Patent ID: 7297881

Claim:
A composite switch comprising: an operation body, made of an inelastic material, having a square shape seen from an upper surface and being swingably supported by a case around a middle point between two opposing sides as a fulcrum; two pairs of push switches disposed at a lower side in both tilting directions at the time of tilting of the operation body in a manner in which the push switches are disposed two by two symmetrically with respect to a line that is a swing center shaft of the case, wherein the two push switches in one of the pairs at one side have different operation forces; two driving bodies, made of an inelastic material, disposed in contact with each upper surface of one pair of push switches located in parallel to the swing center shaft of the case; and a cover allowing the two driving bodies to be housed in and fixed to the case and having windows from which upper parts of the two driving bodies protrude; wherein when the operation body is tilted in one direction, an upper surface position of the driving body that is a center between the one pair of push switches at a lower side in the tilting direction is pressed and the one pair of push switches operate by different operation forces.
