Abstract

PURPOSE: To make a switch small and simple without use of an auxiliary power source by opening or closing a contact by laterally turning or lifting the whole switch in the mercury switch or the contact switch with returning force. CONSTITUTION: In a rod-shaped spring contact switch vertically standing, at ordinary times, by the dead load of the whole including the switch itself and the surface pressure of a grounded part, a cylinder spring 7 is compressed, and a contact 6 of the switch is opened. When the whole switch is laterally turned or lifted, the contact 6 is closed by the spring 7, and current flowing from a screw cap 13 in the bottom of a cylinder case flows into the contact 6, the spring 7, washers 8, 9, a conical spring 10, and a battery 2 in order, and an electrical circuit is formed. A seismic scale by which the switch is laterally turned when earthquake arises is adjusted by selecting the grounding dimension or the shape of the base 12.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric switch which automatically detects and activates the occurrence of an earthquake with a seismic intensity of about 3 to about 7 (a vase falls when the seismic intensity is about 4 or more), and This is a field related to portable battery equipment (indicating portable lighting equipment, televisions, and radios) for disaster prevention (earthquake evacuation) and welfare for the aged or disabled.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional seismic switches have drawbacks such as an auxiliary power supply and a complicated mechanism. Also, an earthquake occurrence is automatically detected by using the weight of the earth and the surface pressure (pressing) of the grounding part. There was no portable lighting equipment, portable TV, portable radio, etc.

[0003]

The conventional seismic sensing device requires an auxiliary power source, the mechanism is more complicated than the invention of the present application, and it takes time to handle, it takes time to restore, it is inconvenient to carry, and it is used by kindergarten children. There were some drawbacks such as difficulty in doing so. Since the inventions of claims 1 and 2 of the present application are simple and compact, these drawbacks can be solved, and they can be easily placed next to a living room of a house, a TV, a radio, etc. in a bedroom, and fall or roll. Used as a switch that automatically detects the occurrence of an earthquake and activates TVs, radios, etc. Also, claim 3, claim 4, claim 5, claim 6 is a portable type that can be easily placed on the bedside of the living room or bedroom with one hand, and automatically detects the occurrence of an earthquake by falling or rolling. It develops battery equipment (showing lighting equipment, TV, and radio) and uses the lessons learned from the Great Kobe-Awaji Earthquake as a lesson to help even one person's life or injury. Alternatively, the present invention intends to develop a portable battery device for the elderly or welfare that operates only by lifting.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, in a mercury switch or a contact switch having a restoring force (spring, sponge, etc.), in normal times, the total weight including the switch itself and the surface pressure of the ground portion are set. It is characterized by compressing the restoring force to open (close) the contact of the switch and then closing (opening) the switch contact by using the restoring force by rolling or lifting the entire switch. Automatically operated electric switch using gravity. According to the second aspect, the contact pressure of the switch is opened (closed) by the surface pressure (pressure) of a load heavier than the restoring force of the spring, and the surface pressure (pressure) is released by rolling or lifting the switch. Actuating an electrical switch to claim 3, claim 4, claim 5, claim 6.
With regard to, the portable light fixture and the image or voice actuating device are operated.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the mercury switch is used, and the contact point of the switch is opened (closed) by the surface pressure (pressure) of a load heavier than the restoring force of the sponge or the spring, and the switch is rolled over. Or surface pressure (press) by lifting
To activate the electrical switch, which is installed vertically on the bottom of the rod or on the circumference of a sphere or cylinder so that an earthquake can be detected automatically. To be done. During normal times, the switch contacts are opened (closed) due to the total weight of the switch itself and the surface pressure (pressing) of the grounding part, and the switch contacts are closed (open) by rolling or lifting the switch. With respect to claim 2, claim 3, claim 4, claim 5, and claim 6, in a contact switch with a spring, the normal weight of the entire switch including the switch itself and the surface pressure of the ground portion are used in normal times. Then, the contact of the switch is opened (closed) by compressing the spring, and the switch contact is closed (open) by utilizing the restoring force of the spring by rolling or lifting the entire switch. FIG.
Shows an example of the automatic operation electric switch of the present application, in which the contact of the switch is closed by lifting,
Electricity flows from the screw cap at the bottom of the cylindrical case to the contact (6), cylindrical spring (7), washer A.
(8), washer B (9), conical spring (10), and then the battery. In addition, the sensitivity of the magnitude of the seismic intensity of the sensing unit can be adjusted by arbitrarily selecting the ground contact area (attaching an attachment, etc.). Claim 6 has an existing switch mechanism and claim 2, and is a portable battery device (a portable lighting device (including a TV or a built-in product such as a radio)), a portable video or a portable audio device. Since it is a generator (radio etc.), it can be blinked using existing switches when held by hand.

As for the portable lighting device according to claim 1 or 2, the surroundings become bright and the situation can be judged even at night or in the event of a power failure due to an earthquake. At night,
Even if you put it on your bedside and roll it far away in the event of an earthquake, it will light up, so you can immediately know where this lighting fixture is. Since it lights up just by lifting it up, the non-lighting due to emotional panic does not occur and you can immediately move on to the next action.
Further, it can be used as a portable lighting device for the welfare of the elderly whose switch is activated by lifting. With respect to the image or sound generating actuating device using claim 1 or claim 2, even if there is a power failure due to an earthquake at night, if it falls, the switch is turned on and the alarm and information can be obtained. Even if you put it on your bedside at night and roll it far away due to an earthquake, the location of this device can be immediately identified by the sound. They also serve as a rescue sign with light or sound in the dark when they are buried by an earthquake. Furthermore, when the automatic operation electric switch is turned on, claim 6 can be turned on and off by the existing switch mechanism like the conventional portable battery device, and the evaluation of the disaster prevention section of the municipality with a handmade sample is also possible. It was expected to be mass produced. The product's nickname should be XXXXXXXX to promote its popularity.
