Abstract:
In this invention, a light-emission lens (120) is provided at a predetermined position in the circumferential direction of a rotary knob (110). An opening on the rotary knob operation side is provided with a knob cap (130). A light-guide part (150A) is disposed on the back surface side of the knob cap, and is coupled to the knob cap. Accompanying a push operation of the knob cap, a slider part (151) turns a push switch (163) ON/OFF. A light source unit (161) causes a light to be emitted to the interior of the light-guide part (150A). In a predetermined region in the axial direction of the light-guide portion, a light adjustment portion (152) spanning in the circumferential direction of the light-guide part is provided in such a manner as to correspond to at least the rotation range of the light-emission lens. Regardless of the sliding position in the axial direction of the light-guide portion yielded by the push operation, the light adjustment portion causes the light from the light source unit to be refracted and emitted to the light-emission lens.
