Abstract
A movable contact is mounted on the vicinity of one end of a movable contact piece having a generally U-like shape and made of an elastic member. A recess of a generally circular arc-shape in section is formed on the vicinity of the other end of the movable contact piece to extend in the direction of the width thereof. The movable contact piece is swingably supported by the movable contact piece support member, and a generally circular arc-shaped tip in section of a movable contact piece actuator of an operation button is engaged with the recess. The movable contact piece actuator swingable with the swinging movement of the operation button causes the movable contact piece to be swung to the switch-on position where the movable contact thereof comes into contact with a fixed contact mounted on a fixed contact piece or the switch-off position where the movable contact is away from the fixed contact. The movable contact piece actuator and the movable contact piece operate as if they are linked, and the movable contact piece swings by the rolling friction. Accordingly, feeling in actuation of the operation button becomes much favorable, the operation of the rocker switch is stable, and more quick reverse operation of the movable contact piece is ensured.
