Remote controller

Abstract

The invention provides a remote controller which can prevent a discordant rattle noise and an operation sound of a button from being generated without deteriorating operability of the button. In a remote controller provided with a board mounting a circuit transmitting a signal for operating an electronic apparatus by remote control, and a tact switch thereon, a button pressing the switch so as to actuate, and a case storing the board and the switch in an inner portion and holding the button so as to freely operate by pressing, the button is provided with a pressing portion, an arm portion and a flange portion, the case is provided with a support portion supporting the arm portion so as to be rotatable vertically to the board, and a hook portion having an elastic force which is weaker than an elastic force of the switch, the arm portion is rotatably supported by the support portion, the pressing portion is supported by the switch from the board side, the flange portion is supported by the hook portion from the case side, and the button is made immovable in a state of swing by a pressing operation so as to be held.

Claims

1. A remote controller comprising: a plurality of operating buttons operating an electronic apparatus by remote control;a circuit transmitting a signal corresponding to each of the operating buttons;a light lighting each of the operating buttons;a tact switch actuating said light;a lighting button pressing said tact switch so as to turn on said light;a board mounting said circuit, said light and said tact switch thereon;a case storing said board in an inner portion and holding said operating button and said lighting button so as to protrude to an outer portion in such a manner as to be operable by pressing; and

2. A remote controller comprising: a circuit transmitting a signal for operating an electronic apparatus by remote control;a press-in type switch;a board mounting said circuit and said switch thereon;a button pressing said switch so as to actuate; anda case storing said board and said switch in an inner portion and holding said button so as to freely press to operate, wherein said case is provided with a support portion supporting said button so as to be movable in a direction moving close to said board or a direction moving away from the board, and an elastic portion having an elastic force which is weaker than an elastic force of said switch, and

3. A remote controller as claimed in claim 2, wherein said support portion and said elastic portion are integrally provided in said case.

4. A remote controller as claimed in claim 2 or 3, wherein said switch is arranged at a position of said board facing to said button, a pressing portion pressing said switch is provided in a center portion of said button, a first protruding portion protruding to an opposite side to said switch is provided in one end portion of said button, and a second protruding portion protruding to an opposite side to said first protruding portion and said switch is provided in the other end portion in an opposite side to the one end portion of said button,

5. A remote controller as claimed in claim 4, wherein said pressing portion, said first support portion and said second support portion are integrally provided in said button.
