きる。According to the waterproof switch of the present invention, the operation section and the switch main body are formed separately, and these are separated from the outside of the housing by the waterproof elastic film provided on the surface of the housing. It is a structure that is provided separately inside, and it has a double structure in which an elastic body for operation is added to the elastic film, and the elastic body for operation has a good follow-up property to the operation part, so it has a waterproof effect High, even if the elastic body for operation is damaged, the inside of the housing can be waterproofed by the elastic body film, and there is no danger of water entering the switch body. In addition, since the operation unit is formed of a rigid body, wear,
Since it is robust against breakage and the elastic body for operation acts to elastically hold the operating part in an equilibrium position, the operability is good with a simple structure. Therefore, a switch having good operability, high durability and waterproofness can be realized with a simple structure such as an elastic film or an elastic body for operation.
