A switch has an actuating arm including an actuating portion and a driving portion, a base including a support that supports the actuating arm, and a recess having a first fixed electrode and a second fixed electrode arranged on the inner side face, and an electrically conductive elastic member that is housed within the recess of the base. The electrically conductive elastic member includes at least one driven part that is driven by the driving portion of the driving body and at least one stretching part that is extendable and compressible through input to the at least one driven part, at least one movable contacting member having a movable contact capable of being connected to the first fixed electrode, and at least one fixed contacting part having a fixed contact capable of being connected to the second fixed electrode.

Switch

A switch has a base having a frame portion disposed integrally with an outer peripheral portion of an upper surface of the base, a common fixed contact disposed at a corner of inside surfaces of the frame portion, and a fixed contact disposed on an inside surface of the base opposite to the common fixed contact, a spring member having elastic arm portions extending respectively from both ends of a bellows-like spring portion, wherein a free end portion of one of the elastic arm portions serves as a sliding movable contact, wherein a free end portion of another of the elastic arm portions serves as a rotationally movable contact, and wherein the rotationally movable contact is positioned so as to be in contact with the common fixed contact of the base, and an operation lever including an operation rib.

A switch has a base having a recess, and a plurality of fixed contacts mounted in an inner side face of the recess, an electrically conductive actuator disposed within the recess of the base, the electrically conductive actuator having a pair of movable contact portions and an elastically deformable elastic portion, the movable contact portions having movable contacts capable of being connected to respective fixed contacts, at least one engagement convex portion disposed on one of the base and the electrically conductive actuator, and at least one engagement concave portion disposed on the other of the base and the electrically conductive actuator and engageable with the at least one engagement convex portion. The elastic portion of the electrically conductive actuator is elastically deformed to break an engagement between the engagement convex and concave portions when the actuator moves between a first position and a second position.

A switch has a base having a frame integrally formed on a periphery of an upper face of the base, a fixed contact formed on an inner side face of the frame, and a support protrusion that protrudes from the upper face of the base that is integrally formed so as to expose a common fixed contact, an electrically conductive spring member whose connecting part arranged at a center of a spiral spring is nonrotatably supported by the support protrusion and that extends a driving piece from the free end of the spiral spring, and an actuating lever whose one end is rotatably supported by the upper face of the base and that integrally forms an actuating trigger that presses the driving piece of the electrically conductive spring member.

An input device has a housing having an operation hole formed therein, an operation member supported in a slidably moving manner in multi-directions within the operation hole, and at least two magnetic sensors, arranged at a periphery of the operation member, for detecting change in magnetic property by displacement of the operation member. The operation member includes a holder having a circular ring-shaped magnet incorporated in a fit-in hole and a central push button having a disc plate made of magnetic material integrated at a lower surface. The central push button is fitted in the circular ring-shaped magnet to adsorb, in a separable manner, the disc plate to the circular ring-shaped magnet and position-regulate the central push button.
