Electric part with illumination having an illuminating member movable integrally with an operating member and being superior in assembleability

Abstract

In order to provide an electric part with illumination in which unevenness of illumination is eliminated, the illumination efficiency is improved, and good assembleability is achieved, an illumination member (11) is retained on a base (10), and the base is retained by an operating member (6) and a movable contact (12) for electrically connecting an electrode on the illuminating member (11) and a power feed pattern (15a) is retained on the operating member (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an illuminated electrical component, and relates to an illuminated electrical component capable of guiding light emitted by an illuminating part to illuminate an operating part. Background technique [0002] In the past, as an electric component with lighting used in vehicles, etc., the structures of Patent Document 1 (hereinafter referred to as a prior art example) and Patent Document 2 (hereinafter referred to as another prior art example) are well known. example in Figure 12 to Figure 15 , another prior art example is shown in Figure 16 middle. [0003] First, the prior art example is described, in Figure 12 to Figure 15 Among them, 200 is the upper shell in the shell, and 210 is the lower shell (or bracket) in the shell. The terminal 212 is fixed on the intermediate partition 211 in the lower housing 210 , and the light source 220 is detachably installed on the intermediate partition 211 . [0004] 230 is an i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0020] In this prior art example, since the entire sliding area of ​​the sliding body 300 for 2 directions is illuminated, it is necessary to illuminate the redundant place, which is inefficient, and the sliding body 300 for 2 directions moves in the center, left and right positions, so it is necessary to The distance of the light source 220 changes, causing the problem of uneven illumination

[0021] In addition, the contacts 370 of the two-way switch are housed in the housing portion 302 formed on the lower surface of the slider 300 in a state where four coil springs 371, two plate contacts 372, and four ball contacts 373 are dispersed. poor assembly

[0022] And in the slide-type electrical component of another prior art example, although the above-mentioned problem does not exist because the illuminating part 500 is held in the operating part 501 and connected with the power supply pattern provided in the frame (fixed part), In this other prior art example, since the lighting unit 500 is embedded in the upper part of the operation unit 501, the cost increases, and when assembling the LED as the lighting unit 500, since the LED is inserted into the operation unit 501, there is a problem of poor workability. question
