者にとって操作しずらいという問題があった。The above-mentioned conventional composite operation type electric component has a structure in which a swing type electric part is incorporated inside a rotary type electric part, so that it is disposed inside an annular knob. A relatively large space for swinging the operation buttons without any trouble must be secured. Therefore, the outer diameter dimension of the annular knob is inevitably increased, and this is a factor that hinders miniaturization of the entire electric component. Further, in such a conventional composite operation type electric component, the annular knob is operated when the rotary electric component is operated, and the operation button is operated when the swing type electric component is operated. When the desired function is realized by continuously operating the mold-type electric part and the oscillating-type electric part, different operation members such as an annular knob and an operation button must be operated continuously. There is a problem that it is difficult for a simple operator to operate.

When the operator performs a swing operation in which the operator pushes the operating body 5 to incline the swing member 20 in a desired direction, the switch element 21 located in that direction can be turned on. That is, when the swing member 20 is tilted, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the movable contact 23 located in the swing operation direction
Are pressed into the corresponding pressing protrusions 20c and come into contact with the central fixed contact 22a, so that the central fixed contact 22a and the peripheral fixed contact 22b can be conducted through the movable contact 23.

As a result, there is no danger of tilting in an undesired direction, so that malfunctions and malfunctions are easily avoided. Also,
When the operating force is removed in the state shown in FIG. 2, the swinging member 20 automatically returns to the neutral position shown in FIG. 1 by the elastic force of the leaf spring 24. Since the four elastic pieces 24b are formed in a cross shape so as to individually generate a restoring force, when the rocking operation is performed in any direction, the deflected elastic piece 24b is moved in the rocking operation direction. Produces a rebound in the opposite direction. Therefore, the swinging member 20 can be automatically returned to the neutral position without fail, the return operation is stabilized, and there is no fear that the neutral position is shaken. Further, as in the present embodiment, the center portion (columnar portion 20a) of the swing member 20 is elastically supported by the support member 1, and the swing member 20b provided around the center portion serves as a fulcrum. The configuration in which the oscillating member 20 is oscillated does not require an elastic support member or the like to be disposed outside the oscillating member 20, which is preferable in reducing the size of the oscillating electric component 2. Moreover, as a mechanism for elastically supporting the central portion of the swing member 20, the columnar portion 20 is provided.
The leaf spring 24 attached to the tip end of a is elastically in contact with the bottom surface side of the support member 1 and does not require a coil spring or the like. The leaf spring 24 is attached by caulking the tip of the columnar portion 20a inserted into the mounting hole 24a.
It is easy to firmly attach 4 to column 20a in a well-balanced manner.
