Multidirectional operating device

A multidirectional operating device includes an operational knob including a knob body and plural ribs, and a bezel portion disposed around a rotational axis of the operational knob. The bezel portion includes plural limiting portions formed standing from a top surface side so as to limit the inclination operation of the operational knob by being opposite to a contact surface of the ribs when the operational knob is located at a neutral position, and plural permitting portions arranged between the limiting portions so as to permit the inclination operation of the operational knob while avoiding a contact with the contact surface of the ribs when the operational knob is located at an operational position that allows the inclination operation by being rotated from the neutral position to a right or left position.

Switch device

A switch device includes an operation part, a first push mechanism that, by a rotation operation of the operation part, selects and activates a first push switch part, a second push mechanism that, by a tilt operation of the operation part, activates a second push switch part, a circuit board including the first push switch part and the second push switch part mounted thereto, and a contact rubber interposed between the circuit board and the first and second push mechanisms. The contact rubber includes contacts corresponding to the first push switch part and the second push switch part and is configured such that the contacts contact with or separate from the corresponding switch parts by a movement of the first push mechanism and the second push mechanism. The contact rubber is formed so as to cover an entire upper surface of the circuit board.
