This patent has no inventor or applicant:

It just bears a very strong semblance to the switchplate of [wiki]Omron Alps-style switch[/wiki].
I managed to find the patent on the Japanese patent website but they offer no clues either. As usual, the scan resolution is too low to permit transcription by anyone who cannot read Japanese.

I could probably translate it but I unfortunately don't have the time at the moment.

That was really useful information. You're on a roll lately.Blaise170 wrote: ↑I could probably translate it but I unfortunately don't have the time at the moment.
With SPARC's help, I've managed to transcribe the applicant: 立石電機株式会社 — Tateishi Electric Co., Ltd. (Omron's old name).
He also found out that the inventor now runs an Omron-related company, so there's a 1E-20 chance of finding something more out. Hey, I have to at least try.

I'm detecting a bit of sarcasm there! To be honest I completely forgot about this thread until just now.
