OPERATION MODULE AND SWITCH UNIT USED THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an operation module constituting an operation part for electric devices and a switch used for the module which have little sense of incongruity and good operational feeling in operation. SOLUTION: Actuators 61 as direction-turning members and base members 54 are disposed between press-buttons 42 disposed in through-holes 43 provided in the normal direction to the front surface of a housing 41 constructed with a curved surface and switching parts 53 placed on a substrate 52, to press the switching parts 53 in a different direction from the normal direction, so that the operational direction of the press-buttons 42 are turned in the operational direction of the switching parts 53 in switching by the actuators 61, whereby the press-buttons 42 are operable in operation with less inconvenient feeling and improved operational feeling.
