Abstract
A push switch apparatus includes a switch that has a movable contact and a fixed contact built therein, a driving body that makes the movable contact contact/separate with/from the fixed contact by pressing the switch, an operating knob that holds the driving body, and a housing that holds the operating knob to be moved in a direction in which the switch is pressed. An elastic member that holds the driving body so as to be moved in the direction in which the switch is pressed and suppresses the driving body and a stopper that regulates the movement of the driving body are provided in the operating knob. The driving body elastically comes into contact with the stopper by the elastic member.
