換えは可能である。 Figure 1 shows the configuration of a conventional pushbutton switch that operates multiple fixed contacts on an insulating substrate with a single pushbutton. An elastic rubber sheet 4 having a movable part 3 pushed out so as to protrude upward is disposed in a portion corresponding to 2, and a movable contact 5 that comes into contact with and separates from the fixed contact 2 is provided on the inner surface of the movable part 3. Then, it fits into the window hole 7 of the case 6 connected to the insulating substrate 1 on the upper surface of the movable part 3,
The center portion of the lower surface is supported by the protrusion 8 of the elastic rubber sheet 4, and one push button 10 is arranged to operate each switch portion 9 consisting of the fixed contact 2 and the movable contact 5 by tilting it. Fig. 2 shows a printed circuit board on which the fixed contacts 2a to 2d used in this pushbutton switch are arranged, and the parallel direction of the two fixed contacts 2 is in the same direction, that is, C-D shown in Fig. 2. facing the direction. By tilting the push button 10, the movable contact 3 comes into contact with the fixed contacts 2a to 2d and conducts, thereby switching the switch.
Figures 3 and 4 respectively show A-
The fixed contacts 2a to 2d and the movable contact 5 when the push button 10 is tilted in the directions B and C-D.
This shows the state of contact. The operating state of the push button 10 shown in FIG. 3, that is, the push button 10
When pressed in the direction A-B, only the fixed contact 2a or 2b shown in FIG. 2 becomes conductive, and switching is possible.

このことによつて誤動作を起すという大きな問題
が起つていた。 In this case, the movable contact 5 may come into contact with the fixed contacts 2c, 2d due to the force of pressing the push button 10, but the push button 10 is supported by the protrusion 8, and the fixed contacts 2c, 2d are Parallel direction is A-
By facing in the C-D direction perpendicular to the B direction, the movable contact 5 can contact only one of the fixed contacts 2c and 2d, thereby preventing unnecessary conduction between the fixed contacts 2c and 2d. However, in the operating state of the pushbutton 10 shown in FIG. 4, that is, when the pushbutton 10 is pushed in the C-D direction, in addition to the fixed contact 2c or 2d that should be made conductive, the fixed contact 2a, which should not be made conductive, is and 2b also become conductive at the same time. That is, the movable contact 5 comes into contact with the two fixed contacts 2a and 2b due to the force of pressing the push button 10.
This has caused a serious problem of malfunction.

導通する。DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIG. 5 shows the arrangement of fixed contacts on an insulating substrate of a pushbutton switch according to an embodiment of the present invention.The switch configuration other than the insulating substrate is the same as that of the conventional example shown in FIG. It is something. Figures 6 and 7 show the fixed contacts 11a to 11 when the push button is tilted in the directions A-B and CD shown in Figure 5, respectively.
3 shows the contact state between b and the movable contact 5.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, no matter which direction the push button 10 is tilted in the directions A, B, C, or D, the movable contacts 5 are connected to only two of the movable contacts 11a to 11d that do not require electrical conduction. The fixed contacts 11a to 11d are electrically conductive because they do not touch each other.
There is only one fixed contact 11a for direction A shown in FIG. 5, only fixed contact 11b for direction B, and fixed contact 11c for direction C.
Only the fixed contact 11d is electrically connected in the D direction.

By arranging the parallel fixed contacts so that the parallel direction faces almost the center of the pushbutton, only one fixed contact in the direction in which the pushbutton is tilted can be made conductive, thereby preventing malfunctions. Because there is no such thing, its practical effects are great.
