Patent ID: 7405373

Claim:
A switch structure, comprising: a circuit board; at least a pair of electrodes formed on the circuit board; a push switch provided to face an end surface of the circuit board, and having a contact portion which moves forward and backward; and an elastic connection member provided between the end surface of the circuit board and the contact portion, and has a structure in which conductive layers including a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer and insulation layers are laminated alternately, wherein the elastic connection member is constituted such that, the first conductive layer abuts against one electrode of the pair of electrodes out of the plurality of electrodes, and the second conductive layer insulated from the first conductive layer abuts against another electrode of the pair of electrodes out of the plurality of electrodes, and when the push switch is pushed, the contact portion abuts against the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer so that electric connections therebetween are established.
