The movable contact 7 is formed by a protrusion 77d below the flange 77b.
4b, the movable contact 74b is brought into contact with the fixed contact 75a, and the contact of the switch 75 is turned on. Next, when the tilting operation is released, the movable contact 74b is released.
Return by its own spring property, and as shown in FIG.
Along with returning to the state of the FF, the operation member 77 also returns to the original state. When the operation member 77 is tilted in the direction of arrow A3, the movable contact 74 is moved according to the same principle as described above.
When b comes into contact with the fixed contact portion 76a and the tilting operation is released, the original state shown in FIG. 27 is returned.

In addition to the large size, the operation member 77 is held at the neutral position because the central projection 77c is pushed by the movable contact 74b.
When the operation member 7 is tilted, the movable contact 74b is operated with a small operation when the operation member 77 is tilted, and the operation at the time of the tilting operation of the operation member 77 is small, and there is a problem that the operational feeling is poor.

おける動作が小さく、操作感が悪いという問題がある。That is, in the former conventional multidirectional operation switch, the operation member 57 is composed of two parts, the operation part 58 and the receiving part 59.
Not only is the productivity low, the cost is high, but the use of the cylindrical coil spring 61 is problematic in that not only the size is increased, but also the operation member 57 is rattled. Also,
In the latter conventional multidirectional operation switch, the movable contact 74a is formed in a circular dish shape, so that not only is the movable contact 74a large, but also the operation member 77 is held at the neutral position by the protrusion 77c in the central portion. Since the operation member 77 is pressed, the support of the operation member 77 is weak, the operation member 77 is loose, and when the operation member 77 is tilted, the movable contact 74b is operated with a small operation, and the operation member 77 is pressed. There is a problem that the operation at the time of the tilting operation is small and the operation feeling is poor.
