Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH02244898A] PURPOSE: To enable a user to adjust the operating state or operating function of a device controlled from a remote-control transmitter even when the user is inexperienced by providing a transmitting element which radiates a control instruction selected by means of the entrance device of a transmitter based on a transmitting signal generated from a signal converter in a transmitter housing. CONSTITUTION: Gravitational switches 7-9 operate when a transmitter housing is inclined on one side from the horizontal state and, when the inclined angle of the housing is larger than a trigger angle a0 , generate output signals. When none of the switches 7-9 generates their output signals even when a push-button 6 is pressed, a direction signal converter 10 generates the output signal assigned to the standing still position of a remote-control transmitter, because the converter 10 decides that the transmitter is at its reference operating position. The output signal is also used as a control instruction and transmitted to a signal converter 5 so that the signal can be transmitted to a remote-controlled device. Therefore, even an inexperienced user can adjust the operating state or operating function of the remote-controlled device.
