<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an opening/closing detection apparatus capable of detecting the opened/closed states of a plurality of opening/closing members by a single switch and capable of smoothly opening/closing the opening/closing members. <P>SOLUTION: The 1st configuration of the opening/closing detection apparatus is provided with a switch 19 for detecting the opened/closed states of opening/closing covers 10-12, a depression member 13 for depressing the switch 19, a 1st arm to be depressed when the opening/closing cover 12 is closed, a 2nd arm to be depressed when the opening/closing cover 11 is closed, a seesaw arm 17 to be turned in the reverse direction around a position between the 1st arm and the 2nd arm, and a support block 15 formed so as to be oscillated to support the depression member 13 and the seesaw arm 17. When only one of the opening/closing covers 11, 12 is closed, one of the 1st and 2nd arms is depressed, the seesaw arm 17 is turned and the support block 15 is not oscillated, and when both the opening/closing covers 11, 12 are closed, both the 1st and 2nd arms are depressed, the seesaw arm 17 is not turned and the support block 15 is oscillated to depress the switch 19. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
