Abstract
A push button includes a button body, and a panel body. The button body includes a cylinder, a presser, and a rim. The cylinder has opposite ends, and an outer peripheral shape. The presser is disposed at one of the opposite ends of the cylinder, and forms a pressing surface. The rim protrudes beyond the outer peripheral shape of the cylinder, and has a rear surface facing the pressing surface back-to-back. The panel body includes a cylinder-shaped holder, a main body, and a flange. The cylinder-shaped holder holds the button body therein so as to enable the button body to reciprocate in an axial direction of the cylinder, and has an opening. The main body demarcates the opening of the cylinder-shaped holder. The flange protrudes radially inward, and has a leading end to be brought into contact with the rear surface of the rim.
