The contact member has elastic arms on ends of which movable contacts are formed. The contact member has a first and a second end portion and connects at the first end portion thereof with the first end portion of the movable member and at the second end portion thereof with the first end portion of the movable member so as to support the movable contacts at a given interval away from the stationary contacts, respectively. The knob disposed slidably in the chamber of the casing with a head projecting from the upper opening. The knob has a bottom wall in engagement with the movable member.
