Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a high-productivity switch wherein a press button can be mounted after incorporating internal components into a housing. For this purpose, a press button (90) is inserted into an operating hole (14) in a housing (10) such that an engaging projection (91) provided on the lower end edge portion of the press button (90) is engaged with a first engaging groove (17) provided on the inner periphery surface of the operating hole (14). Further, said engaging projection (91) which passed through said first engaging groove (17) pushes a slider (60) downward while rotating said press button (90). Then, the engaging projection (91) of said press button (90) is engaged with a second engaging groove (64) which is provided on the inner periphery surface of a recessed portion (63) of said slider (60), whereby said slider (60) moves upward and holds said press button (90) in place.
