Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2242072A1] An object of this invention is to provide an operating device that has a simple and compact structure, restricts a return position of an operating member that receives a pushing action, and effectively reduces bounding sounds upon returning. The operating device comprises operating members (20C, 20E) for operating a switch element in response to a pushing action and a holding member (10B) for holding the operating members. Each of the operating members (20C, 20E) includes a portion being operated (22) that receives the pushing action, a pushing portion (24) that contacts with the switch element, and a portion being engaged (26) that projects from the pushing portion (24) in a direction perpendicular to the pushing action direction. The holding member (10B) has a deflectable piece (16) that includes a deflectable engaging portion (16c). The deflectable piece (16) is deflected when the operating members are inserted into the holding member and has a shape in which the engaging portion (16c) contacts with the portion being engaged (26) from a side opposite to the switch element at a position where the portion being engaged (26) passes over the deflectable piece (16).
