Claim:
1. A multi-operating switch device for a vehicle, comprising: a housing unit; a substrate disposed within the housing unit; a switch shaft unit movably disposed so as to be received at one end thereof in the housing unit and exposed at the other end thereof to the outside; a rotary switch unit configured to detect the axial rotation of the switch shaft unit and output a signal indicating the detection of the axial rotation; a directional switch unit configured to detect a tilting directional operation of the switch shaft unit and output a signal indicating detection of the tilting directional operation; and a push switch unit configured to detect a pressure type push operation of the switch shaft unit and output a signal indicating the detection of the pressure type push operation, wherein the directional switch unit comprises: a directional slide part configured to be changed in position within the housing unit by the tilting directional operation of the switch shaft unit; a directional switch disposed on the substrate, and configured to be operated by a change in the position of the directional slide part to generate a signal indicating the change in the position of the directional slide part; and a directional return switch configured to return the directional slide part and the switch shaft unit to their original positions on a plane, wherein the directional return switch comprises: a return plunger movably disposed in the housing unit; a return elastic part received in the housing unit and configured to elastically support the return plunger; and a return groove configured to form a continuous contact with the return plunger and including a position for returning the return plunger to its original position, and wherein the return plunger is movable in an axial direction of the switch shaft unit with respect to the housing unit, and the return groove is formed in the directional slide part.
