In a push-button switch device for a vehicle including a case fixed to a vehicle body or a lid openably and closably mounted on the vehicle body, a push-button that forms a housing chamber in cooperation with the case and supported on the case configured for a pushing operation, and a switch housed in and fixed to the housing chamber for changing a switching mode thereof in response to a pushing operation of the push-button, a through passage is formed in the case, the through passage having one end part thereof communicating with the housing chamber, and an air vent hole is provided in the case, the air vent hole providing communication between the other end part of the through passage and the outer panel. Such configuration prevents water from entering a housing chamber thereby avoiding deterioration of the push-button, and enabling the housing chamber to breath.

Push-button switch device for vehicle

In a push-button switch device for a vehicle including a first case member fixed to a vehicle body or a lid openably and closably mounted on the vehicle body, a second case member mounted on the first case member forming a case together with the first case member, a push-button supported on the case configured for a pushing operation, and a switch housed in and fixed to the case in a state in which waterproofness is ensured while a switching mode thereof is changed in response to a pushing operation of the push-button, the entrance of water into the case is suppressed as far as possible. A labyrinth passage bent up and down is formed between the first and second case members further inside than an abutment part formed by mutual abutment of at least upper edges among peripheral edges of the first and second case members.

In a sensor device in which an IC module having a sensing portion at its top end is housed and fixed in a housing made of a synthetic resin, and a pair of leads are connected at one end of them to the IC module in the housing, the sensor device including a holder assembly comprising a first holder having a containment recess for containing the IC module while retaining the top end of the IC module, and an insert hole leading to the containment recess for allowing the IC module to be inserted to the containment recess, and a second holder having a partition wall disposed between the pair of leads connected to the rear end of the IC module, inserted in the insert hole of the first holder, and retaining the rear part of the IC module in cooperation with the first holder, the IC module being contained in the containment recess and the holder assembly being covered by the housing, whereby it is possible to simplify the structure of assembling the second holder to the first holder, and simplify the operation of assembling the IC module to the holder assembly, thereby enabling to easily manufacture the sensor device.
