Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
52 words
A push-button switch comprising: a switch base formed into at least two divisions, and at least two switch mechanisms each mounted on the respective division of the switch base and having terminals consisting of one circuit of the switch mechanism, said terminals being molded in insertion within the division of the switch.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
52 words
A push-button switch comprising: a switch base formed into at least two divisions, and at least two switch mechanisms each mounted on the respective division of the switch base and having terminals consisting of one circuit of the switch mechanism, said terminals being molded in insertion within the division of the switch.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
The push-button switch as defined in Claim 1, wherein said switch base comprises a plurality of division switch bases each provided on the top face thereof with a projecting portion for use in connection with the other division switch base, a couple of the division switch bases being integrally connected through the respective projecting portions facing each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
69 words
The push-button switch as defined in Claim 1, further comprising a housing for retaining the switch base therein and provided with an opening for an engagement, said switch base being provided on the top face thereof with a projecting portion having a pawl to be engaged within the opening of the housing, the switch base and housing being coupled together through the engagement of the pawl and the opening.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
55 words
The push-button switch as defined in Claim 1, wherein said housing is formed of portal type and provided with a regulating piece disposed between the legs of the portal housing for serving as a reinforcing member for regulating the oscillation of a coil spring provided within the switch mechanism in contact with the coil spring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
68 words
A push-button switch comprising: a switch mechanism provided with a push-button to be depressed for turning on and off the switch mechanism, a switch base for mounting the switch mechanism thereon, and a housing for retaining the switch base with the switch mechanism therein in such a manner that the switch base and housing are temporarily assembled with each other in order to engage integrally as one unit.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
68 words
A push-button switch comprising: a switch mechanism provided with a push-button to be depressed for turning on and off the switch mechanism, a switch base for mounting the switch mechanism thereon, and a housing for retaining the switch base with the switch mechanism therein in such a manner that the switch base and housing are temporarily assembled with each other in order to engage integrally as one unit.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
The push-button switch as defined in Claim 5, wherein said switch mechanism includes a pair of springs for restoring the push-button to the original position and disposed at two positions opposite on the periphery of the push button.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
55 words
The push-button switch as defined in Claim 6, wherein said switch mechanism further includes a pair of guide members disposed at two positions opposite on the periphery of the push-button for guiding the push-button in its axial direction, said restoring springs being provided at the opposite positions in the peripheral direction of the push button.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
61 words
The push-button switch as defined in Claim 5, wherein said switch mechanism further includes an operating member provided vertically on said push-button for operating the switch mechanism through the depressing operation of the push-button, said operating member being formed with an opening window which slidingly guides a cam of an alternate mechanism to be provided in association with the switch mechanism.
