  • Patent number: 11615927
    Abstract: A switch may include: a movable member comprising a movable piece extending from a swing shaft and being swingable around the swing shaft; and a pressing member configured to press the movable piece while moving in response to a pushing operation, the movable piece swinging in response to pressing from the pressing member. The pressing member comprises a first contact portion configured to slide along an extending direction of the movable piece in a state of being in contact with the movable piece due to movement by the pushing operation, and a second contact portion configured to be in contact with the movable piece at a position different from a position where the first contact portion is in contact, due to the movement by the pushing operation, and the pressing member presses the movable piece by the first contact portion and the second contact portion in a contact state.

  • Publication number: 20230005677
    Abstract: A switch according to one or more embodiments may include a movable unit movable in response to an operation. A drive unit is drivable in response to movement of the movable unit. The switch may include an operation-linked unit movable in response to the movement of the movable unit and an operation follower unit spaced from the operation-linked unit to move in response to movement of the operation-linked unit with a magnetic force between the operation follower unit and the operation-linked unit. At least one of the operation-linked unit or the operation follower unit is magnetic. The drive unit is drivable in response to movement of the operation follower unit. The operation follower unit accommodated in a chamber is spaced from the operation-linked unit.

  • Publication number: 20210304975
    Abstract: A trigger switch that is used in electric devices such as various types of electric tools may be provided that drives a drive unit, such as a drive motor of the electric device, by pushing a trigger. A trigger switch includes a mode switching lever that switches between a constant speed mode in which the drive unit is driven at constant speed and a shift mode in which the drive unit is driven by an output corresponding to a pushing amount of a trigger. Further, the mode switching lever includes a regulating portion that regulates the pushing amount of the trigger according to the switched mode.
