being pressed by the pressing member, the bent portions resist against the warping of the movable member, and therefore an operator can have click feeling.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Hiroaki Fujino, Kenji Takahama, Yoshinori Ijiri, Kazufumi Osaki, Keigo Nakahata

Patent number: 11227731Abstract: A switch includes a housing, a movable member reciprocable in a movement direction relative to the housing and including an operation part located at an end of the movable member outside the housing, and a guide that guides the movable member in the movement direction. The operation part has a plurality of slopes extending linearly from the operation surface toward a distal end of the movable member outside the housing, sloping away from a central axis of the movable member toward the operation surface, and sloping in directions intersecting with one another as viewed in the movement direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Kenji Kuroki, Yuya Kudo, Kenji Takahama
