Abstract

A remote control signal transmitter. A movable contact section includes a plurality of movable contacts and has elasticity. A wiring substrate has a movable contact section thereon. A crystal oscillator is mounted on the wiring substrate. A control section transmits a remote control signal in accordance with an operation of the movable contact section. In this structure, the movable contact section has a holding section that is abutted with the crystal oscillator.

Claims

1. A remote control signal transmitter, comprising:

a movable contact section including a plurality of movable contacts and having elasticity;

a wiring substrate at which the movable contact section is provided;

a crystal oscillator mounted on the wiring substrate; and

a controller for transmitting a remote control signal in accodance with an operation of the movable contact section,

wherein the movable contact section includes a holding section that is abutted with the crystal oscillator.

2. The remote control transmitter according to claim 1, further comprising:

a case for housing the movable contact section and the wiring substrate,

wherein the case includes a protruded section that depresses the holding section of the movable contact section.

3. The remote control transmitter according to claim 1,

wherein the holding section is integrated with the movable contact section.

4. The remote control transmitter according to claim 3, further comprising:

a case for housing the movable contact section and the wiring substrate,

wherein the case includes a protruded section that depresses the holding section of the movable contact section.

5. The remote control transmitter according to claim 1,

wherein the holding section has an groove-like inner face and at least a part of the inner face is abutted with the crystal oscillator.

6. The remote control transmitter according to claim 5,

wherein the holding section is integrated with the movable contact section.

7. The remote control transmitter according to claim 5 further comprising:

a case for housing the movable contact section and the wiring substrate,

wherein the case includes a protruded section that depresses the holding section of the movable contact section.
