Switch apparatus

A switch apparatus has a case that includes a hollow projecting support section, a switch contact provided inside the case, and a button having a depressing section that comes into contact with the switch contact and mounted on the support section in a manner vertically movable. Furthermore, an inwardly projecting catch section is provided on the inner periphery of the support section, and an engaging hole is provided on the depressing section of the button into which the catch section is to be inserted. In this configuration, an opening on the top surface of the case is not required when manufacturing the case and the button by resin molding. As a result, a switch apparatus is obtained which is superior in resistance to water and dust and stable in operation.

1. A switch apparatus including:

A) a case having

A-1) a projecting hollow cylindrical support section; and

A-2) a catch section provided in a manner projecting from inner surface of the support section;

B) a button having a depressing section provided inside the support section in parallel to the direction of projecting of the support section in a manner projecting from an inner surface of the support section, the depressing section provided with an engaging hole into which the catch section is to be inserted, and the button mounted in a manner movable in the direction of projecting of the support section; and

C) a switch contact provided inside the case for performing electrical on-off action upon being depressed by the depressing section.

2. The switch apparatus of claim 1, wherein the button further has a side section for covering the support section.

3. The switch apparatus of claim 2, wherein configuration of the cross sections of the side section and the support section is polygonal.

4. The switch apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portions of the surface of the case other than the portion where the support section is formed are closed.
