Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of a multi-switch that is attached to the handlebar of a motorcycle.The shape and structure of the operation knob are new, and the position of the operation knob is concentrated on one surface. It is characterized by:

In conventional multi-switches of this type, the horn switch button is placed in the center of the flat surface of the switch case, and the two knobs for operating the flasher and dimer switch rollers protrude from the side of the switch case. It was common for the knob to be operated along the section. In this conventional type of switch, the horn button and the operating knobs for both the flasher and dimer switches are located on the top and side surfaces and are a little far apart, making them difficult to operate.

The present invention concentrates the operation knobs of these three switches on one side of the switch case to make them easier to operate, and also moves the operation knobs using the central shaft as a fulcrum, and uses a roller installed in the middle of this lever. The structure was simplified by eliminating the central shaft and making the operating knob and roller integrally molded, whereas the switch was operated by moving the switch.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. A casing 1 is attached to the handle pipe, and has a relatively large opening 2 in the center of the upper surface. Reference numeral 3 denotes a disc-shaped terminal plate made of an insulator, with a hole 4 provided in the center, and a contact 5 for a flasher switch on one side of the terminal plate and a contact point 5 for a dimmer switch on the other side. A contact point 6 is provided. Note that 7 is a hole for mounting the fixed contact 8 of the horn switch.

As shown in FIG. 3, the fixed contact 8 of the horn switch has a rivet 11 provided at the upper center of an insulator 10 with mounting plates 9 projecting out on both sides. Although the fixed contact of this horn switch is formed separately from the terminal plate 3, the fixed contact may be directly attached to the center of the terminal plate. Reference numeral 12 denotes a cylindrical horn button, and a movable terminal 13 is provided at the bottom of the button, and the fixed contact 8 is connected via a coil spring 14.
installed at the top of the

15 is a flasher operation knob integrally molded from synthetic resin, with a circular hole 1 in the center through which the horn button passes.
A roller 19 is provided at the bottom of a disk 18 having a fan-shaped hole 17 in a part of the periphery of the hole, and a lever 20 is provided at the top of the disk. The roller 19 is provided with a small hole 21 and shoulders 22, 22 sandwiching the small hole 21, and a movable contact 2 is attached to the lower surface of the small hole through a ball 23 and a spring 24.
5 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 2, this operation knob 15 is assembled by passing a horn button through a circular hole 16 in the center, positioning a roller 19 inside the casing, and installing the disc 18 so that it touches the top surface of the casing. is incorporated so as to rotate using the outer peripheral surface of the horn button 12 as a guide. Reference numeral 26 denotes a dimer operating knob integrally molded from synthetic resin, and a roller 29 is provided at the bottom of a semicircular plate 28 which has a semicircular notch 27 in the center into which the horn button fits, and a roller 29 is provided at the top of the semicircular plate. has a lever 30. The roller 29 has small holes 3 as described above.
1 and shoulders 32, 32 are provided on both sides thereof, and a movable contact 35 is provided on the lower surface of this small hole via a ball 33 and a spring 34.

This operation knob is rotated a certain distance using the outer periphery of the horn button and the casing opening 2 as a guide, with the roller 29 inserted into the fan-shaped hole 17 of the disk and the semi-circular plate 28 blocking the fan-shaped hole. Incorporated.

When assembling the multi-switch according to the present invention, first the roller 19 of the flasher operating knob 15 is fitted into the opening 2 of the casing, and then the roller 29 of the dammer operating knob 26 is fitted into the interior through the fan-shaped hole 17. Insert the horn button 12 into the central circular hole 16 of the knob from the back side, then fit each ball, spring movable contact, etc., and then fit the terminal plate 3 in which the fixed contact 8 of the horn switch is pre-assembled and fix it in the casing. It is something to do.

Due to the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the three switch operation knobs for the horn flasher and the daimer can be centrally arranged on the top surface of the casing, which improves operability and allows the shaft that serves as the fulcrum for the rotation of each operation knob to be In addition, since the operation knob and roller are integrally formed, the number of parts is reduced, the structure is simplified, the cost is low, and industrial applicability is high.
