Claim:
A switch apparatus for adjusting a power seat in a vehicle, comprising: a body; a plurality of switches installed on the body and configured to be independently manipulated, and including a first switch which is manipulated in a horizontal direction, and a second switch which is spaced apart from the first switch and is manipulated in a vertical direction; and a guide bracket, a first end portion of which is integrally coupled to the first switch and a second end portion of which is placed around the second switch and selectively coupled to the second switch according to a horizontal movement of the first switch; wherein the second switch is movable in the vertical direction while the first switch is in a neutral position, and is interfered with the second end portion of the guide bracket and thus not movable while the first switch is out of the neutral position; wherein the second end portion of the guide bracket is interfered with the second switch while the second switch is out of a neutral position, thus limiting movement of the first switch; and wherein the second end portion of the guide bracket comprises a frame which loosely surrounds the second switch, and comprises a plurality of stoppers which are provided along an inner circumference of the frame in such a way as to protrude toward the second switch, thus limiting a vertical movement of the second switch while the guide bracket moves leftwards or rightwards according to the horizontal movement of the first switch.
