Claim Text:
1. A switch device comprising: a polar board having a first fixed contact point, a second fixed contact point, a support portion, and a restriction member between the support portion and the first fixed contact point; a band-shaped movable piece supported in a position of being separated from an opposing face of the polar board by the support portion at a midway position of the movable piece in a longitudinal direction, the movable piece being provided to be capable of swinging in a direction where one side and another side of the movable piece in the longitudinal direction are connected to or disconnected from the first fixed contact point and the second fixed contact point formed to be projected toward the movable piece from the opposing face of the polar board; and a movable board having an urging member for urging the movable piece to the polar board, the movable board being movable forward/backward in the longitudinal direction in association with an operation of a knob; wherein when the movable board moves forward in the longitudinal direction, the urging member causes the one side of the movable piece in the longitudinal direction to make contact with the first fixed contact point, and when the movable board moves backward in the longitudinal direction, the urging member causes the one side of the movable piece in the longitudinal direction to be disconnected from the first fixed contact point; wherein the restriction member is provided to restrict the movement of the movable piece to the polar board, the restriction member having a set height from the polar board such that the restriction member abuts on the movable piece at a point where a height of the first fixed contact point from the polar board reaches a predetermined height due to wear; and wherein the movable piece is supported by the support portion to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction such that when the one side of the movable piece makes contact with the first fixed contact point, in a case where the restriction member makes contact with the movable piece, the movable piece is displaced in the longitudinal direction on a basis of the contact position with the restriction member to be disconnected from the first fixed contact point.
