Abstract

A connector includes a fixed contact, a movable contact that contacts with the fixed contact, a slide, a contact slide operated in association with a movement of the slide, a button that is pushed in accordance with the movement of the slide, the button including a lower portion, an upper portion, and a slant portion connecting the lower portion to an upper stage, and a card that moves the movable contact toward and away from the fixed contact in accordance with the movement of the button, wherein the contact slide contacts with the lower portion when the switch is in a turn-off state, contacts with the slant portion so as to push the button and cause the card to move the movable contact toward the fixed contact when the slide slides in one direction, and contacts with the upper portion when the switch is in a turn-on state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A connector comprising:
a connection terminal to be connected to another connection terminal of another connector; a fixed contact; a movable contact being capable of contacting the fixed contact; a slide portion; a contact slide operated in association with a slide movement of the slide portion; a button that is pushed in accordance with the slide movement of the slide portion, the button including a lower portion, an upper portion having a profile relatively higher than the lower portion, and a slant portion connecting the lower portion to an upper stage provided on its upper surface; and a card that moves the movable contact toward and away from the fixed contact in accordance with the movement of the button; wherein a tip end of the contact slide contacts with the lower portion when the switch is in a turn-off state in which the movable contact is separated from the fixed contact, contacts with the slant portion so as to push the button and cause the card to move the movable contact toward the fixed contact when the slide portion is slide in one direction, and contacts with the upper portion when the switch is in a turn-on state in which the movable contact contacts with the fixed contact.

2 . The connector according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a slide linking portion that is operated in association with the slide movement of the slide portion, a part of the slide linking portion comes in contact with the contact slide, wherein, by sliding the slide portion, the slide linking portion moves substantially in parallel to a direction of sliding the slide portion, and when the contact slide is pushed by the slide linking portion, the contact slide moves substantially in parallel to the direction of sliding the slide portion.

3 . A connector comprising:
a switch case; a base block; a connection terminal to be connected to another connection terminal of another connector; a fixed contact located inside a region surrounded by the switch case and the base block; a movable contact located inside the region surrounded by the switch case and the base block, and being capable of contacting the fixed contact; a slide portion; a button that is pushed down in accordance with a slide movement of the slide portion; a card connected to the base block so as to be rotatable relative to the base block and is operated in accordance with the movement of the button; and a spring located outside the switch case, connected to the button and biasing the button to a direction of separating a contact between the fixed contact and the movable contact, wherein the button is pushed down and the card moves to cause the movable contact to contact the fixed contact when the slide portion is moved in one direction, and the button is moved by the spring and the card moves to cause the movable contact to be separated from the fixed contact when the slide portion moves in another direction opposite to the one direction.

4 . A switch comprising:
a case; a base block; a fixed contact located inside a region surrounded by the case and the base block; a movable contact located inside the region surrounded by the case and the base block and being capable of contacting the fixed contact; a button that can be pushed down; a card connected to the base block so as to be rotatable relative to the base block and is operated in accordance with the movement of the button so as to move the movable contact toward and away from the fixed contact; and a spring connected to the button and biasing the button to a direction to move the card to separate the movable contact from the fixed contact, wherein the card moves to cause the movable contact to contact the fixed contact when the button is pushed down.
