Shaw Pittman LLP
Photointerrupter and case thereof
A case (3) of a photointerrupter (A) includes a pair of projections (35) for preventing a light source (1) and a photodetector (2) from coming out of a respective one of paired receiving portions (30). Each of the projections (35) is connected to a respective first wall (32A) defining the respective receiving portion (30) of the case on an extension line of a respective slit (34) for light transmission. Therefore, the case (3) need not be formed with a large slit other than the slit (34), so that disturbing external light is less likely to enter the receiving portions (30).
