A switch device includes a panel housing a knob, the panel having a wall face around the knob. In at least one of outside faces of the knob, the outside faces opposing the wall face and another member adjacent to the knob, the outside face has a base part formed on an upper side thereof and a recess part formed in a lower side thereof. The recess part extends to a lower end of the outside face. The base part has an obliquely downwardly inclined parts formed on a lower edge part thereof. Accordingly, the device can ensure stable operation of the knob by discharging, from a gap between the panel and the knob, liquid that has entered the gap.

Switch device

In a switch device, a switch part is turned ON/OFF by operation of an operating knob housed in a recessed part of a panel so that a movable terminal and a fixed terminal are in contact or are separated. An outside face, opposing an inner peripheral face of the recessed part of the panel, of the operating knob is an inclined face that is inclined inward of the operating knob in going downward. A gap that widens in going downward is formed between the outside face of the operating knob and the inner peripheral face of the recessed part of the panel. Accordingly, the device can ensure stable operation of the operating knob by discharging, from the gap between the panel and the operating knob, liquid that has entered the gap, and that can improve the appearance.

The present invention is mainly configured of a separator for an electric double-layer capacitor that comprises an aramid fiber, a polyester fiber, a glass fiber, and a silica (inorganic compound for forming hydrosol) containing a particulate silica (particulate inorganic compound) of not less than 1 nm and not more than 500 nm, wherein total of the silica and the glass fiber is not less than 10 mass percent and not more than 50 mass percent; the electric double-layer capacitor comprising the separator; and a manufacturing method of the separator for the electric double-layer capacitor which method comprises a mixing process for mixing the aramid fiber, the polyester fiber, the glass fiber, and the silica sol and a paper making process for making paper from the mixture.
