A switch assembly () comprises a push-button section () and a push-button body () as an operation transmitting member, an LED box () and a contact-making contact () as a direct functioning member, and a communication-function incorporating contact (communications contact) () as an information input/output functioning member, as permitting these components to be connected with each other. Therefore, the switch assembly can respond to an operation given to the push-button body () by causing the contact-making contact () to provide an output for switching between a conductive state and a non-conductive state and by causing the communications contact () to output an information signal to a network.

A connector comprises locking springs in which fixed pieces are combined with movable pieces via resilient transformed parts and pushing parts and in which the tips of the fixed pieces are inserted into connection holes formed in the movable pieces a case for accommodating the locking springs terminal fittings locating on the outer surfaces of the fixed pieces of the locking springs wire slots formed opposite to the movable pieces of the locking springs and levers for pressing the pushing parts of the locking springs When the lever is in a non-operative position, tool entrances are provided at an opening which accepts the lever Each tool entrance leads to a contact area where the lever meets the pushing part of the locking spring

Connection device

Panel units ( to ) continuing an operation indicating panel ( ) each have a rectangular surface S with length and width each being substantially an integral multiple of a predetermined reference size (L). The panel units ( and ) are placed so that their surfaces S may be adjacent to one another. A whole surface (AS) consisting of the surfaces S of all the panel units ( to ) is formed in a rectangular shape with length and width each being substantially an integral multiple of the predetermined reference size (L). The arrangement and the like of the panel units ( to ) can be easily changed.
