Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a starter switch and an engine stop switch (hereinafter referred to as a kill switch) for motorcycles, etc. The invention allows the operation of the two switches to be performed with a single operating lever, and also enables the kill switch to be operated by a single operating lever. This feature is characterized in that the starter switch cannot be operated when the starter switch is in operation.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a switch case of a bar handle grip of a motorcycle or the like has been provided with a starter switch and a kill switch independently. This kill switch has traditionally been installed separately from the main switch as a safety measure to stop the engine in an emergency.
Many people forget to turn the kill switch back on after operating it, and operate the starter switch without making sure that the engine remains stopped.
The problem occurred when the driver did not immediately notice that the kill switch was working even when the engine was not running, looked at other switches, or repeated the same operation over and over again.

This invention was devised to improve this point, and allows the starter switch and kill switch to be operated using one operating lever, and when the kill switch is working, you can tell at a glance by looking at the operating lever. At the same time, the starter switch cannot be pressed.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 is the lower half of the split switch casing,
A screw seat 2 is provided at the center, and parallel side walls 3 of a constant width are provided ahead of the screw seat 2, and an arcuate wall 4 centered on the screw seat is provided at the end of the side wall near the center.
4 is formed almost in a V-shape. A push-type starter switch 9 is provided between the parallel side walls 3, 3, and includes a fixed contact 6 fixed by an insulator 5 and a movable contact 8 provided via a trapezoidal coid spring 7. On the center line connecting the center of 3, 3 and the screw seat, there is an actuating head 10 whose tip has the same width as the interval between the side walls 3, 3 and whose tip surface is the same as the arc of the arc walls 4, 4. An operating lever 11 is provided with one end thereof extending to the outside of the casing. This control lever 11 has a long hole 12 along the axis of the control lever in the center of the operating head 10, and a long hole 13 in the middle part of the control lever located inside the casing.
The outer end is provided with a knob 14.

The elongated hole 12 of the operation lever operating head is rotatably fixed to the screw seat 2 of the casing by a screw 16 equipped with a washer 15.
The long hole 13 in the middle part of the operating lever has a casing 1
A pin 19 for operating the roller 18 of the sliding kill switch 17 assembled in the lower half of the
is fitted in a slidable manner, and normally the movable contact 8 is moved by the trapezoidal coil spring of the starter switch 9.
As shown in FIG. 1, the operating lever is pushed down rearward through the lever, and in this state, the arc of the tip of the operating head of the operating lever coincides with the arc of the arcuate walls 4, 4.

20 is a fixed contact of the kill switch, 21 is a movable contact of the kill switch, 22 is an action spring, and 23 is an action ball.

Since the handle switch according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, when starting the starter switch 9 in FIG. The starter moves forward using the starter switch as a guide, pushes the movable contact 8 of the starter switch 9, and contacts the fixed contact 6, thereby closing the circuit of the starter switch.
After that, if you release your hand, the operating lever 11 returns to its original position.

Next, if you want to operate the kill switch 17 in an emergency, move the knob 14 of the operating lever to the left or right, and the elongated hole 13 will move the roller of the kill switch via the pin 19, closing the kill switch. do. In this case, since an action (not shown) is formed on the roller 18 or the operating lever, the operating lever will not automatically return to its original position from the position indicated by the chain line when it was activated, even if the operator releases his/her hand.
Therefore, even if you try to operate the starter switch 9 by pressing the knob on the control lever in this state, the tip of the operating head touches the arcuate walls 4, 4, and movement in the axial direction is restricted, so the control lever cannot be returned to its original center. The starter switch cannot be operated unless it is returned to the line.

In this way, the present invention is configured so that the starter switch cannot be pressed when the kill switch is closed, and since this state can be confirmed at a glance by the tilted position of the lever, it is difficult to press the starter switch when operating the starter switch. This has the advantage that forgetting to return the kill switch can be detected immediately and smooth startup is possible.
