The moving contact member is in the recess and includes a moving contact to contact with the fixed contact when the switch is subjected to a press operation. The protective sheet covers the recess. The case has a light-transmitting property and has a light incident surface and a light emergent surface. Light is incident on the light incident surface. At least part of the light that has entered through the light incident surface emerges through the light emergent surface.

Abstract: A push switch includes: a case including a recess; a fixed contact member including a fixed contact disposed in the recess; a movable contact member including a movable contact disposed in the recess; a protective sheet disposed in a first direction from the recess and covering the recess; and a rib disposed on the protective sheet. The protective sheet includes: a pressing portion; a fixed portion fixed to the case; and an intermediate portion located between the pressing portion and the fixed portion as viewed in the first direction. As the pressing portion of the protective sheet is pressed along the first direction, the movable contact member deforms by force received from the protective sheet. The movable contact touches the fixed contact as a result of the deformation of the movable contact member.

Abstract: A member has a first recess, a second recess, and a depression. The depression accommodates a movable member and a contact member. Positioned on a bottom surface of the first recess is a first fixture contact, whereas positioned on a bottom surface of the second recess is a second fixture contact. When a pressure receiving section of the movable member is pressed toward a bottom surface of the depression, the movable member is elastically deformed to separate a movable joint from the contact member. When the pressure receiving section is further pressed toward the bottom surface of the depression, the movable member is elastically deformed to separate the first movable contact from the first fixture contact and to separate the second movable contact from the second fixture contact.

Abstract: In a stationary state, a first fixture contact is electrically connected to a contact member, and the first fixture contact is electrically connected to a second fixture contact. When the stationary state is transited to a first operation state where the pressure receiving section is pressed through a press unit toward a surface of a case in an operation direction, a third movable contact becomes separated from the contact member, thereby breaking off the electrical connection between the first fixture contact and the contact member. When the first operation state is transited to a second operation state where the pressure receiving section is further pressed through the press unit, the first movable contact becomes separated from the first fixture contact, and the second movable contact becomes separated from the second fixture contact. The electrical connection between the first fixture contact and the second fixture contact is thereby broken off.
