Abstract
A moving member for operating a contact mechanism is provided in a body case in such a manner as to be movable in its projecting and retracting direction. A rubber-made waterproof cap is provided on a front portion of the body case in such a manner as to cover the moving member When a door is closed, the moving member including the rubber cap is pressed by the door to turn off the contact, whereas when the door is opened, the pressing force is canceled to turn on the contact. A distal wall portion of the rubber cap is formed of a low-friction member to form a low-friction portion Consequently, contact surfaces of the rubber cap and the door are formed as low-friction surfaces, and contact surfaces of the rubber cap and the moving member are also formed as low-friction surfaces.
