Abstract: Disclosed is a shaft inserted member into which a shaft is inserted in a relatively movable manner, and a locking mechanism provided in the shaft inserted member. The tip portion of the shaft includes a locking step portion formed by providing an annular groove or a ring-shaped projection portion. The locking mechanism includes at least two locking pieces arranged around the shaft at an equal interval. The shaft is stopped from slipping off by a tip portion of each of the tip locking portions abutting on the locking step portion. The locking piece can receive the force in a pulling direction in a length direction of the locking piece, whereby a load can be reduced. That is, sufficient strength can be maintained.

Abstract: Enhancing efficiency in assembling a waterproof switch, and enhance flexibility of seal design. The waterproof switch 7 includes a plunger 11 accommodated in a cylindrical case 10 capable of moving in the longitudinal direction, and to which a spring 17 applies a force in a direction. One end of the plunger 11 is provided with a common contact point 16 which contacts with contact point terminals 18 and 19 when predetermined amount of displacement to the spring 17 which applies the force to the plunder 11 is provided. A concave portion 10a is that to which a seal 13 for a sliding part of the plunger 11 is attached, and this concave portion 10a is provided to an end portion of the case 10. Assembling is proceeded while recognizing how the seal 13 is attached thereto from the appearance in the assembling process.
