Abstract
A pressing switch mechanism includes a housing, a board that is accommodated in the housing, a switch portion that is fixed to the board and generates a click feeling according to pressing a pressed portion in a direction approaching the board, and an operation plate which includes a bowl-shaped recessed surface that is recessed from a surface of the housing, of which an outer peripheral edge is supported by the housing, which is displaceably bent in the direction approaching the board, and in which a bottom wall portion of the recessed surface protruding inward the housing is in contact with the pressed portion.
Claims16
A wearable camera comprising:
- a housing;
- a board disposed in the housing;
- a capture that is disposed on a front surface of the housing and, which, in operation, images an object;
- a recording switch that is disposed on the front surface of the housing and, which, in operation, receives an imaging start operation from a user;
- a space having a predetermined volume provided between the board and the recording switch;
- and
- a switch portion fixed to the board that starts recording of the capture by the imaging start operation of the recording switch,
- wherein when the imaging start operation is input, the recording switch propagates a click sound and a click vibration of the switch portion, and the recording switch vibrates.
A wearable camera comprising:
- a housing;
- a housing back lid;
- a board disposed in the housing and is fixed in a sandwiched state between the housing and the housing back lid;
- a capture that is disposed on a front surface of the housing and images an object;
- a recording switch that is disposed on the front surface of the housing and, which, in operation, receives an imaging start operation from a user;
- and
- a switch portion fixed to the board that starts recording of the capture by the imaging start operation of the recording switch, the switch portion is fixed to the board at a position facing a bottom wall portion of a recessed surface of the recording switch of the board,
- wherein when the imaging start operation is input, the recording switch propagates a click sound and a click vibration of the switch portion, and the recording switch vibrates.
A wearable camera comprising:
- a housing;
- a board that is disposed in the housing;
- a capture that is disposed on a front surface of the housing and images an object;
- a recording switch that is disposed on the front surface of the housing and, which, in operation, receives an imaging start operation from a user, the recording switch includes an outer peripheral edge, a flange portion, and an annular ring thick portion in a vicinity of the outer peripheral edge;
- and
- a switch portion fixed to the board that starts recording of the capture by the imaging start operation of the recording switch,
- wherein when the imaging start operation is input, the recording switch propagates a click sound and a click vibration of the switch portion, and vibrates,
- wherein when the recording switch is pressed down, the annular ring thick portion is elastically deformed with respect to the flange portion and the recording switch approaches the board.
