A switch unit according to the present invention includes: a plurality of switches; a panel on which the plurality of switches are arranged side by side along one direction; and an attachment assembled to the panel in a state that at least one of the switches is assembled thereto. The panel is formed in a manner that a surface thereof bends along a parallel direction, which is a direction that the plurality of switches line up. The attachment has wall surface parts assembled to the switch so as to surround the switch. A side face part along the parallel direction of the panel has an engagement part. Among the wall surface parts of the attachment, a side wall surface part facing the side face part in a state that the attachment is assembled to the panel has an engaged part with which the engagement part is engaged.

An input device includes an manipulating part, a movable member fixed to the manipulating part and having a rotating shaft, a fixing member configured to rotatably support the rotating shaft so that the movable member is rotatable, a flex sensor disposed on the manipulating part and configured to detect flexing of the manipulating part, a switch disposed on the movable member or the fixing member, pressed by a rotating operation of the movable member, and configured to switch between an on state and an off state when a flexing amount of the manipulating part reaches a predetermined amount, and a signal processor configured to output a control signal, based on a first output signal of the flex sensor, and a second output signal of the switch.

A circuit breaker is configured to ensure electrical safety when working on its circuits. The circuit breaker comprises a housing with an exterior boundary. The housing includes an “integrated” Lock-Off feature. It is integrated to one or more housing components of the circuit breaker not as a separate component to achieve most simplicity and least space used as compared to an “add-on” accessory based Lock-Off feature. The “integrated” Lock-Off feature has a feature that is configured to receive a shackle or a shank of a padlock. The circuit breaker further comprises a built-in Lock-Off mechanism including a handle that is configured to move relative to the feature. The built-in Lock-Off mechanism in combination with the Lock-Off feature is configured to prevent handle from being turned ON with the use of padlock. The padlock prevents circuit breaker from turning ON by impeding the handle from moving to an ON-position.
