MULTI-DIRECTIONAL OPERATION SWITCH STRUCTURE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide multi-directional operation switch structure capable of simplifying wiring for a circuit board, easily assembled, and capable of reducing backlash, and having satisfactory operation feeling. SOLUTION: Pin tip ends 21a, etc. of respective push pins 21... are projected downward from pin holes 19c... formed at the bottom face of pin holding recesses 19b, 19c, to push the pressing faces 18a... of the push switches 18... Slide plates 22, 23 are provided at the upper face side of a base member 19, and are slidly moved longitudinally, laterally or diagonally, by an operation of a dial member 32. The dial member 32 moves the slide plates 22, 23 together with the second circuit board 27 along a crossing direction, pushes the push pins 21..., and conducts on/off-switch operations of the push switches 18... provided in the first circuit board 17.
