Abstract:
1. A switch comprising: an operating element supported by a housing and oscillation operated to one side and an other side; a power supply switch mechanism for bringing contacts of a movable piece and a fixed terminal facing each other in the housing into contact with each other when the operating element is oscillation operated to one side; a return spring for biasing the operating element in an oscillation operating direction when the operating element is oscillation operated to the other side; a power supply holding release mechanism configured by a holding portion for holding a contact state of the contacts of the movable piece and the fixed terminal by regulating the return spring in an anti-biasing direction when the operating element is oscillation operated to one side; and a releasing portion for releasing the contact state held by the holding portion, wherein the power supply switch mechanism, the return spring, and the power supply holding release mechanism are arranged in an internal space of the housing, and wherein the power supply holding release mechanism is arranged on the one side in the oscillation operating direction of the operating element and the power supply switch mechanism is arranged on the other side in the oscillation operating direction of the operating element.
