An intermediate displacement board (120) composed of a metal plate is arranged on a printed circuit board (110) having electrode patterns (E1-E7) and then a strain generative body (130) composed of silicon rubber is arranged on top thereof. Then, the arrangement is fixed to the printed circuit board (110) with attachments (140). Depressing a displacement portion (133) causes a connecting portion (132) to be deflected and an electrode (F0) to be brought into contact with the electrodes (E1, E2) to make them conductive, thereby allowing the pushbutton switch to be turned ON. Depressing further the displacement portion (133) causes an elastic deformation portion (134) to be elastically deformed and crushed and the intermediate displacement board (120) to be pushed downward. The capacitance of capacitors (C3-C7), which are constituted by the electrodes (E3-E7) and the intermediate displacement board (120), are varied according to the depression of the intermediate displacement board (120). By detecting the variation in capacitance, it becomes possible to detect three-dimensional components of an applied force. |

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a capacitance type switch device for controlling detection sensitivity in response to variation of a detection value. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of detection electrodes 2 each used for detecting proximity of a human body are installed and a detection electrode area is changed over by using switches. When a detection object is separated from this switch device, SWs 1-3 are turned off and a SW 4 is turned on. Thereby, the detection electrode area is set to three times as much as each area of the three detection electrodes 2 and the detection sensitivity is increased. When the detection object is near to the switch device, the SWs 1-3 are turned on and the SW 4 is turned off. Thereby, the detection electrode area is set to an area equivalent to the area of the single detection electrode 2 and the detection sensitivity is set to a standard value. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a motor, a motor system with an encoder using the motor, and a multidirectional input apparatus suitable for reducing the apparatus as a whole. <P>SOLUTION: The motor 1 is provided with a casing 2 for supporting a rotational shaft 6 and a holder 3. A PTC 14 as an overcurrent protecting element is accommodated in a recess groove 3d, formed in the vicinity of an inner circumference edge of the holder 3. A tapered notch face 3c is formed on the outer wall of the holder 3 and intersects a line P at an angle of 45° so as to become maximize length for the formed region of the recess groove 3d in the axial direction. Two motors are used for a drive source for applying a force-torque sense to an operation lever 37. When the first and second motors 41, 42 are disposed so as to orthogonally intersect the lines P passing their rotational shafts 6, the notch faces 3c of the holder 3 attached to both motors 41, 42 are adjacent and face each other through an intersection point Q of the lines P. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic capacity sensor with which consumption power can be reduced by switching of a sleep mode properly. <P>SOLUTION: A capacitive element is constituted between a displacement electrode 12 and the capacitive element electrodes E1 and E2. Above the displacement electrode 12, a movable electrode 15 for a return switch which can come into contact with the displacement electrode 12 due to the displacement of a direction button 32 is set separately. When the direction button 32 is operated, the movable electrode 15 for the return switch moves, then, contacts with the displacement electrode 12. Both the movable electrode and the displacement electrode move with a contact state. Due to the displacement of the displacement electrode 12, a distance between the capacitive element electrodes E1 and E2 changes, so an electrostatic capacitive value of the capacitive element changes, a force is recognized based on the change. At a transition process from a non-contact state between the displacement electrode 12 and the movable electrode 15 for the return switch to the contact state, an output signal surely changes across a threshold voltage. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic apparatus having a touch sensor that cannot be seen directly from the outside of an enclosure, and can detect a state when a human body approaches or comes into contact with the enclosure. <P>SOLUTION: When one portion of a human body, such as hands and fingers, is brought closer to the surface of the enclosure 2A in a robot toy (electronic equipment) 2, a variable capacitance section is formed at an area to a counter electrode 3 that opposes one portion of the human body via the enclosure 2A. The capacitance of the variable capacitance section changes according to the opposing area and opposing distance between one portion of the human body and the counter electrode 3, so that the approach or contact of one portion of the human body to the robot toy 2 can be detected by detecting the change. Additionally, since the counter electrode 3 for composing the touch sensor can be provided in the enclosure 2A, the touch sensor cannot be seen directly from the outside of the robot toy 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a force-detecting device with a function as a push button switch. SOLUTION: A middle displacement plate 120 made of a metal plate is arranged on a printed circuit board 110 with electrode patterns E1-E7, and a strain-generating body 130 made of silicon rubber is placed on it before being fixed by a mounting tool 140. When a displacement part 133 is pressed down, a connection part 130 is deflected, an electrode F0 comes into contact with the electrodes E1 and E2 for conducting electricity, and a push button switch is turned on. When the displacement part 133 is further pressed down, an elastic deformation part 134 is elastically deformed for collapsing, and the middle displacement plate 120 is pressed down. The capacitance value of capacity elements C1-C7 that are composed of the electrodes E3-E7 and the middle displacement plate 120 is changed according to the way how the middle displacement plate 120 is pressed down. By detecting the change, each axial component of three-dimensional axes of applied force can be detected. |

PURPOSE: To provide the proximity detection mode that detects proximity to a switch by a conductor to the switch device which applies switching to the switch in the direct machine operating mode. CONSTITUTION: Lands 4, 5 insulated with each other and a conductive elastic capsule 6 in contact with the land 4 and covering an upper part of the land 5 are formed on a broadcast 1 as a switch I. A generator 9 is connected to the switch I and a high frequency signal is applied to the switch I. The switch I is connected to a circuit that measures a change in a high frequency signal and the proximity of a conductor is detected by the change in the high frequency signal. Thus, a conventional key pad or a touch enable pad is used for a matrix type key board. |

PURPOSE: To facilitate the operation and to realize the reduction of weights and assembly processes by molding the cover of key top surface in curvature shape by molding the upper cover as monobloc so that the stem guides pitch to radial direction.
CONSTITUTION: In the molding of case, a fixed metal pattern 82 is molded so that it accords with the upper surface of an upper case 12, while a movable metal pattern 84 is molded so that it accords with the rear surface of the case 12. Also a sliding metal pattern 86 is placed on the metal pattern 84 so that it can move towards radial direction to mold supporting holes on a stem guide 30. In the situation that this metal pattern 86 is advanced towards the radial direction, the metal patterns 82 and 84 are matched together, and melted resin is injected inside the patterns 82 and 84 through a spool 88 of the pattern 82. By this process, a key disposition board 26 is molded with curve so that an envelope 50 can maintain specified curvature rate, and at the same time the guide 30 is molded with a pitch towards the radial direction. By these process, the covering surface 50 of each top surface of a key operational part material 42 is easily molded in curved shape, facilitating the operation and reducing volume and assembly process.
