When the operating shaft 17 is pushed downward from this state, the end portion of the arm 24b of the second interlocking member 22 resists the elasticity of the return spring 39 and the rotating shaft 14 of the variable resistor 13 and the arm 24a.
It moves downward along the vertically elongated hole 30 with the engaging portion of and as a fulcrum, and eventually engages with the lower edge of the vertically elongated hole 30 which functions as a stopper, as shown in FIG. 4 (b). Meanwhile arm 24
The end of b presses the knob 41 of the tact switch 40 downward, and the tact switch 40 operates. If the pressing of the operating shaft 17 is stopped, the end of the arm 24b is moved to the third position by the repulsive force of the return spring 39.
The state returns to the state of FIG. 4A, and the end of the arm 24b returns to the state of FIG. 4A in which the end of the arm 24b elastically contacts the upper edge of the longitudinal groove 30. The tact switch 40 operates even if the operation shaft 17 is tilted in any direction and is pressed downward.
