Patent ID: 8212170

Claim:
A push switch comprising: stationary contact points; movable contact points provided as opposed to the stationary contact points; springs for urging the stationary contact point and the movable contact point in such a manner as to be away from each other, moving the movable contact point to the stationary contact point to be in contact with the stationary contact point; and a pressing member for pressing a movable contact point board with a pressing surface thereof, wherein: the springs comprise: a first spring arranged between the movable contact point board having the movable contact point and a stationary member having the stationary contact point; and a second spring arranged between the movable contact point board having the movable contact point and the stationary member having the stationary contact point, wherein: the first spring and the second spring have the same size and the same characteristic, and the first spring and the second spring have respective ends for supporting locations in the movable contact point board which are away from each other as interposing the movable contact points therebetween and the other respective ends set at support positions in the stationary member which are different in a direction of the movable contact point board; and the movable contact point board is pressed in a direction of the stationary contact point by the pressing surface of the pressing member.
