BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, electronic devices such as tape recorders have become significantly smaller and thinner and more portable, and products are becoming increasingly outdoor-oriented. Figures 4 and 5 show an example of how it is used. Figure 4 shows the case where the product 11 is held in hand and the switch is operated. Since the product 11 is small in terms of operability, the switch is placed on the widest side. It would be nice if there was a knob 12. Fig. 5 shows the product 11 placed in the pocket 13, etc., but from the viewpoint of operability, there is a switch knob 1 on the top surface.
As with 0 or more, outdoor-oriented products can be used in a variety of situations.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a switch operating device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 designates a cabinet, which has a cutout 1b at a corner. A rib 1a is provided on the inner surface of the corner portion of the cabinet 1. Reference numeral 2 denotes a switch knob, which has a dogleg-shaped cross section and has an elastic portion 2a at the tip of the image. This elastic portion 2a is provided with an engagement hole 2b for engaging the rib 1a. Reference numeral 3 designates a push switch, which is mounted on a printed circuit board 4 and housed in the cabinet 1. The push switch 3 is tilted so that it faces from the operating section 3a toward the corner of the cabinet 1. The operating portion 3a is attached to a protrusion 2 provided on the inner surface of the corner of the switch knob 2.
It is designed to be drawn and tangent to C. Above switch knob 2
A biasing force is applied by providing engagement holes 2b provided in the elastic portions 2a at both ends on the inner surface of the cabinet 1 or engaging the pulleys 1a.

Regarding the switch operation device configured as described above,
, : The operation will be explained below using FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the switch knob 2 is operated from a plane direction, and when the switch knob 2 is pushed from the direction of the arrow on, the elastic hinge 2& is bent, and the switch knob 2 pushes the operating portion 3a of the switch 3. When the operating force is released, the switch 1 knob 2 returns to its original position due to the elasticity of the hinge 2a. Also from the direction of arrow B 9
