An elastic member 4 made of a flexible material that covers the entire back surface of the operation button 2 and has an interposition portion 4a interposed between the tip of the operation portion 3a of the switch 3 and the back surface of the operation button 2.
And a stopper 5 that restricts the pressing stroke of the operation button 2, and a push button switch part of a switch mounting member that presses the operation button 2 to press the operation part 3a via the interposition part 4a of the elastic member 4. In the structure, the elastic member 4 is provided with a thin cover portion 6 which surrounds the outside of the stopper 5 over the entire circumference and is strongly pressed by the switch mounting member 1 at the lower edge to form the sealing surface S. This is achieved by providing the structure of the push button switch part in the provided switch mounting member.

チング操作が行われる。The push button switch section is formed by disposing the operation section 3a of the switch 3 below the operation button 2. The interposition part 4a of the elastic member 4 is interposed between the back surface of the operation button 2 and the operation part 3a. When the operation button 2 is pressed, the operation part 3a is pressed via the interposition part 4a, and the predetermined part is pressed. A switching operation is performed.

が構成される。A stopper 5 is arranged below the operation button 2 in order to regulate the downward movement stroke associated with the pressing operation of the operation button 2, and between the stopper 5 and the operation button 2. A gap 14 is set to ensure the downward movement of the operation button 2. The circumference of the stopper 5, to be precise, the void 14 is surrounded by the thin cover portion 6 integrally formed with the elastic member 4 around the entire circumference, and the lower edge of the thin cover portion 6 is sealed with the switch mounting member 1.

はない。Therefore, in the present invention, the water that has entered from the boundary between the operation button 2 and the button accommodating hole 1a in the state where the operation button 2 is exposed to the outside, is under the thin-walled cover portion 6 and the thin-walled cover portion 6. The sealing surface S formed on the entire circumference of the edge does not block the space 14 or the switch 3. Since water is prevented from entering the void 14, the water in the void 14 does not freeze and the operation button 2 cannot be operated as in the conventional example, and
Even if the water retained by the sealing surface S freezes, the outer wall surface of the thin cover portion 6 can be easily separated from the icing surface, and the thin cover portion 6 itself has a high elastic deformability. Since it has it, the operation of the operation button 2 is not disabled.

障を来すことはない。Further, even if water that has entered from the boundary between the operation button 2 and the button accommodating hole 1a goes around to the back side of the operation button 2, the entire back surface of the operation button 2 is covered with the elastic member 4. Since the elastic member 4 does not reach the inside of the switch 3 and has only a function as a relay member for transmitting the downward pressing force to the operation button 2 in the weight direction, Even if the water that has entered the boundary with the operation button 2 freezes, the operation of the operation button 2 is not hindered.

することができる。In this case, when the elastic member 4 is locked to the retaining projection 2a of the operation button 2, the operation followability between the operation button 2 and the elastic member 4 is improved, so that the operation feeling is improved. Further, when the locking portion 4b is extended upward so as to lock with the retaining projection 2a of the operation button 2, the contact area with the frozen water increases, and the peeling resistance of the elastic member 4 from the frozen portion increases. Although it may increase in size and impair the operability of the operation button 2, the outer peripheral wall surfaces of the locking portion 4b and the thin cover portion 6 are formed as conical surfaces 7 that widen the hem. Since the outer peripheral wall is deformed in the direction of peeling from the wall surface of the icing portion by the pressing operation, the operating force can be efficiently used as the peeling force and the change in the operational feeling can be reduced.
