The electrostatic touch panel can move toward and away from the circuit board. The cover sheet has a deformable projection projecting. The deformable projection has an upper tip contacting the electrostatic touch panel. The deformable projection has substantially a dome shape having a concave lower surface and a convex upper surface.

Abstract: A remote controller includes a capacitive touch panel having flexibility, push switches beneath a lower surface of the capacitive touch panel, a control unit for detecting a position on an upper surface of the capacitive touch panel which is touched, and a transmitter for transmitting a first remote-control signal indicating the detected position and a second remote-control signal indicating the activating of the push switches. The remote controller is capable of remotely controlling various operations of an apparatus with a simple operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switching device and a remote control unit using the switching device to be used for operating a variety of electronic products. The invention aims to provide a device and unit which can be miniaturized and which can utilize a high-density components mounting technology. A switch (12) is disposed inside an inner periphery of the rotary operating part (17), and a lever (14) of the switch (12) is engaged with a cam (18) formed at an inner boundary of the operating part (17), constituting a switching device (19). With this constitution, the switching device and the remote control unit using the device can be provided miniaturized using a high-density components mounting.

Abstract: A control section with control keys arranged therein is formed, and upper and lower casings for storing a circuit, and holder capable of loading a button battery and sliding within said casing are respectively provided with stopping portion abutting each other when the holder is pulled out, and thereby, it is possible to obtain a remote-control transmitter which is free from dropping or losing of the holder.

Abstract: A switching device and a remote control transmitter using the switching device are provided. In the switching device, a driving body rotating in conjunction with an operation body is provided. This rotation of the driving body provides an electrical contact or separation of a switch. A rotation of the operation body causes a great number of electrical contacts and separations of the switch. The operation as described above provides fine detection of an operation angle of the operation body to provide detection of the operation position with a high accuracy.

Abstract: A substantially ring shaped resistor unit and an conductor unit with a certain space therebetween are provided under an operating unit having a substantially disc shape or a substantially ring shape. When an operating unit is depressed, the resistor unit and the conductor unit are contacted with each other at a position at which the depression is provided. Based on the contact, a controlling part detects the position at which the depression is provided, and a transmitting part transmits a remote control signal corresponding to the position at which the depression is provided.

Abstract: A battery enclosure has a containing section containing batteries in a linear array within the case. Fixed to the case and between the batteries, there is provided an intermediate electrode in contact with the batteries. By this configuration each of the batteries is individually held by the intermediate electrode. Hence battery is prevented from readily jumping out and held securely in place. Further, the elongated lid hardly comes off.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp having a front lens that contains an antistatic agent in a base material forming the front lens. In one embodiment, the lamp includes, in addition to the front lens, a light source, a lamp body for containing the light source and forming a lamp chamber, and a reflective mirror which is disposed in the lamp chamber and used for forming outside irradiation light by reflecting light emitted from light source. The reflective mirror may include a main reflective surface portion for reflecting the light emitted from the light source, and the lamp may also include an extension reflector formed integrally with or separately from the main reflective surface portion of the reflective mirror. The front-end portion of the extension reflector portion may be disposed opposite to the front lens containing the antistatic agent.

Abstract: An electrical contactor has low electrical contact resistance and superior durability.

Abstract: A switch substrate (11) is provided on the upper surface with a pluralities of fixed contact points (11A, 11B), and a driving body (12) made of an elastic material is placed over the switch substrate (11). The driving body (12) is integrally formed of a center press portion (14) and a periphery press portion (17) corresponding respectively to the fixed contact points (11A and 11B). The periphery press portion (17) is provided on the bottom surface at the central end region with a first protrusion (18), the cross sectional end shape of which protrusion being round and making contact to the switch substrate (11). The first protrusion (18) works as a fulcrum separating the functions of center press portion (14) and periphery press portion (17) to be independent to each other. As a result, even when an operating force is given on the operating body (22) at a place somewhat deviating from a right targeted area, the operating force can surely bring only a targeted switch into ON-OFF operation.
