Patent number: 10128059Abstract: Provided is a switch that can be downsized. A switch is provided with a plunger, two upper torsion springs that bias the plunger in a returning direction, housing-side contacts, and plunger-side contacts. One of the upper torsion springs is arranged on one side of a plane that includes an axis passing through a central portion of the plunger, and that is perpendicular to perpendicular lines M connecting the plunger-side contacts and the axis, and the other one of the upper torsion springs is arranged on the other side of the plane.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Shinya Katsube, Kazuaki Morita, Hiroyuki Otsuka

Patent number: 10020130Abstract: Provided is a switch with excellent operability. A switch is provided with a plunger, a lower torsion spring in which a biasing direction changes according to the movement of the plunger. The lower torsion spring biases the plunger in a returning direction when the plunger is in a reference position, and biases the plunger in a direction different from the returning direction when the plunger is in an operation position.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Shinya Katsube, Kazuaki Morita, Hiroyuki Otsuka

Patent number: 9947487Abstract: Provided is a switch that can be downsized. A switch is provided with a plunger, and an upper torsion spring configured to bias the plunger in a returning direction. The torsion spring has a first arm that extends to the plunger and abuts against the plunger. The plunger has a hole at a position into which the first arm is inserted. The hole is a through hole extending in a direction that is perpendicular to a direction in which the plunger moves, and is the same as a direction in which the first arm extends when viewed in the direction in which the plunger moves.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2016Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Shinya Katsube, Kazuaki Morita, Hiroyuki Otsuka

Patent number: 9941061Abstract: Provided is a switch that can reliably bring contacts into contact with each other with a small load, and can be prevented from malfunctioning. A switch is provided with a plunger, a lower torsion spring in which a biasing direction changes according to the movement of the plunger. The lower torsion spring biases the plunger in an opposite direction to a returning direction when the plunger is in the operation position, and biases the plunger in a direction different from the opposite direction to the returning direction when the plunger is in the reference position.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Shinya Katsube, Kazuaki Morita, Hiroyuki Otsuka

Publication number: 20180005776Abstract: A terminal connecting mechanism includes a plate spring, an insulating housing having an accommodating portion to accommodate a fixed portion and an elastic portion of the plate spring, and a terminal electrode portion disposed in the accommodating portion. The accommodating portion includes a first opening to allow a conductor portion of an electric wire to be inserted into the accommodating portion, an electric wire insertion guide wall disposed from the first opening along an insertion direction of the electric wire, to guide the conductor portion, an inclined wall facing the electric wire insertion guide wall and being inclined toward the electric wire insertion guide wall along the insertion direction of the electric wire, wherein the fixed portion is fixed to the inclined wall, and a second opening to allow a jig to be inserted into the accommodating portion, thereby canceling contact between the elastic portion and the conductor portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2017Publication date: January 4, 2018Applicant: OMRON CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki OTSUKA, Kazuaki MORITA, Shinya KATSUBE

Patent number: 9735498Abstract: Provided is an electronic device that is highly resistant to a water-soluble grinding oil and a method for manufacturing the same. An electronic device includes a main body and a cable including a lead wire, an insulating portion, and an outer coat, a first sealing portion that covers the insulating portion, and a second sealing portion that seals the first sealing portion, the insulating portion is made of a material that is more resistant to a water-soluble grinding oil than the outer coat is, and the first sealing portion is made of a material that has higher adherence to the insulating portion than that of the second sealing portion does.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2016Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Shinya Katsube, Taijiro Fujiwara, Masaki Nakamura

Patent number: 9697960Abstract: A switch has a rotary shaft that rotates in response to an external force, a cam provided on the rotary shaft and including a cam action section, wherein the cam rotates in response to the rotation of the rotary shaft, a displacement member including a cam support section that contacts the cam action section, wherein the displacement member is displaced in response to the cam support section being pressed by the cam action section rotating, and a switch module that performs an on-off action in response to the displacement of the displacement member. The cam action section is made of a metal. The cam support section is made of a resin softer than the cam action section.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Kazuyuki Tsukimori, Manabu Takahashi, Hiroyuki Moriyama, Shinya Katsube, Yuki Yamamoto
