Illumination-type small-sized switch

Claim 2

An illumination-type small-sized switch which comprises a switch case containing therein switch contacts; an actuator rockably positioned above said switch case; a light emitter disposed under said actuator for illuminating the same; and an insulating plate placed on the upper surface of said switch case for supporting said light emitter, said insulating plate having a circular opening and being formed on its upper surface with a resilient cylinder-shaped rising piece surrounding said opening, and said light emitter being fitted into said rising piece.

Claim 3

A switch as defined in claim 1, in which said rising piece is provided on its side surface with a fold.

Claim 4

A switch as defined in claim 1, in which said rising piece is provided on its side surface with a split.

Claim 5

A switch as defined in claim 1, in which said actuator is made of opaque material and has a window which is closed by a light-transmitting member detachably fitted thereon.

Claim 6

An illumination-type small-sized switch comprising a switch case containing therein switch contacts; an actuator rockably positioned above said switch case; a light-emitter disposed under said actuator for illuminating said actuator; lead wires from a source of electrical current to said light emitter; an insulating plate placed on the upper surface of said switch case and formed on its upper surface with a resilient rising piece which has a vertically penetrating bore, said light-emitter being fitted into said bore and the lead wire of said light-emitter being conducted out downwardly from said insulating plate.

Claim 7

An illumination-type small-sized switch comprising a switch case containing therein switch contacts; an actuator rockably positioned above said switch case; a light-emitter disposed under said actuator for illuminating said actuator; lead wires from a source of electrical current to said light emitter; an insulating plate placed on the upper surface of said switch case and formed on its upper surface with a resilient rising piece which has a vertically penetrating bore, said light-emitter being fitted into said bore and the lead wire of said light-emitter being conducted out downwardly from said insulating plate.

Claim 8

An illumination-type small-sized switch comprising a switch case containing therein contacts; an actuator rockably positioned above said switch case; a light emitter disposed under said actuator for illuminating the same; an insulating plate placed on the upper surface of said switch case for supporting said light-emitter by fitting the same into a hole of said plate; a leg piece projecting on the lower surface of said insulating plate adjacent said hole, the lead wire of said light-emitter being placed along the surface of said leg piece; and a conductor piece mounted on the switch case, the end portion of said lead wire being resiliently in contact with said conductor piece.

Claim 9

An illumination-type small-sized switch comprising a switch case containing therein contacts; an actuator rockably positioned above said switch case; a light emitter disposed under said actuator for illuminating the same; an insulating plate placed on the upper surface of said switch case for supporting said light-emitter by fitting the same into a hole of said plate; a leg piece projecting on the lower surface of said insulating plate adjacent said hole, the lead wire of said light-emitter being placed along the surface of said leg piece; and a conductor piece mounted on the switch case, the end portion of said lead wire being resiliently in contact with said conductor piece.

Claim 10

A switch as defined in claim 6, in which said leg piece has along its length a groove for guiding the lead wire of said light emitter.

Claim 11

A switch as defined in claim 6, in which said conductor piece is secured to the switch case together with a member for bearing a movable contact piece of the switch.
