し得る画期的な特徴がある。[Effect] The contact spring disk, which is costly and difficult to manufacture, stably install and maintain, is used only in one part of the central switch means which is easy to stably install and maintain. However, for the switch means in 4 directions (4 places), the cost is low, the design and manufacturing are easy, and the installation position can be accurately maintained. Since the movable contact means consisting of a spring piece is used for the tilting member, the overall cost of the switch can be reduced to a fraction of that of conventional products, and the performance and durability are significantly higher than those of conventional products. There is an epoch-making feature that can provide a unidirectional 4-way switch.

Even if the knob is accidentally pressed down diagonally downward, etc., or if the knob is accidentally pressed and moved in the horizontal direction at the same time, the knob is pressed (regardless of the direction). If the knob is tilted or laterally moved in this state, the mating concave portion and the engaging convex portion are disengaged, so that the tilting member has no effect, that is, the tilting member does not tilt, so that the contact spring pieces are relatively fixed. There is an extremely excellent effect of preventing an erroneous operation such as an erroneous contact with a contact.

得る効果がある。Further, in the state where the tilting member is housed in the case, the vicinity of the tips of both contact spring pieces of each contact spring unit of the tilting member are positioned on both sides of the receiving table on which the restoring spring pieces are placed. Therefore, when tilting in the target direction out of the four directions, the tilting direction of the tilting member can be regulated and guided in the correct target direction with the tip of both contact spring pieces sandwiching the spring cradle from both sides. Therefore, there is an effect that the wrong direction operation of the operation knob can be prevented.
