Abstract: A gear portion is provided on the inner peripheral surface of a dial, and a large diameter portion of a main driving gear is mated with the gear portion. A driven gear is mated with a small diameter portion of the main driving gear, and the state of an air conditioner is switched based on the moving operation of a cable through the gear portion, the main driving gear and the driven gear in the rotating operation of the dial. With this structure, it is not necessary to provide a rotary shaft as a member for transmitting an operating force to the central part or the dial. Consequently, it is possible to maintain a space in the central part of the dial. Thus, restrictions can be decreased in the case in which a knob is to be arranged.

Abstract: A switch button is coupled to a supporting member through a hinge. The switch button and the hinge are integrally molded using a synthetic resin or an elastomer, or a synthetic resin and a synthetic rubber, respectively. In this way, the switch button can be readily pressed and comfortably manipulated.

A cable (K) is provided between the first controller and the second controller, which changes, when switching between the undefrosting mode and the defrosting mode by the first operation knob and the shaft is performed, a mode switching operation position of the operation button and button holder according to the above switching operation.

Abstract: Two adjacent operation knobs (14, 15) are formed integrally with each other via a coupling portion (18) On the coupling portion (18), there are formed a V-shaped gap variable portion (18a) and cylindrical portions (19) having positioning guide portions (20). There are provided pin-shaped positioning portions (22) on the switch body (11). To assemble the operation knobs (14, 15) to the switch body (11), each of the positioning guide portions (20) is mated with the positioning portions (22) and the front portion of the operation knobs (14, 15) is inserted into the opening (12). In cooperation with each of the positioning guide portions (20) and the positioning portions (22), the spacing dimension D2 between the operation knobs (14, 15) is narrowed, for example, down to 0.5 mm or less, and the spacing dimension is to be sustained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a piperazine compound of the formula 1

Abstract: A baud rate detector detects baud rate of received serial data based on an AT command included in the serial data. A character discriminator detects parity type and data format of the serial data based on the AT command in the serial data. An information relay 16 sets the baud rate, the parity type and the data format to a register in a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter). A clock generator generates a clock signal for data reception and supplies the clock signal to the UART.

Abstract: Upon depression of a depression surface of an operating knob of a switch assembly, a depression working surface pushes down the head portion of a rubber contact, and a switching operation is performed. The operating knob is pushed up by the return elastic force of the rubber contact and returned to its original position. Then the upper face of the depression portion abuts against the correction member. As the correction member is positioned directly above the rubber contact, the moment generated by the return elastic force of the rubber contact is offset and the operating knob is straightened and maintained to be in a horizontal position. Therefore, the side surfaces of the head portion projecting from the operation hole of the switch case barely rub against the side edges of the operation hole in a depressed state owing to inclination of the operating knob.

Abstract: A slide switch that can remove foreign particles, such as metallic dust, from its ground terminals. When the movable contact slides toward a stroke end, the power source contact first passes through an end section of the power source terminal before disengaging the terminal. At that instant, arcs are generated between the contact and the terminal. Arcs produce metallic dust, carbide particles, etc. that adhere to the insulator and terminals creating buildup and obstructing the sliding path of the contacts. The switch is provided with a discharge hole and arc gaps along the sliding path of the contacts to eliminate the arc buildup. The contacts carry the metallic dust and carbide particles while sliding so that the dust and particles drop into the discharge hole or arc gap.

Abstract: A process for continuously preparing benzophenone-azines comprising oxidizing benzophenone-imines with molecular oxygen or a molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a copper halide catalyst is disclosed. The oxidation reaction is carried out in a multistage system under an oxygen partial pressure gradually decreasing from the former stage to the latter stage and at a conversion gradually decreasing from the former stage to the latter stage, while controlling the conversion so that the molar ratio of the benzophenone-imines to the copper halide in the final stage be maintained at 1 or more. By the process, the continuous reaction can stably be performed at a high conversion of the benzophenone-imines without involving insolubilization and sedimentation of the catalyst.
