<p>Disclosed are a push operation-type two-stage switch device that contributes to improvement of operability and where a cause of an operation failure of two switches is removed, and an endoscope using the switch device. The switch device has a first switch, a first input member vertically slidably provided on the upper side of the first switch and capable of activating the first switch at a first switch input position, a second switch provided over the first switch, a second input member vertically slidably provided over the second switch and capable of activating the second switch at a second switch input position, an operation section connected to the first operation member and the second operation member, and a support mechanism for supporting the first input member and the second input member such that the first input member is positioned at the first switch input position by first pressing force that is applied to the operation section and, further, the second input member is positioned at the second switch input position by second pressing force that is continuously applied from the stage where the first pressing force is applied.</p> |
