  • Mounting structure of switching unit
    Patent number: 4988553
    Abstract: A mounting structure of a switching unit according to the present invention is detachably held in a holding aperture of a switching unit-mounting member. The unit comprises an engaging opening formed at an inner surface of the holding aperture and an elastic holding-pawl one end of which is fixed to a side of a case of the unit. The pawl has an engaging portion at a middle portion thereof and a press portion at the other end thereof. The engaging portion confronts the inner surface of the holding aperture to detachably engage with the engaging opening while the unit is held in the holding aperture. The press portion is protruded to an outside of the holding aperture. The pawl has enough elasticity to bend towards the side of the case so that the engaging portion is disengaged from the engaging opening by pressing the press portion in a direction away from the inner surface of the holding aperture.
