Disclosed herein is an attachment/detachment mechanism for an electronics unit mounted on a casing in an attachable/detachable manner, including: a position-keeping type switch switching between first and second states of the electronics unit; a lever switching between a securing state where the electronics unit is secured to the casing and an attachable/detachable state where the electronics unit is made attachable/detachable to/from the casing; a first restricting member switching between a restricting state where state-switching of the lever is restricted and a permitting state where the state-switching of the lever is permitted; and a second restricting member traveling between a first position where the state-switching of the first restricting member is restricted and the state-switching of the position-keeping type switch is permitted, and a second position where the state-switching of the first restricting member is permitted and the state-switching of the position-keeping type switch from the first state to the second state is restricted.

Attachment/detachment mechanism for electronics unit, electronics unit, power supply unit, and electronics apparatus

The present invention is directed to a video signal switching apparatus having editing function to select an arbitrary video signal from plural video signals or carry out synthesis thereof, which allows an operation unit to be of modular configuration every respective functions to electrically connect adjacent modules of panel modules (A toD) which serve as respective operation modules to each other by relay bases (), () to carry out transmission of signals between both modules, and to allow connection between the panel modules (A toD) and the relay bases (), () to be connector connection to thereby have ability to freely change layout of the panel modules (B toD) of division size in which 19 inches rack size is fundamental in accordance with fondness of operator.

Video signal switching apparatus and control method therefor

A switch mechanism of a detection sensor unmounted type has a configuration in which an attaching surface for a case body for containing a movable member moved in conjunction with a button operation and a mounting surface for a detection sensor operative to electrically detect a change in the position of the movable member attendant on the button operation are different, and a magnifying mechanism operative to magnifyingly transmit the change in the position of the movable member attendant on the button operation is mounted in the switch mechanism.
