Patent ID: 7960664

Claim:
A seesaw switch comprising: a pair of switch elements each of which has an operated section that receives a pressing operation; a rotation operating member that has pressing sections at respective locations corresponding to the operated sections of the switch elements, and is rotationally displaced pivoting around a rotating axis located between the pressing sections; pressure transmitting members each of which is located between each of the pressing sections of the rotation operating member and the corresponding operated section of the switch element, and transmits pressure from the pressing section of the rotation operating member to the operated section of the switch element; a guide member that guides the pressure transmitting member to be displaced in contacting and separating directions with respect to the operated section of the switch element, according to a rotational displacement of the rotation operating member, and to press the operated section of the switch element; and viscous material that is provided between each of the pressing sections of the rotation operating member and the pressure transmitting member corresponding to the pressing section, and affixes the pressure transmitting member to the pressing section of the rotation operating member, wherein the viscous material has sufficient viscosity that allows the pressing section of the rotation operating member to incline toward the pressure transmitting member, while enabling the pressure transmitting member to follow a rotational displacement of the pressing section.
