Abstract
A switch apparatus includes pushers ( ) for operating the switch bodies ( ), provided between an operating element ( ), which is adapted to undergo a turning operation, and each of switch bodies. The pushers are configured in such a way as to be guided by pusher guides ( ) at places, each of which is located away from between a corresponding one of the switch bodies and a corresponding one of parts ( ) of the operating element for forcedly pushing the pushers. This eliminates the necessity for ensuring the necessary length (L ) of each of the pusher guides ( ), each of which is used for performing operations of forcedly pushing the switch bodies, between a corresponding one of the switch bodies and a corresponding one of the parts of the operating element for pushing the pushers.
