Abstract
In a rotary switch, a latching portion having a recess or a hole provided in a decorative cover engages with a locking portion having a protrusion provided on an operating knob, and a catching portion of a rotary body contacts with an inner side of the locking portion on one side closer to the rotary body. The decorative cover is thus attached to the operating body.
