| An operation device includes three contact circuits each including fixed terminals and a slider as a movable contact for selectively changing a state between the fixed terminals to an ON/OFF state, a determination unit to which the contact circuits are connected, and an operation signal generation unit that outputs a signal indicating that an operation unit is in a state of ON operation. In response to an ON operation, the slider moves from an initial position where all contact circuits are in an OFF state to an end position where all contact circuits are turned on. Assuming that one of the contact circuits is a reference contact circuit and the others are output contact circuits, the reference contact circuit is provided such that a distance from the initial position to a position where the reference contact circuit is turned on is smaller than that for the output contact circuits. | ||||||

| 37 | Rotary switch | US301783 | 1989-01-25 | US4897513A | 1990-01-30 | Tsumoru Oka; Mituaki Shinraku |
| A rotary switch has a synthetic resin substrate on the surface of which a plurality of fixed contacts are arranged in a concentric fashion, and a holder rotatable over the expanse of the substrate, including the fixed contacts. A conductor plate supported to the holder is formed with swelled contacts which act as movable contacts. A rib is positioned so that the conductor plate contacts the rib when the switch is in the off position, thereby lifting the movable contacts from the surface of the substrate. A substantially hour glass shaped slit is used to separate and insulate the fixed contacts. The wide portions of the slit act as reservoirs for conductive wearing powder, thereby delaying a short circuit due to wearing powder accumulation. Thus, the switch alleviates wear of the movable contacts and enhances switching accuracy. | ||||||
