  • Publication number: 20090308719
    Abstract: When a car driver has backwardly pushed a four-way knob, both legs of a push knob slidably move along a guide surface of an internal pusher member, whereby the four-way knob is tilted along with the push knob. When the car driver has backwardly pushed the push knob while the push knob and the four-way knob remain tilted, the push knob linearly, backwardly moves in conjunction with the four-way knob, whereby an internal switch and an external switch are operated. Therefore, the push knob can be illuminated by an internal LED of a switching board by way of a through hole of the internal pusher member.
