A switch device that includes a switch, a casing, side wall portions extending in a first direction from the casing, front and back wall portions extending in the first direction from the casing, a dust-proof portion extending from the back wall portion, and an operation knob including an upper surface portion swingable in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and a third direction opposite to the second direction and covers the dust-proof portion, and a back surface portion extending in a fourth direction opposite to the first direction from the back end of the upper surface portion and faces a part of the dust-proof portion, wherein the side wall portions, the front wall portion, and the back wall portion form a substantially rectangular shape, the side wall portions, the front wall portion, and the dust-proof portion form another substantially rectangular shape greater than the substantially rectangular shape.

A multifunctional switch manipulator is provided. The manipulator includes a first switch unit, which is curved to be convex at the upper surface thereof, a second switch unit, which is disposed at a first side of the first switch unit and which extends radially in a first direction, and a third switch unit, which is disposed at a second side of the first switch unit and which extends radially in a second direction opposite the first direction. Each of the second and third switch units includes a housing that has an opening and a rotary knob disposed at the housing to be rotatable in a direction in which the opening extends, and at least one surface of the rotary knob is exposed to an outside through the opening.

A switch device includes a first rubber dome, a second rubber dome, and a slider disposed on the first rubber dome and the second rubber dome. The slider presses the upper surface of the first rubber dome, causing deformation of the first rubber dome when the slider is moved toward the first and second rubber domes, and presses the upper surface of the second rubber dome, causing deformation of the second rubber dome when the slider is further moved toward the first and second rubber domes in a state in which the first rubber dome is subjected to the deformation. A thick portion is formed on each side of the second rubber dome so as to increase the thickness on the each side of the second rubber dome. Each side of the second rubber dome is in a direction in which the first and second rubber domes are aligned.

An object is to make it easy to specify, when a switch device for a vehicle gets wet, a path of liquid which attaches on the switch device. There are included: a switch member 13; a connector part 15 connected to the switch member 13; and a casing 14 enclosing the connector part 15, wherein in a state of being attached to a vehicle, an opening end part 14d of an outer circumferential part 14a of the casing 14 includes an end face 21 inclined relative to a direction of gravity G or a curved surface inclined relative to the direction of gravity.

A switch device which is capable of ensuring mounting strength of an additional member while ensuring ease of operation. The switch device has an operating knob that transmits an input operation to a switch unit with an electric contact, and a housing that houses a switch unit. The housing that houses the switch unit has an opening via which the switch unit and the operating knob face each other. The housing has a water prevention wall installed in a standing manner to surround the opening. The operating knob has a box-shaped base member with one end thereof opened. An additional member with at least one insertion portion which is inserted into a through hole of the base member is mounted on the base member. The insertion portion extends to cross a standing direction of the water prevention wall, and as seen in the standing direction, the insertion portion and the opening are located away from each other.

An operation device includes an operation unit to which a plurality of functions of an operated object are assigned corresponding to a position to be touched by an operation finger, a detection unit that is arranged on at least one plane extended including a plane facing the operation unit to detect the operation finger performing an operation on the operation unit, and a determination unit to determine an instructed function based on a combination of the operation performed on the operation unit and the touch position of the detected operation finger.

A switch device includes an operation switch including a switch knob formed integrally with a recess configured to allow a finger to be inserted. The operation switch includes a detector configured to detect a change in a physical amount caused by operation of the switch knob.

The present invention is a power window sync switch for the windows of a vehicle that permits controlling all windows by a single active home or main control window switch. It permits the driver to move all window panels in the vehicle to the same position at the same time. The power window sync switch sends a signal to a micro-processor within the switch to indicate that the window position selected via the actuated switch is to be applied to all window panels simultaneously. The micro-processor within the switch may then proceed to actuate all window lift motors within the vehicle, causing movement of all window panels to the appropriate positions.

A switch device includes an operation switch including a switch knob formed integrally with a recess configured to allow a finger to be inserted. The operation switch includes a detector configured to detect a change in a physical amount caused by operation of the switch knob.

A rocker switch device includes an operation knob with a close bottom cylindrical shape configured to be operated, a body including a contact point configured such that current is interruptible by the operation knob and a support portion that projects toward an inside of the operation knob and supports the operation knob in a manner allowing for rocking, and a projection portion that projects from a portion of a surface of the support portion of the body that opposes the operation knob or a portion of a surface of the operation knob that opposes the body toward an opposing member.
