Abstract
A pressure switching device includes a switch that switches between a pressing state in which a first opposed member presses against a second opposed member with predetermined pressure and a pressure decrease state in which the first opposed member is disposed opposite the second opposed member with no pressure or decreased pressure smaller than the predetermined pressure. A slide aid contacts one of the switch and an operation member as the operation member moves toward the switch. The slide aid is mounted on another one of the switch and the operation member. A vibration isolating member is interposed between the slide aid and the another one of the switch and the operation member. The slide aid has a hardness that is greater than a hardness of the vibration isolating member.
