Abstract

See full text

A multi-function switch assembly configured to implement a push switch function is provided. A structure for operating pivot switches of the multi-function switch assembly includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) disposed between upper and lower casings coupled together to face each other, push switches and rotary switches mounted on the PCB, pivot switches mounted on a bottom of the PCB, a pair of sliders disposed to cross each other at a bottom of the lower casing and configured to laterally ground and operate the pivot switches in eight directions while operating in conjunction with a manipulation direction of the actuation lever, and alignment means configured to elastically support at least one of bottoms of the pair of sliders so that restoring force of a neutral state is generated.
