A waterproof switch device and a waterproof switch module for a vehicle trunk door employing the same are disclosed. Without using a PCB, terminal leads and a pair of switch terminal parts providing switch terminals are integrated with the switch bracket by injection molding. A push button unit is capable of switching the exposed switch terminals and is also sealingly coupled to the top side of the switch bracket so that the space containing the switch terminals and the switch contacts is waterproof. The lead portions of the switch terminals and the switch cables are connected in the terminal receiving space of the switch bracket, and the waterproofing part fills the terminal receiving space so that they are completely embedded so as to be waterproof. The waterproof switch module for a vehicle trunk door adopts the waterproof switch device and is composed of a double waterproof structure by applying an additional waterproof structure.

A switch includes a housing, a movable member reciprocable in the movement direction relative to the housing and including an operation part located at an end of the movable member outside the housing, a guide that guides the movable member in the movement direction, and a sealant sealing a gap between the movable member and the housing inside the compartment.

An electronic device includes a housing, a button hole disposed on a side of the housing, a physical button mounted in the button hole, a support bracket that supports the physical button, and a waterproof bracket that seals, on a side of the housing to which the button hole is adjacent, at least part of a specified area where the physical button and the support bracket are disposed. The waterproof bracket includes a first bracket that makes close contact inside the housing in a direction toward a first surface of the housing and a second bracket that extends from the first bracket while forming a predetermined angle with the first bracket and that makes close contact inside the housing in a direction toward a second surface of the housing that is different from the first surface of the housing.

A push switch according to the present disclosure includes: a case including a recess; a fixed contact member including a fixed contact disposed in the recess; a movable contact member including a movable contact disposed in the recess; a protective sheet disposed in a first direction from the recess and covering the recess; and a rib disposed on the protective sheet. The protective sheet includes: a pressing portion; a fixed portion fixed to the case; and an intermediate portion located between the pressing portion and the fixed portion as viewed in the first direction. As the pressing portion of the protective sheet is pressed along the first direction, the movable contact member deforms by force received from the protective sheet. The movable contact touches the fixed contact as a result of the deformation of the movable contact member.

A switch mechanism (12) includes a housing (16, 18) with a fenestration (21), a switch element (22) held in the housing, and a membrane switch held in the fenestration. The membrane switch includes a flexible membrane (20) and a rigid rib (26). The rib is constrained to linear movement by guides (37, 38) in the housing so that contact with the membrane causes the membrane to deform and the rib to translate to actuate the switch element.

A portable radio includes a printed circuit board, a frame positioned in front of the printed circuit board, a speaker positioned within the frame, a support platform positioned in front of the speaker and the frame, a button positioned in front of the support platform, and electrical components linked between the button and the printed circuit board. The button is movable between a first position where an electrical signal is sent through the plurality of electrical components to the printed circuit board, and a second position where the electrical signal is interrupted.
