Abstract: A switch device is provided. A switch device includes a housing. A circuit board is provided with fixed contacts. A rubber sheet is disposed on the circuit board and has protuberances, a tiltably-supported actuator, a rotatable knob, and a torsional coil spring serving as a restoring spring. The actuator is disposed adjacent to the rotatable knob. The rotatable knob is provided with a drive portion, which extends through a cutout in the actuator so as to be slidably engaged to engagement portions of the actuator.

Abstract: A switch device is provided. The switch device includes a circuit substrate having a fixed contact. A rubber sheet having dome-shaped protuberances is disposed on the circuit substrate. A holder is held moveable in the vertical direction. A rotatable knob is axially supported at the holder within a housing. An actuator is provided at the side of the rotatable knob. A drive portion is attached to the rotatable knob that extends out of the holder so as to be engaged with the actuator.

Abstract: An operating device of an electronic apparatus contains a rotatable operating knob protruding from a panel and stopper means for preventing the rotation of the operating knob. When the power of the electronic apparatus is turned off, the rotation of the operating knob is prevented by a stopper part of the stopper means. When the power of the electronic apparatus is turned on, the rotational operation of the operating knob is can be performed by releasing the stopper part of the stopper means. Therefore, when the power of the electronic apparatus is turned off, that is, when the adjustment of the electronic apparatus is not needed, even when a user inadvertently touches the operating knob, the operating knob does not rotate. Thus, a previously set value is prevented from being inadvertently changed.
