Abstract
The variable hand switch has a switch body (40) formed of a resin molded body for providing elasticity, and the switch body (40) includes a base portion (41), a first pressing area member (42) formed at a tip end of the base portion (41) and bent upward in a U-shape from the base portion (41), and a first hanging wall (43) as a movable wall extending from the first pressing area member (42) toward the side of the base portion (41) (to the pressing direction). Opposite to one surface of the first hanging wall (43), an optical cable (30A) is fixedly arranged. This arrangement provides a variable hand switch having a structure capable of transmitting accurate control information to the body of an apparatus.
Claims13
A variable hand switch applied to chemical injection control of an injector head for injecting a chemical to a patient, controlling an amount of light emitted from light projecting means, receiving the light with the amount changed, by light receiving means, and transmitting information of the received light to a body of the injector head apparatus, comprising:
- a wall arranged opposite to said light projecting means and said light receiving means;
- and
- a light amount changing area provided on said wall for changing the amount of light projected from said light projecting means, in accordance with relative movement between said wall and said light projecting means and said light receiving means.
A variable hand switch applied to chemical injection control of an injector head for injecting a chemical to a patient, controlling reflectance of light emitted from light projecting and receiving means and transmitting change in reflectance to a body of the injector head apparatus, comprising:
- a movable wall provided continuously movable between a first position and a second position, and arranged opposite to said light projecting and receiving means;
- and
- a light reflecting area provided on a surface of said movable wall facing said light projecting and receiving means having at least two areas providing different reflectance of light projected from said light projecting and receiving means, along with movement of said movable wall.
A variable hand switch applied to chemical injection control of an injector head for injecting a chemical to a patient, controlling an amount of light emitted from light projecting means, receiving the light with the amount changed, by light receiving means, and transmitting information of the received light to a body of an apparatus the injector head apparatus, comprising:
- a movable wall provided continuously movable between a first position and a second position, and arranged between and opposite to said light projecting means and said light receiving means;
- and
- a light transmittance changing area for changing amount of transmittance of light projected from said light projecting means along with the movement of said movable wall.
