SWITCH STRUCTURE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switch structure with an excellent operability and mounting workability. SOLUTION: In the switch structure housing dial-system switches 16 to 18, having an operation face 27 movable in vertical direction, in a recess part 37 formed on a switch panel (12), the dial-system switches 16 to 18 are each provided with a switch main body part 24 with its surface side formed on a curved operation face 27, and a joy stick part 25 having a lever part 33 extending from a boss part 29 at the rear face of the main body part 24 in a direction away from the main body part 24 and a base part 34 formed at the tip of the lever part 33 of which, the center part serves as a center part of the movement 36 detecting the moving direction of a lever. Then, a restriction guide part which can contact with the main body part 24 is formed at a recess side face 23 so that the operation face 27 move only in vertical direction with the center part of the movement 36 as a center, in case a turning force in the vertical direction is applied on the operation face 27.
