Abstract:
A push switch  1  includes a movable contact member  20  with a bulging portion  20 a.  The push switch  1  has a fixed contact member  10  with a first fixed contact portion  10 a  and a second fixed contact portion  10 b.  The push switch  1  includes an electrically conductive vibration damping member  25  elastically deformable by an operating force lower than load for inversion operation of the bulging portion  20 a.  When the movable contact member  20  is operated from the initial state, the vibration damping member  25  is deflected due to elastic deformation while the operating force during the elastic deformation of the vibration damping member  25  increases monotonically. When the movable contact member  20  returns from the bulging portion  20 a  being in an inverted state to the initial state, the vibration damping member  25  absorbs the vibrations from the movable contact member  20.

Claim (Index 1):
A push switch, comprising:\n a movable contact member formed of a metal plate and having a dome-shaped bulging portion, the bulging portion being capable of an inversion operation; a fixed contact member capable of electrically coupling to the movable contact member; a housing having a housing portion in which the movable contact member is accommodated, the housing portion having an opening at one side thereof; wherein the fixed contact member has a first fixed contact portion and a second fixed contact portion, the first fixed contact portion being provided on an internal bottom surface of the housing portion and capable of being brought into and out of contact with the movable contact member, the second fixed contact portion being provided at an outer edge portion of the internal bottom surface, the push switch further comprises an electrically conductive vibration damping member that is elastically deformable by an operating force lower than a load required for the inversion operation of the bulging portion, the bulging portion and the second fixed contact portion being electrically, coupling to each other via the vibration damping member, when the movable contact member is operated from an initial state, the vibration damping member starts to elastically deform such that an operating force in an elastically deformed state increases monotonously, and when the bulging portion is returned to its initial state from an inverted state, the vibration damping member absorbs a vibration of the movable contact member.
