  • Publication number: 20230268146
    Abstract: A switch device includes: a printed circuit board; a rubber sheet configured to cover the printed circuit board; an operating knob; an operating mechanism; an operating mechanism plate; and a housing having a side surface provided with an insertion hole, and a bottom surface provided with a discharge hole for discharging liquid entering an inside of the housing; and a back cover that is fitted from a back side of the housing and sandwiches an entire periphery of the rubber sheet with a stepped portion formed inside the housing. The printed circuit board is stored in a space between the back cover and the rubber sheet. The discharge hole is located in a lower portion of a space between an inner surface of the housing and the rubber sheet. A bottom portion exists between the discharge hole and the rubber sheet.

  • Publication number: 20230268144
    Abstract: A switch device includes: a printed circuit board provided with a connector; a rubber sheet; an operating knob; an operating mechanism; an operating mechanism plate; and a housing having a side surface provided with an insertion hole and a bottom surface provided with a discharge hole. The rubber sheet has a connector portion discharge path configured to guide the liquid entering the housing through the insertion hole to the discharge hole. The connector portion discharge path has one end connected to a part of the rubber sheet covering the connector, extends to be inclined from the one end toward the discharge hole provided on the bottom surface, and has the other end formed in a vicinity of the bottom surface and separated from the rubber sheet covering the connector. A gap exists between a lower end portion of the rubber sheet covering the connector and the other end.

  • Patent number: 9183684
    Abstract: In a remote control device for a vehicle including: a portable transmitter configured to repeatedly transmit a signal for giving an instruction to activate an activation device mounted in a vehicle, in response to an operation of a manipulator which is performed continuously for a predetermined time or more; and a vehicle-side receiver provided in the vehicle to activate the activation device based on the signal transmitted from the portable transmitter, the portable transmitter transmits a first signal including a data frame having at least an ID code, a function code determining an action of the activation device, and a first error detection code and then repeatedly transmits a second signal, and a data frame of the second signal having the same function code as that of the first signal and a second error detection code generated based on the function code and the data frame of the first signal.
