Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a low cost and highly reliable switch by using a contact piece of a twisted coil spring with a movable end which is bent in a U-shape and its tip is further bent in an approximately semicircular form to make into a contact, and with a fixed end which is almost of a straight line and its tip is made into contact. CONSTITUTION:The movable end of a contact piece 14 which consists of a conductive material is bent in a U-shape, and the tip is further bent in an approximately semicircular form to form a contact 14c. On the other hand, the fixed end is almost of a straight line, and a contact 14d is formed at the tip. And the coil member is held by a U-shaped recess 11a. Then, at the lower part of an operating body 15, a U-shaped groove 15a is formed, and it strides on the movable end 14b of the contact piece 14. In this case, by depressing the operating body 15, the movable end 14b is rotated, and the contact 14c and a fixed terminal 13 are slided while they are contacted. By such constitution, the manufacture of terminals 12 and 13, and the contact piece 14 is made easier, and a switch of a low cost and a high reliability can be obtained.
