Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a housing defining an opening comprising a first edge and a second edge substantially parallel to the first edge; a button comprising an urging member and a pushing member protruding from the urging member, wherein the urging member defines a slot comprising two opposite side surfaces and the pushing member is movably received in the opening; and a slide switch comprising: a main body, defining a fixing space, a channel and a first contact member protruding from a bottom of the fixing space; a slider comprising a movable member and a protrusion protruding from a front surface of the movable member, wherein the movable member is movably connected to the main body and able to slide between a first position and a second position within the channel, the protrusion is partially received in the slot of the button, and the protrusion includes two opposite side surfaces abutting against the two side surfaces of the slot; a rotary plate rotatably connected to the main body and comprising a lateral surface and a second contact member protruding from the lateral surface; and a rotary arm comprising a connecting end connected to the slider and a free end connected to the lateral surface of the rotary plate; wherein when the pushing member is pushed from the first edge to the second edge, the two side surfaces of the slot drive the slider to move from the first position to the second position, the rotary arm rotates about its axis of rotation to rotate the rotary plate, and the second contact member contacts the first contact member to actuate the slide switch.
