Publication number: 20240038464Abstract: The invention addresses the problem of providing a pushbutton switch which can give a clear operation feeling to a person who performs a push operation, and in which the sharpness, accuracy, and brightness of an image output from a display can be increased as compared with those in the related art. A button accepts a pressing operation. Lenses focus and project an image output from a display on a diffuser plate on the top surface of the button 1. A holding member holds the lenses. Further, the holding member is configured of a combination of a spacer having a rib fitted to a rib receiver of the lens arranged on the top surface side among the lenses 15a to 15d, a spacer having a rib receiver fitted to a part of the lens arranged on the external display side, and an aperture film sandwiched between the spacer and the spacer. As a result, the above problem is resolved.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2021Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Yotaro OKANO, Masahiro AOYAMA, Nobuhiko BETSUDA

Publication number: 20220137717Abstract: The present invention address the problem of providing a push-button switch which is capable of clearly displaying an image output from a display and which allows a person performing a depressing operation to have a distinct operational feel. Among the elements constituting the push-button switch, a button is a transparent or substantially transparent button which is disposed over a display and which receives a depressing operation. Lenses are disposed between the button and the display, and cause an image output from the display to be projected with a focal point at a diffusing plate in a top surface of the button in a standby position before a depressing operation is performed. A holding member incorporates the lenses in such a way that the position and orientation of each of the lenses are fixed with respect to the display. Thus, the problem is solved.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Sho HARADA, Kotaro MUSHIAKE, Yotaro OKANO, Masahiro AOYAMA, Hiroki URA, Akiko SUZUKI, Yoshihiro TANAKA, Nobuhiko BETSUDA

Patent number: 10937606Abstract: A push-button switch has a sound function and a button accepts a pushing operation. A second plunger slides in coordination with the pushing operation on the button. A torsion coil spring stores or releases elastic energy together with sliding of the second plunger. A sounder unit slides using elastic energy released by the torsion coil spring at the same time as the torsion coil spring elastically deforms, and the sounder unit generates a hitting sound by impacting a hitting piece. A movable contact piece has a movable-side contact Pm and is capable of moving due to being pushed by the sliding sounder unit. A fixed contact piece has a fixed side contact, the movable-side contact Pm being engaged with the fixed side contact at the same time or substantially at the same time as the sounder unit hits the hitting piece.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: NKK SWITCHES CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuhiko Betsuda, Masahiro Aoyama, Yotaro Okano
