186 Push switch US10277314 2002-10-22 US06664491B2 2003-12-16 Yasunori Yanai; Hisashi Watanabe
In a switch, an elastic member made of elastic material includes a bar section, a conical section at its upper portion functioning as a first deforming section, and a second deforming section at its lower portion. A movable contact in a switch case is pushed with the lower end portion of the second deforming section. A bar section of an elastic element projects through a central hole of a cover fixed to the switch case. In this switch, a pushing force applied to the elastic element deforms the first deforming section elastically, and then the second deforming section deforms elastically, and thus, the switch operates. The switch can absorb fluctuations due to combination of components of an electronic appliance, and stabilize its manipulation feeling through eliminating looseness of an operation button of the appliance.

198 Push-button switches US173330 1980-07-29 US4289943A 1981-09-15 Ryoichi Sado
Different from conventional push-button switches with which an electric circuit is closed and opened as the button top is pushed with a finger tip and as the finger tip is withdrawn from the button top, respectively, the inventive push-button switch operates in a unique manner that the electric circuit is opened already as the pushing force by the finger tip is still on the way of increasing. The inventive push-button switches utilize the delicate snap back action taking place as the strain in the snap spring portion in the diaphragm covering of the switch exceeds a certain critical point so as to spontaneously pull apart the movable contact member on the inward surface of the covering from the fixed contact points on the base plate while the button top is still under pushing with a finger tip. The inventive push-button switch is advantageous because of the absence of the transient disturbances in the circuit such as chattering and bouncing.
