  • Patent number: 11567524
    Abstract: A switch device includes an operating knob on which a tilting operation is performed, a detected portion that tilts with the tilting operation of the operating knob, a detection portion that detects movement of the detected portion, and a substrate on which the detection portion is arranged. The detection portion is aligned in an in-plane direction of the substrate and performs a switching operation upon detection of movement of the detected portion in the in-plane direction.

  • Patent number: 6723930
    Abstract: On a printed wiring board (13), switch parts (21 to 24) are disposed so as to correspond to four positions of corner parts in the side parts of a rectangular form of a pusher (20). A switch circuit member is provided. The switch circuit member includes the first to fourth switch parts and a plurality of resistances connected together between a pair of terminals and a resistance value between the pair of terminals is changed for each of different switch operation patterns of the switch parts in accordance with the pressing operations of the side parts of the pusher.
