Abstract
A stored material detecting switch includes: a hollow case; stored material detecting device, accommodated in the case, for outputting a detection signal when the case is inclined at an angle equal to or more than a predetermined angle; and a suspension member for suspending the case in a storage chamber. The detection signal, which is outputted from the stored material detecting device at a time when the case is inclined at the angle equal to or greater than the predetermined angle through contact with a stored material in the storage chamber, is used to detect a storage level in the storage chamber.
